📋 Tender Overview
To address the challenges posed by climate change and extreme weather to coastal areas the Civil Engineering and Development Department CEDD today May 11 announced the Shoreline Management Guideline for Coastal Development and incorporated it into the Port Works Design Manual The Guideline applies to existing and new coastal development projects to facilitate the systematic assessment and management of risks by stakeholders thereby mitigating the impacts of storm surges and overtopping waves
The CEDD completed the Study on Shoreline Management Plan in 2024 The study provides guidance on planning and implementing urban coastal development and protection as well as the formulation of longterm strategies and preventive measures to enhance the resilience of the Government and stakeholders against climate change Based on the studys findings and recommendations the CEDD developed the Guideline which outlines an integrated strategy of adaptation resilience and management to establish multilayered protection
adaptation constructing structures to mitigate the impact of seawater inundation
resilience adopting temporary or nonstructural measures to control flood risks enabling a speedy recovery for society and
management strengthening emergency preparedness and information dissemination to raise public awareness of flood prevention
The Guideline covers riskbased planning and design principles and procedures as well as options and examples of protective measures It serves as a practical guide for stakeholders with businesses operations in coastal or waterfront areas assisting them in implementing relevant protective measures
The CEDD has also produced a brochure titled Lets Build a Resilient Coast which introduces the integrated strategy of adaptation resilience and management as well as multilayered protection measures while providing recommendations on architectural design and pretyphoon preparations
