Information

Tai Tam Upper Reservoir Masonry Bridge 1883 – 1888

作為水塘項目的一部分,石橋與輸水道成直角興建,橫跨昔日的大潭上水塘的溢洪道。石墩及柱子亦以模塑柱頂或托臂加固,為石橋提供更大的承托。Built as part of the reservoir project, this bridge sits at a right angle to the aqueduct, across what was once the byewash of the Tai Tam Upper Reservoir.  Its piers and columns are also strengthened with moulded capitals or corbels to provide extra support for the bridge

Tai Tam Upper Reservoir Masonry Aqueduct 1883 - 1888

輸水道位於水壩西南面的小山丘後,以厚混凝土板建成,並以特製模塑石墩及柱子承托。輸水道橫跨昔日的河床,把來自間接集水區的雨水引入大潭上水塘。Located to the southwest of the dam behind a small hill, the aqueduct is constructed in thick concrete slabs supported on specifically moulded masonry piers and columns.  It sits across what was once a stream bed and diverts rainwater from an indirect drainage catchment to the Tai Tam Upper Reservoir.
