Transport officials have revealed that crucial construction documents have gone missing at another future MTR station along the scandal-plagued Shatin-Central Link.
After it was recently discovered that up to 60 percent of Request for Inspection, Survey and Check (RISC) forms regarding three work sites at Hung Hom Station were missing, the Transport Department began checking the documents for other stations along the future link, beginning with To Kwa Wan and Diamond Hill.
In a paper submitted to the Legislative Council, the Transport Bureau says the RISC forms and site records for Diamond Hill Station are "generally acceptable".
But it says there are “deficiencies” in documentation for the construction of the To Kwa Wan Station. Officials, however, did not specify how many of the papers are missing.
RISC forms are important because workers aren't supposed to proceed to the next construction step unless the papers are signed and checked.
The government said the MTR Corporation has been asked to carry out an investigation to assess the full extent of the problem and its potential implications, and propose remedial action.
Authorities added that they will continue checking the remaining stations, with priority given to stations along the Tai Wai to Hung Hom section, which may soon be part of a partial opening of the link.
Lawmakers were due to discuss the matter at a Legco meeting on Friday.
