In September 2018, super typhoon Mangkhut caused extensive damage to the city including damage to the structures on the external walls of buildings, toppling of numerous trees and severe flooding in coastal areas. Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground also felt the impacts of typhoon Mangkhut with major facilities inside the venue including the power supply installation, covers of the spectator stands, field tracks and grass pitches severely damaged.
The project of constructing a new wave breaking boundary wall and altering the existing boundary wall at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground aimed to mitigate the damages caused by flooding while also enhancing infrastructure preparedness for future extreme weather conditions.
The project consisted of two phases. Phase 1 was the 400mm extension to the existing boundary wall which commenced in mid-July 2019 and completed in the end of August in 2019. Meanwhile, Phase 2 was the construction of the new boundary wall facing harbour which commenced in early September 2019 and was completed in the end of December 2019.
