History
In 1970’s, Hong
Kong embarked major railway construction works in order to meet the
rapid urbanization needs of its people. Permanent Way Institution (Hong
Kong Branch) was founded in 1979 as a learned society organizing
technical forum and social gathering activities for its members and the railway practitioners in Hong Kong.
In 1998, with
increasing railway technical activities held between Hong Kong and the Mainland of China and support
from the China Railway Society, China Hong Kong Permanent way Society
(CHKPWS) 中國香港鐵道學會 was formed. Most of the members were transferred to
the new society. Close collaborations with Guangdong Railway Society,
Beijing Railway Society and Shanghai Railway Society has strengthened
relationship between CHKPWS and mainland railway societies.
In
late 2010, CHKPWS conducted strategic review workshops on its long term
objectives to capture the recent major developments of railway
industry in both Hong Kong and the Mainland of China. The major developments
included the merger of Mass Transit Railway Corporation and Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation, the presence of more
railway
consultants and contractors for the five railway projects in Hong Kong,
the ever-increasing closer relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland
of China initiated by the 12th Five Year Development Plan in the People's Republic of China, and the
need to maintain close relationship with the industry, PRC and PWI.
These major developments drove major changes in CHKPWS to capture opportunities for growth and to enhance services to both
members and the industry. In 2011, CHKPWS was re-named as China Hong
Kong Railway Institution (CHKRI).
