Abstract The in-construction Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) will be the longest cross-sea bridge and tunnel combined highway in the world. Firstly, the related projects and the project features of HZMB are investigated and summarized in this paper. Then the construction scheme, management system and business of HZMB are described in detail. Finally, based on the analysis mentioned above and the four principles of organization structure design, the total organizational structure of HZMB is presented. Keywords HZMB • Management system • Organization structure design
93.1 Introduction The in-construction Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) is a series of bridges and tunnels that will connect Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, three major cities situated on the Pearl River Delta in southern China (Hussain et al. 2011). The proposed 50 km link, with an estimated investment of 72.94 billion yuan and a designed service life of 120 years, consists three parts: Offshore Bridge-cumTunnel, Boundary Crossing Facilities (BCF) at Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, and Link Roads in these three regions (Yu Lie 2011). Construction formally began on 15 December 2009, and expected to be put into service in 2016 (Zhang and Zhu 2012). When completed, it will become the longest six-lane immersed tube tunnel, and the longest cross-sea bridge and tunnel combined highway in the world.

The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things (Levitt 1991). While a study by Harvard Business School and McKinsey & Company concluded that organizational structure is one of the key points of project management. Mintzberg has written extensively and significantly on the importance of organizational structure (Mintzberg 1989). Further, organizational structure and design are closely entwined (Mabey et al. 2001) with many aspects of human resource management. In this paper, the organizational structure design of HZMB is studied to achieve the construction and management goals. Because of the unique feature that project engages three regional governments administered under the policy of “One Country, Two Systems”, this paper could give a novel perspective for the organization design. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: In Sect. 93.1, the related projects and the project features of HZMB are investigated and summarized. Requirement analysis is taken into account in Sect. 93.2. Section 93.3 proposes the organizational structure of H
