The Hong Kong Free Press has reported that some sea defences were fully submerged, and looked different to how they were shown in the bridge's design documents and computer visualisations. These documents suggested the concrete blocks should sit proud of the water and not submerged. Structural analysis in this situation would be essential in order to produce a structural report.
