removal of steam boilers and disinfecting equipment from the old disinfecting station and, after overhaul, re-installation at the new depot.
(ii) Radio Station on Lam Tong Island
Design details of the pipeline to carry diesel oil from the pier on the north-west of the island to the Civil Aviation Department's new radio station on the southern tip of the island were completed and the oil pumping equipment ordered. The pipeline will be some 2,400 yards in length and will rise to a maximum of 375 feet as it crosses the island. The construction of the main fuel tanks at the delivery end of the pipeline was commenced.
(iii) Kennedy Town Incinerator
The erection of this major plant which comprises four incinerators each rated at 10½ tons of refuse per hour, two 15,000 lbs/hour waste heat boilers and a 1200 Kw turbo alternator, was commenced in May and by the end of the year was approximately 75% complete. The alternator and fuel oil storage tank were installed and good progress was made on the main incinerators and complex ash handling system. The civil engineering work, including the construction of a quay for the ash barges, was substantially completed.
(iv) Lai Chi Kok Incinerator
Piling for this plant was completed and a start made on the construction of the main building structure. Materials for the main plant continued to arrive in large quantities and by the end of the year some 50% had been received on site.
