Lion Rock Tunnel

8.35. The Lion Rock Tunnel Electrical and Mechanical Services Section maintains the electrical and electronic equipment connected with the toll booths, the tunnel lighting, carbon monoxide monitoring equipment, smoke-detection units, ventilation plants and 'no-break' generator sets. 367 repairs were carried out and 1,427 tunnel lights replaced. In addition, the southern and northern lane marker beacon flashing circuits were modified, temporary emergency supply wiring to the tunnel lighting control consoles in the control room installed, three visibility indication and alarm equipment for double decker buses were resited and the modification to the C.O.

Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of additional air-conditioning plant, installed to serve these new sections, was also taken over. During March 1971, the section assumed responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the services in the new 7-storey David Trench Rehabilitation Centre including two oil-fired water heaters, air-conditioning plant and two large air-compressor units.
