KENNEDY TOWN INCINERATOR TO BE ENLARGED
Piling work for an extension to accommodate an additional furnace
unit in the Kennedy Town incineration plant will start next month.
According to a spokesman for the Public Works Department, the
plant at present consists of four furnace units, three of which are operated continuously throughout the year with one unit under maintenance by rotation.
The fifth unit to be added will be capable of disposing of 250 tons
of refuse per day.
The spokesman said that the piling work was expected to be
completed towards the end of November.
Those works have been designed by W.V. Zinn and Associates and
construction will be supervised by Maunsell Consultants Asia on behalf
of the Public Works Department.
Construction of the building extension will take another year
to complete and it will be followed by the erection of machinery and equipment.
The whole project costs about $14 million and the fifth furnace
is expected to be in operation by the end of 1975.
