NEW QUARRY IN KOWLOON TO BE DEVELOPED SOON
Tenders will soon be invited for the development of a new quarry
at Anderson Road north of Sau Mau Ping in Kowloon.
The new contract will emphasise that the quarry must be worked by
modern methods of quarrying to ensure efficient production and safe working
condition.
Provision will also be made for the successful contractor to continue
working until the available reserves of stone are removed within the designated
area,
The contractor must also be responsible for landscaping the area
when the extraction of stone is completed.
The whole operation is expected to take 10 years, although this period
may be reduced if there is a large increase in the demand for quarry products.
The area that it is proposed to quarry lies north of Anderson Road
and will adjoin the existing quarries in the district.
The proposed area incorporates several other quarry sites only one of
which is now being world. The quarry area has been designed and the works
will be supervised by the Quarries section of the Civil Engineering Office,
Public Works Department.
