PUMPING STATION IN CENTRAL
A salt water pumphouse is to be built at Edinburgh Place in Central
to provide cooling water for the air-conditioning system of the Murray
Road Carpark and the future Murray Building II.
Construction work is expected to begin in April this year and
will take about six months to complete.
The pumping station will be constructed below ground level behind
the existing soawall near Queen's Pier and will house four pumping units.
To make room for the new pumphouse, the present Albany Mullah

The works have been designed by the Port Works Division of the
Public Works Department which will supervise the construction.
