KAI TAK NULLAH IMPROVEMENT WORK STARTS
***
WORK HAS STARTED ON A SCHEME TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF WATER IN KAI TAK NULLAH AND THE KOWLOON BAY TYPHOON SHELTER.
THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS AWARDED A $3.9 MILLION CONTRACT FOR THE WORK WHICH IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A YEAR TO COMPLETE.
THE POLLUTED CONDITION OF THE NULLAH AND THE TYPHOON SHELTER NEAR KAI TAK AIRPORT HAS REACHED AN UNSATISFACTORY STATE WITH THE RELEASE OF OBNOXIOUS GAS.
AS PART OF THE PROJECT TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM, THREE PUMPING STATIONS, AN OXYGEN STORAGE COMPOUND, A CONTROL HOUSE, A TRANSFORMER HOUSE AND ASSOCIATED PIPE-WORKS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE PRESENT CONTRACT.
THESE WILL BE BUILT ON LAND ALONG THE SEAWALL AT THE UPSTREAM END OF THE TYPHOON SHELTER FOR INJECTING PURE OXYGEN INTO THE WATER, THUS PREVENTING THE FORMATION OF THE FOUL SMELLING GAS.
