INDUSTRIAL BUILDING MANAGEMENT SUCCESS IN KWAI TSING
* * * * *
IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE KWAI TSING DISTRICT OFFICE'S INDUSTRIAL BUILDING MANAGEMENT CO-ORDINATING TEAM (IBMCT) HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HELPING 20 MULTI-STOREY INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS SOLVE THEIR MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS.
SPEAKING AT A MEETING OF THE KWAI CHUNG ROTARY CLUB TODAY (THURSDAY), THE HOUSING MANAGER OF THE IBMCT, MR LEE KANG-SUM, SAID THAT THESE BUILDINGS, ALL OVER 10 YEARS OLD, HAD IMPLEMENTED SELF-HELP IMPROVEMENT SCHEMES WITH ADVICE FROM THE TEAM.
MR LEE SAID KWAI TSING DISTRICT HAD ABOUT 160 MULTI-STOREY INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS PROVIDING ACCOMMODATION FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF INDUSTRIES.
THE COMMON PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN THESE BUILDINGS WERE ILLEGAL DISCHARGE OF TRADE EFFLUENTS, UNAUTHORISED BUILDING WORKS AND ALTERATIONS, OBSTRUCTION OF COMMON AREAS, AND LACK OF BUILDING MAINTENANCE.
THE SITUATION IN THE DISTRICT WAS FURTHER AGGRAVATED BY OFFENSIVE TRADES SUCH AS LEATHER TANNING AND THE BOILING OF LARD.
MR LEE SAID THAT THE IBMCT DID NOT HAVE POWER то TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTION AND COULD ONLY RELY ON PERSUASION.
"IT WOULD THEREFORE TAKE SOME TIME TO GAIN THE CONFIDENCE AND CO-OPERATION OF THE OWNERS' INCORPORATIONS, HE POINTED OUT.
+1
IN THE LONG TERM, HOWEVER, EDUCATION AND PUBLICITY WOULD BE ESSENTIAL IN HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT.
