**
Mectrical works on the 2,530-foot Hong Kong Airport runway extension
are to start shortly.
The works, which form the third and final stage of the runway extension
project, will cost about $3.5 million,
They include the supply and installation of airfield lighting fittings,
lighting control equipment, electricity power supply plant as well as all the
associated cabling.
It is expected that the works will take about 12 months, and on completion,
the extension of the runway, additional taxiway and a by-pass/sequencing area
will be available for use by aircraft.
The $5 million extension
among the biggest projects in the Public
Works programme is designed by Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick and Partners, consulting
civil engineers, who are supervising its construction.
The electrical aspect of the works has been designed in association
with their sub-consultants, Preece Cardew and Rider of Brighton, U.K.
