GENERAL ELECTRIC PROVIDED THE BUILDING'S ELEVATORS, CHUBB THE STRONGROOM DOORS, WORMALD INTERNATIONAL THE FIRE FIGHTING FACILITIES AND PHILIPS HANDLED THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION. FROM JAPAN, FUJISASH WON THE TENDER FOR ALUMINIUM WINDOWS AND SUZUKI SHUTTER CO. SHIPPED IN THE ROLLING SHUTTERS.
THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE ITSELF WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD, WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE FOR PILING AND FOUNDATION AND THE CONVENTIONAL REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN AND BEAM METHOD FOR
THE SUPERSTRUCTURE.
THE COMPLETION OF THIS IMPRESSIVE NEW BUILDING FILLS HONG HONG'S NEED FOR INCREASED MAIL-HANDLING CAPABILITY, WHICH IN TURN IS A REFLECTION OF THE CONTINUING DYNAMIC GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
THE NEW G.P.0. WILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS FROM 8 A.M. ON THURSDAY,
