The stability of the site including the effect of the improvement works on adjacent buildings and lands are closely monitored. So far, the monitoring records revealed no undue ground movement.
The detailed drainage investigation carried out by the Buildings Department included a closed-circuit TV survey of the foul water and storm water drains.
The results of the drainage investigation were published in the Report on the Kwun Lung Lau Landslide of 23 July 1994 Volume 2 - Findings of the Landslide Investigation (Appendix J). Parts of the drainage systems were found to be in poor condition with leakage.
A statutory order under s28(3) of the buildings Ordinance was served on HKHS on 8 February 1995 requiring the investigation, repair or renewal of the defective drains. Repair work is in hand.
Repair works on the slopes as required by the orders referred to in (a) above will be carried out by the HKHS; in the case of 71-77 Smithfield, by the owners.
About 70% of the remedial works to the failed retaining wall and slope below Block D have been completed. The final completion date for this part of the works will be the end of July 1995.
End/Wednesday, June 28, 1995
