Slope maintenance exhibition to begin in Tai Po

An exhibition on slope maintenance will begin tomorrow (Monday) at Phase II of Tai Wo Estate Shopping Arcade in Tai Po.

Organised by the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Civil Engineering Department, the display is part of the department's continuing efforts in promoting public awareness of the importance of slope maintenance.

A new educational video on slope maintenance, which aims at promulgating the message that property owners should maintain slopes within their lots to prevent the occurrence of landslide, will be shown at the exhibition.
