191. A considerable amount of work was carried out during the year at Kai Tak Airport. The access track to the R.A.F. dispersal area which consisted of a 7″ thickness of stabilized earth surface failed under heavy traffic and was reconstructed with a 6″ vibrated concrete slab on 3″ hardcore. The hard-standing area was improved by the reconstruction of a further section in 6″ of concrete. Owing to the poor bearing value of the subsoil the re-construction of the 13/31 runway extension entailed the laying of a 3′-0″ depth of combined foundation and wearing surface. This runway extension was reconstructed half width at a time, the excavation being taken down 3′-0″
