207. The work carried out can be considered under four main heads:
(a) the maintenance of sea walls and piers and miscellaneous dredging work;
(b) new construction work on reclamations and public piers and other Public Works Extraordinary projects;
(c) the design and investigation of future works;
(d) supervision of the Materials Testing Laboratory.
Maintenance
208. The repair and maintenance of the Colony's public piers and seawalls were carried out, as in previous years, under an annual Maintenance contract. The majority of this work comprised the repair of broken fenders and rails, steps and pier structures generally, together with painting of steelwork.
209. Typhoon and stormwater damage was less than the previous year. Walls were breached however at several places and damage was caused to the breakwaters at Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. At Shatin an earth bund protecting low-lying paddy fields was extensively damaged and this was reconstructed with imported filling and faced with granite.
