227. The whole site, including parking facilities for some 500 cars, occupies an area of over 16 acres.
228. Sung Wong Toi Reclamation. This work which consists of the construction of 300 feet of new seawall adjacent to the proposed new airport runway at Kai Tak and of the extension by 450 feet of a large box culvert was almost completed by the end of the year. The culvert was of precast invert sections set on a rubble mound foundation and the top half was cast in situ.
229. Ma Tau Kok Reclamation Scheme. This comprised a new sea wall 500 feet in length together with 200 feet of pitched slope retaining wall and was completed during the year. An area of approximately 6 acres was thereby reclaimed and this is intended to provide a suitable concourse for vehicles serving the passenger ferry pier under construction at this site for the Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company. This pier which is 235 feet long by 60 feet wide, in reinforced concrete, will provide two berths each capable of taking the largest ferry vessel in use or envisaged.
230. Site Preparation for a Low-Cost Housing Scheme, Hung Hom. The removal of a hill adjacent to Ma Tau Wei Road, Hung Hom, was commenced in June. The scheme is being carried out with Colonial Development and Welfare Funds to provide sites for low-cost housing. The work was half completed by the end of the year, some 270,000 cubic yards of earth and rock having been removed, and an area of about 143,000 square feet cut down to housing formation levels.
231. All the earth removed from the site was dumped at Hung Hom Bay for reclamation purposes.
232. New Star Ferry Piers. These two piers were described in last year's Annual Report. Working drawings and contract documents were completed by the end of the year.
