Central Reclamation Stage III
243. Work on this stage of the thirty-six acre Central Reclamation project progressed rapidly. The deposition of the rubble foundation immediately followed the completion of the dredging and sandfilling works by the Société Française d'Entreprises de Dragages et de Travaux Publics, and at year's end was substantially completed. A further contract for the construction of approximately 1,050 feet of seawall and two temporary return walls totalling 500 feet on these foundations was let in February.
Hung Hom Reclamation
244. Plans for a length of 1,500 feet of seawall at the northern end of the reclamation were held in abeyance pending a decision on the resiting of the railway terminus. It was therefore decided to construct approximately 1,930 feet of seawall at the southern end and a contract for this work was awarded in March. Earlier in the year the foundation trench for 1,400 feet of this length was dredged and backfilled with sand by contract and a start made on the dredging of the remaining length by departmental plant.
245. The reclamation remained closed to public dumping throughout the year although spoil from Government works continued to be tipped there.
Seawall at Tsuen Wan Reclamation
246. A contract was let for 600 feet of seawall and later extended for a further 200 feet. This was completed during the year and contract drawings have been prepared for the construction of the remaining 2,600 feet of wall required to contain the whole reclamation.
Site Preparation for Low Cost Housing, Hung Hom
247. The removal of the hill adjacent to Ma Tau Wei Road, Hung Hom was completed and the full levelled site turned over to the Housing Society for the erection of low cost housing. The reduction of the hill included the excavation of 500,000 cubic yards of earth and 125,000 cubic yards of granite.
Site Development at Tai Wan Hill, Hung Hom
248. With the exception of drainage channels and some remedial work to render the cutting slopes safe, work was completed on the levelling of the hill at Tai Wan for four 7-storeyed resettlement blocks and the remaining two sites were handed over.
