carried out for the new Star Ferry Piers with the completed section of reclamation at Rumsey Street, stage II being between the Star Ferry Pier and the present Vehicular Ferry Pier, and stage IV the remaining section. In stage II 500 feet of the seawall, three berths for Post Office mail launches and eleven pumphouses to be rented to private developers, were being constructed. In stage IV an old steel pier was demolished and a dredging and sand filling contract let for the foundations of the seawall and three piers.
Hung Hom Reclamation
8.03. A further section of approximately 700 feet of seawall at the southern end of the Hung Hom reclamation was completed. The spoil for filling behind the wall was taken from the new military hospital site at King's Park. A total volume of 192,000 cubic yards of spoil was dumped and a further area of 4.8 acres reclaimed. An underground pumphouse was incorporated in the wall for the supply of salt water to the air-conditioning plant and flushing system of the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Kwun Tong Reclamation
8.04. To extend the existing seawall fronting Industrial Zone 5 by a further 2,000 feet to the north-west, a contract for dredging a foundation trench and backfilling with sand and rubble was let in September 1961. The works progressed satisfactorily and the foundation mound was brought to its final profile.
Cheung Sha Wan Reclamation
8.05. A total of 575,000 cubic yards of earth and building debris was dumped to reclaim a further 9.5 acres of land. Until the removal and clearance of the existing boat building yards is completed, no further work can be carried out in this area.
Reclamation off Jordan Road
8.06. The construction of approximately 850 feet of seawall for reclaiming 5.8 acres of land between the Vehicular Ferry terminal and Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter was started in February 1962. The preparation of the foundation trench was completed and casting of the concrete blocks started.
