scattered widely throughout the Colony and, in addition to such civil engineering equipment as road rollers, air compressors, bulldozers and asphalt spreaders, the Plant Section is also responsible for all water pumps for Government premises, standby diesel-driven electrical generating plant, all the equipment in Government dental clinics, abattoir and by-products plant, etc. This section also handles the heavier repairs, annual surveys and overhauls of all the boilers and steam-operated equipment and installations in Government hospitals and prison laundries.
General Engineering
7.27. This section is basically responsible for the engineering element of the workshops and, in addition to maintenance and repair work, it also manufactures new equipment and produces replacement parts for all the other sections of the workshops on demand. This section also handles the installation and subsequent maintenance of such diverse items of equipment as sewage pumping and screening plants, oil-fired incinerators, printing machinery and petrol pump installations. An interesting item produced during the year was a neuro-surgery table complete with trolleys and trays to meet the specific requirements of the neuro surgeon at Queen Mary Hospital.
7.28. During the year, 1,320 additional parking meters were installed bringing the total under maintenance on both sides of the harbour to 3,336. Nearly 18,500 faults—of which over 90% were due solely to malicious damage—required to be rectified.
Hospital Services
7.29. The newly formed Hospital Services Section, headed by a Technical Superintendent under the charge of the Plant Engineer, is responsible for the operation and routine maintenance of all mechanical and electrical services in hospitals and clinics. These services include the air conditioning and refrigeration plants, boilers, emergency generators, steam, hot water and other piping systems, compressed air and medical gas installations.
7.30. Additional to the existing installations at Queen Mary Hospital, Kowloon Hospital, Tsan Yuk Hospital, Sai Ying Pun Clinic and Castle Peak Hospital, the Section took over the operation and maintenance of the services in the newly completed Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
7.31. The formation of the Hospital Services Section has brought the various technical services in each hospital under unified control
