BUILDING SERVICES DIVISION
Senior Electrical Engineer:
B. M. ROACH, A.M.I.E.E.
2.12. This division, headed by a Senior Electrical Engineer, was divided into three sections under electrical and air-conditioning engineers. They were responsible for (a) the design, specification and supervision of electrical and lift installations; (b) the design, specification and supervision of air-conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration installations and (c) the maintenance of electrical installations and the organization of lift maintenance by lift contracting firms. Each section had its complement of engineers, assistant engineers, engineering assistants and electrical or air-conditioning inspectorate staff. Despite under-staffing in the professional grades through recruitment difficulties, they were able to deal with all the office projects and also assist private architects engaged on Government building projects. In addition the electrical installations of schools built under the Grant-in-aid scheme were approved.
2.13. During the year contracts or sub-contracts were let for 69 electrical installations, 100 lifts and 27 air-conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation installations, to the total value of $16 million. In addition, electrical fittings, main switchboards, equipment and appliances were purchased to the value of $2.6 million.
NEW WORKS
2.14. The paragraphs that follow refer briefly to the various new buildings for which the Architectural Office was responsible. The majority of the projects were designed and supervised by Architectural Office staff, but a few were undertaken by private architects. Private quantity surveyors were also engaged for some of the schemes. For details see Appendix G.
EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS
2.15. Two secondary schools were completed, one at Shau Kei Wan and the other at Tsuen Wan. These six-storey buildings conform to standard plans which provide 24 classrooms, staff rooms and offices, and a large assembly hall with a stage and a covered play area beneath. Special rooms for a library, chemistry, physics, biology, general science, needlework, housecraft, woodwork, metalwork, geography, art and music are also provided. 12 additional classrooms and 7 special rooms were built at King George V School and at the Hong Kong Technical
