In the latter connection, there are now 5,738 lifts and 94 Escalators in use in Hong Kong. 6,104 certificates were issued and 18 investigations were made into lift accidents, unregistered lifts, and complaints by the public.
New Projects Section
7.05. Designs, specifications and working drawings are prepared for electrical work on projects not undertaken by the Mechanical & Electrical Division of the Waterworks Office or the Building Services Division of the Architectural Office. During 1967-68 the 1.5 Megawatt turbo-alternator at the Kennedy Town Incinerator Plant was brought into use and has since proved trouble-free. At the corresponding plant in Lai Chi Kok a larger, 2.5 Megawatt 11 Kilovolt set has been ordered. Both sets are designed to use steam from the waste heat of the incinerators. A considerable amount of work was also done in connection with the electrical installation for the Lai Chi Kok Incinerator and Compost Plant, while many minor projects were processed.
Installation Section
7.06. In this Section electrical work is done for a variety of new installations as well as rewiring existing installations. The major installations completed during the year included control equipment for the lighting of Lion Rock Tunnel and the cabling for the Tunnel ventilating system. The lighting, which varies from 1780 lux at the tunnel mouths to 150 lux in the centre of the tunnel, has proved to be most effective, while the toll collection apparatus, the Tunnel control system and the carbon dioxide warning system are now in constant use and giving excellent service. Installation work was completed for the crushing, screening and premix plant at Diamond Hill Quarry, the distribution network in the Kowloon-Canton Railway Workshops at Sha Tin and at the New Wanchai Ferry Pier. Other installations included the ice and cargo conveyor galleries which, following the closure of the sea water canal, are being provided for the Dairy Farm at Causeway Bay; the new Yaumati Slipway and many smaller items such as typhoon signals, navigation beacons, pumps, generators and switchboards.
7.07. The Installation Section is also responsible for the electrical works associated with traffic aids, including traffic lights and their control systems. To cope with the increasingly complex traffic patterns a very sophisticated type of signal controller has been ordered by the
