7.25. One of the major plants brought into use during the year under review was the Lai Chi Kok Incinerator and Compost Plant. This was officially opened by Sir Albert RODRIGUES, C.B.E., E.D., J.P. on the 28th February, 1969, at a ceremony attended by a number of well-known personages. Prior to the opening, furnace and duct refractories were dried out and pre-commissioning trials carried out on the ancillary systems. After the first unit, No. 3, was started, it was slowly brought up to working temperature in early March. During this period, certain faults came to light; these were rectified by the manufacturers. The drying grate downdraught system of this plant will not be completed until the present trials at Kennedy Town Plant result in a thoroughly efficient and reliable installation.
7.26. Preliminary investigation, design work, preparation of drawings, specifications, indent, and contract documents were in various stages of progress on 22 projects. Among these were the engineering services for the Yaumati Government Slipway (electric hoists, compressed air system, and fuel oil storage); steam and power supply for the Lai Chi Kok Incinerator Plant (turbo-alternator set and associated steam pipework, sea water pumps, and condenser cooling system); steam services, compressed air services, mechanical services, fuel oil systems in five hospitals and clinics; steam, mechanical services, and equipment in five laundries; and conveyorized customs inspection units, together with the repositioning of existing trolley conveyors at Kai Tak Airport.
7.27. Contracts were signed, and work started on 12 projects. Among the largest of these were contracts for the provision of the baggage handling conveyor systems and passenger access bridges to aircraft at Kai Tak Airport. Tenders were called for by the Architectural Office in accordance with specifications prepared by the E. & M. Office. This Office will supervise the engineering aspects of these installations and co-ordinate work on site with contractors, other government departments, and P.W.D. sub-departments. Other major projects included the installation of underground fuel tanks and systems in three locations, alterations to existing steam services in a hospital, and the erection of cranes and slipway cradles at the Yaumati Government Slipway.
7.28. 19 projects were completed during the period under review, including improvements to the diesel fuel system and installation of additional laundry equipment in Queen Elizabeth Hospital; installation of incinerators and associated burner equipment and fuel oil systems.
