GENERAL
6.01 The Civil Engineering Office concentrates on works in connection with site formation, reclamation, seawall construction and investigation and the planning, design and construction of all new stormwater drains, sewers, sewage treatment and disposal systems. The Office is also responsible for the civil engineering works required for the development of Kai Tak Airport and the Kowloon-Canton Railway. The work is divided among three divisions, one unit and three sections, each with specific responsibilities as shown on the organization chart on page 60. Consulting engineers are appointed to carry out certain work either because it is beyond the capacity of the office or because of its specialist nature. A schedule of projects undertaken by consulting engineers is given at Appendix R. Although most works, including Maintenance, are carried out by contract, a direct-labour force is employed for the operation of the two Government quarries, sewage handling stations and for manning dredgers and other floating craft engaged on port maintenance work.
6.02 Civil Engineering works in general progressed satisfactorily. The non-recurrent expenditure this year amounted to $108,064,000 while $28,281,000 was spent on maintenance work, minor improvements and storm damage repairs.
6.03 Service on committees continued to make demands on the time of senior staff and details of inter-departmental committees on which officers served are as follows:
