Principal Government Electrical and Mechanical Engineer:
J. A. WALLACE, C.Eng., F.I.Mech.E., M.B.I.M.
J. LIM, B.Sc., C.Eng., F.I.Mech.E. (Acting 21.5.72-7.1.73)
Government Electrical and Mechanical Engineer:
J. LIM, B.Sc., C.Eng., F.I.Mech.E.
G. J. OSBORNE, C.Eng., F.I.Mech.E., M.B.I.M. (Acting 21.5.72–7.1.73)
8.01 This Office continued to be responsible for the electrical and mechanical engineering of Government projects, with the exception of Waterworks projects. Just prior to the end of the year, pumps and pumping systems and emergency generators for Building Services Projects also became the responsibility of this office. In addition, air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, refrigeration, cold stores, pumping stations for air conditioning installations and filtration plant for swimming pools are now referred to this office to ensure adequate provision for operation and maintenance facilities.
8.02 The office provides a service to other Departments and other offices of the Public Works Department, acting as consultants and contractors on electrical and mechanical matters, including the maintenance of most of the equipment used by Government and the whole of its fleet of 3,499 vehicles.
8.03 During the year a detailed study of the Workshops organization was completed and certain proposals made and adopted to accommodate the changing and increasing workload and to provide a service for Government Departments which would be simultaneously effective, timely and economical.
8.04 The Progress and Planning Sub-Division, working in liaison with the workshop re-organization, introduced new working procedures in various Sections, conducted feasibility studies into the use of various proprietary products, and revised existing procedures to reduce massive documentation and associated clerical effort. It is to be regretted that the activities of this Sub-division were, to some extent, limited due to the staffing situation where resignations outpaced recruitment. This was due to higher salary inducements offered in the private sector.
