The New Works Division, headed by the Chief Building Services Engineer, is sub-divided into five Sections, each under the supervision of a Senior Building Services Engineer with its complement of Building Services Engineers, Assistant Building Services Engineers, Engineering Assistants, and supervisory staff. Four Sections each support an Architectural Division, and one supports an Engineering Division of Civil Engineering Office, each being responsible for the design, specification, and supervision of electrical, lift, air-conditioning, refrigeration, mechanical services, and liquefied petroleum and town gas services installations in new public works projects (including Resettlement and Government Low-Cost Housing and Hung Hom Development) and military new works projects. The Maintenance Division, headed by a Senior Building Services Engineer, has a similar complement of staff and is responsible for both the maintenance of electrical, lift, floodlighting, gas, and fire alarm installations and the provision of air-conditioning in existing Government and H.B.M. Services Establishments.
4.21 In addition to projects designed in the Architectural Office, the Branch is responsible for the design, specification, and supervision of building services installations in buildings designed by private architects on behalf of Government. The Branch has also commissioned Consultant Engineers for building engineering services estimated at $54.82M in twelve major projects at present under investigation, being designed, or in progress. Assistance has also been given to the Education Department on the subject of building services installations in grant-in-aid and subsidized schools and to the Commissioner for Resettlement and the Commissioner for Housing on building services engineering in flats, estates, and factories under their respective control.
