6.01 The Civil Engineering Office is responsible for harbour engineering works, reclamation, and land development and for the overall planning, design and construction of new stormwater drains, sewers, sewage treatment and disposal systems and controlled tipping of municipal refuse. It also undertakes civil engineering works required for the development of Kai Tak Airport and the Kowloon-Canton Railway. In addition, it operates all P.W.D. material-testing laboratories and Government quarries, administers the Sand Monopoly and all contracts for quarrying let out to private concerns and provides liaison to facilitate the development and maintenance of Kai Tak Airport.
6.02 The Office is divided into 5 divisions, 2 sections and 1 unit, the responsibilities of which are outlined on the organization chart on page 63. Consulting engineers are employed to carry out certain projects primarily due to staff shortage, although in a few instances their expertise is needed.
6.03 All new projects and most maintenance works are carried out by contract, but the Office maintains a direct-labour force for the operation of Government quarries, sewage-treatment works and floating plant. Satisfactory progress was generally maintained throughout the year, for which the non-recurrent expenditure was $134.12M. Another $26.42M was spent on maintenance and minor improvement works.
6.04 Projects completed or under construction and particulars of site formation schemes are listed in Appendices O, P and Q respectively. A list of projects undertaken by consulting engineers is given at Appendix R, while statistics relating to road and drainage works,
