6.59 With the continuing expansion of the civil engineering programme without a corresponding increase in professional and technical staff and due to the specialised nature of some of the work and investigations, it has been necessary to engage consulting engineers to assist in implementing the programme and their involvement is likely to increase in the foreseeable future.
6.60 All projects under consulting engineers previously dealt with by other Divisions were taken over by this new Division during the year and six further projects were commenced. Eight firms of consulting engineers were engaged on 17 projects and another 4 projects intended to be undertaken by consultants were being initiated. Eight of the projects were investigations or feasibility studies and reports on three of these were received.
6.61 Construction work commencing during the year included Stage I of Clear Water Bay Road Development and, at Kai Tak Airport, the road tunnel, the overlaying of the existing runway, runway extension paving and electrical works.
