Wilbur Smith & Associates, a firm of transportation and traffic consultants, continued to work on the Hong Kong Comprehensive Transport Study in which information given in previous major transportation studies was updated.
Drainage and Water Pollution Control Projects
3.16
Regular monitoring of harbour and beach waters and bottom sediments has been carried out to measure the pollution level and the effects of marine disposal of sewage. This is a long-term operation and the results were utilized in the planning of sewage treatment and disposal works.
Preparation of a long-term sewage treatment and disposal programme plan has just been started, taking into account the Consultant's recommendations in the report on the Marine Investigation into Sewage Discharges. Capacity of existing sewer systems in major sewerage districts has been constantly kept under review with a view to determining the need and programme for improvements where necessary to cope with development. Investigations by consultants into the best method of treating and disposing of sewage from Sha Tin and from north-west Kowloon, extending from Lai Chi Kok to Yau Ma Tei, were completed. The pilot sewage treatment plant under construction in Shek Wu Hui was well advanced. Consulting engineers have also been employed to carry out a detailed study of methods of solid waste disposal for the whole of Hong Kong for the next ten years. The study of drainage characteristics of road pavement and the performance of gully gratings pertinent to Hong Kong conditions continued.
Port Works and Reclamation
3.17
The planning and construction of seawalls, piers and other marine structures continues to be carried out, not to a programme, but as and when required.
3.18
Engineering investigation and feasibilities studies were carried out to determine the size and layout for larger reclamation schemes.
Land Development
3.19
Where the formation and servicing of undeveloped areas for urban use involve major engineering works, an investigation into the engineering feasibility of the proposed development is carried out by the Civil Engineering Office.
These investigations are programmed in accordance with the order of priority in line with Government policy.
3.20 Feasibility studies currently in the programme include, for example, areas for development such as Tat Chee Avenue, Lung Cheung Road Area 5, Tai Hom, areas north of La Salle Road, and Yau Tong East as well as many other locations.
Investigation of further sites for controlled tipping of refuse in the Colony continued. Consulting engineers have been employed to locate sites in the Kowloon Foothills area for development purposes. A study of the recreational needs in Hong Kong and the development of Lantau Island and Sai Kung to provide recreational facilities was also commissioned.
Airport Development
