Consulting engineers have completed a study and located 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 completed.
Airport Development
3.22
Construction work associated with both the Civil Aviation Department 10-year development plan and the development of the adjacent Kowloon Bay continued apace.
3.23 With the continued development of facilities, especially such projects as the apron and runway extension, together with the ever increasing severity of loading due to more and heavier aircraft, an ever increasing proportion of staff effort, time and expenditure are being committed to maintenance works.
Railway Development
3.24 Plans for doubling the single main railway line between Kowloon and Sha Tin, leaving a single track through Beacon Hill Tunnel, were finalised. Planning for remodelling Mong Kok and Sha Tin Stations and for a branch railway line from Sha Tin Station to the proposed new race course at Ho Tung Lau, in addition to track widening between Sha Tin and Tai Po Market, continued.
Quarry Development
3.25
The forward planning of the Quarries Section of the Civil Engineering Office is directed to:
(a)
(b)
appraising the construction industry's needs for quarry products and building sand and planning the availability of resources to meet these demands;
planning the production of the Government quarries to meet the demands of the Civil Engineering and Highways Offices for aggregates and bitumen coated materials and improving their efficiency by the introduction of modern quarrying methods and machinery.
Electrical and Mechanical
3.26
Forward planning the Office has three basic timescales each corresponding with the type of service concerned. A good deal of the Office's work is contingent on the long term plans of others so that much planning is concerned with the provision of future services which are adequate, flexible and expeditious.
3.27
The shortest of these timescales is in connection with the compilation of schedules of preventive maintenance and planned overhauls of equipment. These must be kept under constant review in accordance with experience and the operational needs of client departments in order to optimise levels of equipment reliability and availability while preserving cost
