Three air quality monitoring stations were set up in the Castle Peak area to record the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide before and after the commissioning of the desalting plant.
11.92 A programme was in hand for sampling and analysing sea water in the vicinity of the outfall at Lok On Pai with a view to determining the extent of changes, if any, in sea water quality before and after the commencement of operation.
11.93 Periodic meetings were held with the main plant contractor on matters concerning performance guarantees of the plant during the acceptance tests. As a result, certain basic operating parameters have been established.
11.94
Monthly progress reports, quarterly estimates of loan withdrawals and certificates of estimated percentage completion continued to be furnished to the Asian Development Bank in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
Possible Future Large Scale Desalting Plant
11.95 Proposals to meet the territory's long term water needs by the construction of a further desalting plant continued under review with particular reference to the size and type of plant, type of fuel (fossil or nuclear) and suitable location. In this connection, the possible effects of aerial discharge from a desalting plant sited at Junk Bay, either on its own or jointly with power production and/or refuse incineration, were investigated by consulting engineers. Similar investigations for sites at High Island and Castle Peak (Lung Kwu Tan) were also in hand.
STAFF OF THE CHIEF RESIDENT ENGINEER/LOK ON PAI
(OR CHIEF ENGINEER/SPECIAL DUTIES)
11.96 The Chief Resident Engineer's staff were responsible for all site matters in connection with the construction of the plant at Lok On Pai.
11.97 During the past 12 months, the emphasis of work at the desalting plant site gradually shifted from civil engineering to mechanical and electrical installation as major items of plant were erected, commissioned and operated. The site organisation was therefore changed in September 1974 to reflect this change of emphasis. The post of Chief Resident Engineer/Lok On Pai ceased to exist and was replaced by the post of Chief Engineer/Special Duties. He retains responsibility for all civil engineering works, including the evaluation of variation orders and claims, and the settling of final accounts. Concurrently the Superintending Engineer/Lok On Pai assumed responsibility for all plant contracts.
11.98 Good progress was made on site and the majority of the civil work was completed. This included the construction of the evaporator and boiler foundations, the auxiliary plant building, the chemical house, the intake screen building, the intake and outfall culverts and the outfall pipelines. The reinforced concrete structure of the second of the 400 feet high chimneys was finished, whilst the internal brick flues and insulation work for the first chimney were completed. Construction of the flues for the second chimney was delayed due to late delivery of bricks.
