Service Highlights
The EMSD provided professional advice during the construction of Community Isolation Facilities
(CIFs) and promptly offered operation and maintenance (O&M) services for electrical and
mechanical (E&M) equipment in the CIFs, to ensure that they would be put into operation
immediately. Pictures show the CIF in Tsing Yi.
The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal was converted into a Community Isolation Facility in February 2022.
We provided technical support for the venue setup, including laying cables and installing bedside
light switches, adding electric water heaters and providing E&M equipment for new toilet and
shower cubicles.
During the fifth wave of the epidemic, there was an enormous demand for body storage
facilities. The EMSD worked with other government departments to accelerate the completion
of phase one works of the Fu Shan Public Mortuary (FSPM) reprovisioning project (left) and
assisted in the installation of temporary body storage facilities (right) at the FSPM to provide
additional body storage spaces.
To cope with the sudden surge in demand for cremation services amid the fifth wave of the
epidemic, we expedited the testing and commissioning of two new cremators at the Wo Hop
Shek Crematorium to ensure that they can commence services in early 2022.
To ensure proper indoor ventilation at government schools, we carried out inspection and
maintenance of their air-conditioning and ventilation systems to safeguard the health of
students and school staff. Pictures show our technical staff conducting ventilation assessments
at Kowloon Tong Government Primary School.
During the epidemic, the EMSD staff inspected the ventilation systems of hotels under the Designated Quarantine Hotel Scheme to ensure good ventilation in the hotel areas and reduce the risk of virus transmission.
To facilitate the launch of the Home Vaccination Service, we rapidly refitted two medium vans
into supporting vehicles for the service. We also installed on-board power supply systems and
tested their operation. Despite encountering technical difficulties, our team overcame the issues
within a short time frame and ensured the stability of the power supply systems, demonstrating
the professionalism of our team.
A new touchless lift button technology has been adopted at the EMSD Headquarters. The
application of built-in laser sensors with a narrow divergence angle can reduce interference with
other nearby output beams and achieve better precision. With the advantage of low power
consumption, the device's lifespan can be extended.
During the fifth wave of the epidemic, we provided emergency repair services for the mobile
nucleic acid testing vehicle from the Central Government. The model of the testing vehicle was
unfamiliar, but our team was able to identify the defect and repair it quickly, so that the vehicle
could resume normal services shortly.
We hosted webinars and provided information and technology support to both internal and
external clients during the year. One of the examples is the second Green I&T Day held in
October 2021. During the event, the webinar was broadcast live in Hong Kong and the Dongguan
venues, facilitating interactions and sharing of long-term green innovation and technology (I&T)
solutions among participants.
During the severe epidemic, we installed heater lamps at temporary tents outside the Queen
Elizabeth Hospital, bringing warmth and comfort to patients pending admission to the hospital
under cold weather.
