The Project Division
administers many major projects, achieving steady progress and
marking a number of major milestones in
the past year. It has been another year of revenue growth for
the division.
The division is acting as overall project consultant for a large
scale X-ray container truck inspection system at Lok Ma Chau,
capable of inspecting 12 vehicles per hour. Final design and
the manufacturing of the system are now underway and the project
is scheduled to be completed by 2002. The division is also the
project consultant for a mobile X-ray Vehicle Inspection System
which has been in operation since mid 2001. The mobile system,
a vehicle with a highly sophisticated X-ray generator and detector,
coupled with intelligent image processing circuitry and a precision
movement mechanism, will significantly enhance Customs &
Excise operations at Hong Kong's control points.
During the year, the Project Division was awarded the contract
for the replacement of the Vessel Traffic Services System, closely
supervising the performance of the Contract on behalf of the
Marine Department. Provisions for the Control Room under the

are scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2001, while the entire
System with the radar replacements and other new outstation equipment
will be completed around the end of 2002. The replacement system will
enhance not only operational efficiencies in the monitoring and control
of harbour marine traffic, but also incorporate the latest technological
provisions such as an Automatic Identification System (AIS), aligning
HongKong's systems with the latest requirements of the International
Maritime Organisation and the International Telecommunications Union.

During the year, the
Transport Department enlisted the division to supervise its
trial on the adoption of Octopus cards for roadside parking
applications. This has involved the performance evaluation of
eight different electronic parking meter models supplied by
five manufacturers, covering 200 parking spaces at four sites
in Hong Kong and Kowloon. The supervision of vehicle tunnel
refurbishment projects has also been a major area of divisional
activity for the Transport Department. In the past year, we
saw the successful commissioning of the replacement Traffic
Control and Surveillance System for the Airport Tunnel. The
replacement system uses advanced video image processing techniques
for its
incident detection sub-system and a new pollutant detecting
system to meet the latest standards issued by the Environmental
Protection Department. The division has also commenced design
work for the
replacement Traffic Control and Surveillance System for the
Aberdeen Tunnel Improvement work in existing road tunnels is
expected to take on increasing importance in the next few years.
To improve ventilation at existing public transport interchanges(PTIs),
the division has completed ventilation improvement contracts
for five PTIs in the past year and will tender for similar work
at another six PTIs in 2001/02.
Following the success of its activities for the "Multi-media
Learning Centres" in the past two years under the "IT
in Education" initiative, the Quality Education Fund has
arranged funds and enlisted the division to fit out IT rooms
for a further 300 schools in Hong Kong, with full-scale commissioning
targeted for 2002. This has now become an on-going |
service and the division is proud of its role
in bringing IT acilities to tens of thousands of students in
Hong Kong.
The next year is likely to be a further year of steady business
growth. Backed by its focus on quality, responsive services
and deliverables, and the solid experience of its professionals,
the division can expect to continue its growth to serve a wide
range of Government departments. |
