We are responsible for overall project services, including design, preparation of the specifications, tendering, testing and commissioning until project completion in 2016/17. When it comes to managing such a large-scale project, special VTS knowledge and deep understanding of the existing HKVTS System are essential to ensure that Hong Kong will continue to maintain an uninterrupted VTS during the replacement works. EMSD has extensive prior experience in the HKVTS System and is well positioned to take on this project. Our team of senior electronics engineer and electronics engineers supported MD in the implementation of the HKVTS System since 1986 and completed a 12-month consultancy study on system enhancement during 2011/12. In design, with experience drawn from other leading ports worldwide, the features and functions of the new HKVTS System will be customised to suit Hong Kong’s unique operating environment. MD and EMSD signed the Service Level Agreement (SLA) on 19 November, 2012, when the client also presented us with a letter of appreciation for our consultancy study. We are delighted to continue to provide professional and technical support to MD. The strong partnership with MD, established over many years, will no doubt add value to our work and contribute to the success of the project. 添馬各幢新大樓的重要系統裝置包括先進精密的高壓和低壓配電系統、製冷量超過7,000千瓦特的中央製冷機組、自動廢物收集系統、升降機和自動梯系統、電子投票系統、即時傳譯系統、電視製作系統、視像幕牆及會議系統。這些系統對立法會議事程序的進行和政府總部的運作，特別是立法會會議廳和政府總部會議廳和演講廳所舉行的會議和活動，發揮十分重要的作用。部分系統，例如自動廢物收集系統，更是首次在香港的政府辦公大樓採用，為操作和維修保養工作帶來種種技術挑戰。 立法會綜合大樓和政府總部備受市民關注，各項系統例如供電、空調、照明、投票、電視製作及視像顯示系統等必須穩妥可靠，這是確保現代化立法機關能以高效和具透明度方式運作的關鍵條件。遇有重大或具爭議性的事件時，立法會綜合大樓和政府總部可能會日以繼夜不停運作，各項系統都必須24小時不停運作無誤。 我們的團隊深明責任重大，為確保能適時和專業地展開各項操作和維修保養服務，我們在2011年成立駐場專責團隊，協助各客戶部門進行系統測試和驗收工作，為日後持續提供具效率的操作和維修保養服務奠下基礎。 展望將來，我們的團隊會繼續致力為添馬各大樓提供優質可靠的機電操作和維修保養服務，以滿足在該處工作的人員、到訪人士及廣大香港市民的需要和期望。 Team Supports Key systems at the new Tamar complex include a sophisticated High Voltage and Low Voltage power distribution system, a central chiller plant with capacity over 7,000 kW, an automatic refuse collection system, a lift and escalator system, an electronic voting system, a simultaneous interpretation system, a TV production system and a video wall and conference system. These systems play an essential role in facilitating LCC proceedings and CGO business, in particular for meetings and activities in the Council Chamber and the CGO conference hall and auditorium. Some systems, such as the automatic refuse collection system, are also the first of its kind to be deployed at a government office building in Hong Kong, posing technical challenges in operation and maintenance work. The LCC and CGO are highly visible in Hong Kong’s public life. The requirements for reliable systems such as those for power and air-conditioning supply, lighting, voting, TV production and video display are vital tools to ensure the efficiency and transparency of a modern legislature. When major or controversial issues arise, both venues may operate round the clock, demanding the unfailing performance of the systems. Our team is aware of the great responsibilities vested in them. To ensure that operation and maintenance services could commence in a timely and professional manner, we put together a specialist onsite team in 2011 to assist the various client departments in testing and commissioning their systems. This effort paved the way for our continuing provision of effective operation and maintenance services to Tamar in the long run. Looking ahead, our dedicated team will continue strive to provide reliable and quality services to meet the needs and expectations of all those who work in and visit the Tamar complex and the wider Hong Kong public. 繼2012年3月羸得機管局的空氣調節系統維修合約，本署的機場團隊最近再度獲機管局批出三項重要的機場基礎設施維修合約：包括跑道燈系統、行李處理系統和污水處理廠。這批合約在2012年年底生效，總值約港幣1.9億元。 獲得這幾項重大維修合約，再次確認了我們機場工程分部團隊的優質和可靠服務，更突顯我們的價格在競爭激烈的市場上極具競爭力。 合約簽署儀式已於2012年12月中旬舉行，出席者包括機管局的高級管理層。它標誌着機管局與機電工程署長期伙伴關係踏進一個新里程，我們將繼續秉承「以客為本」和「優質服務」的精神，為香港市民和訪港旅客提供無可比擬的機場體驗。 Major Airport Contract Wins - Further to winning air-conditioning system maintenance contracts from AA in March 2012, our airport team has now secured three more AA maintenance contracts for critical airport infrastructure: airfield ground lighting, baggage handling system and wastewater treatment plant. Commencing in late 2012, these contracts have a total value of about HK$190 million. The contract signing ceremony, well attended by senior AA managers, was held in mid-December 2012. It marked another milestone in the long-standing partnership between AA and EMSD. We shall continue to deliver customer-oriented and high-quality services for the public and visitors to Hong Kong, giving them an unparalleled airport experience. 工程完成後，駕車人士即使在隧道內，也可透過先進的數碼聲音廣播系統享用無間斷的電台廣播服務。這套轉播系統並具備話音插播功能，可在出現緊急情況時，於數碼廣播節目中插播須向駕車人士發布的實時交通及安全資訊。 本署的工程策劃團隊已完成項目的第一期工程，4條交通流量最高的隧道，即將軍澳隧道、獅子山隧道、香港仔隧道和海底隧道均已安裝數碼聲音廣播系統。第一期工程於2012年1月展開，並提前於2012年12月完成。第二期工程涵蓋餘下的7條隧道，包括城門隧道、啟德隧道、長青隧道、大圍隧道、沙田嶺隧道、尖山隧道和南灣隧道，將於2014年2月完成。 與模擬廣播相比，數碼聲音廣播音質更佳，接收更穩定，除可提供更多節目頻道外，亦可傳送附帶資料和圖像。 Once completed, the pioneering DAB systems will provide seamless radio services to motorists inside tunnels and allow voice break-in messages to be broadcast through DAB programme channels in emergency cases when real-time traffic and safety information needs to be conveyed. Our project team has already successfully completed Phase I of the project, in which DAB systems were installed at the four tunnels with the highest traffic volume, namely Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, Lion Rock Tunnel, Aberdeen Tunnel and Cross Harbour Tunnel. Phase I of the project began in January 2012 and was completed in December 2012, ahead of schedule. Phase II, which covers the remaining seven tunnels, including Shing Mun Tunnels, Kai Tak Tunnel, Cheung Tsing Tunnel, Tai Wai Tunnel, Sha Tin Heights Tunnel, Eagle’s Nest Tunnel and Nam Wan Tunnel, will also be completed in February 2014. Compared with analogue radio services, DAB services offer better sound quality, more stable reception, more programme channels and the capacity to transmit ancillary data and images. 疫症爆發期間，機電工程署與各大醫院攜手合作，維持緊密的伙伴關係，共同對抗「沙士」。我們有三位同事在醫院工作時不幸染病，在同事及上司的支持與鼓勵下，他們走出陰霾，經治療後已返回工作崗位。對於他們當時所作的貢獻，我們深表感謝。 在那段艱難的抗疫時期，我們在眾多任務中，最重要的就是提升醫院管理局（醫管局）的防護設施。我們的團隊無懼感染「沙士」的危險，士氣高昂，勇敢向前。駐院員工勤奮地工作，用心加強醫院病房的通風設施；而且，我們替醫院內的「沙士」病房安裝負氣壓系統，防止病毒擴散，污染空氣，此舉不僅保障了市民大眾的健康，還為醫院內每位緊守崗位的醫護人員加強保護。在「沙士」爆發初期，這些防護措施大部分都在短短的一個半月內完成。 此外，機電工程署還為邊境檢查站採購和安裝了體温探測儀；蒐集空氣樣本，協助調查疫症在淘大花園及高威閣爆發的原因；又加強檢查和清洗客戶場地的供暖、通風和空調系統，以及政府車輛，包括救護車的冷氣喉管。 雖然「沙士」已遠去十年，我們仍時刻保持警覺。在2007年啟用、位於瑪嘉烈醫院的全港首間傳染病中心，我們一直受醫管局委託，為該中心負責操作和維修保養工作。當人類豬型流感於2009年6月襲港時，我們亦協助醫管局在指定流感診所加裝通風設施，檢查空氣淨化器，為醫管局轄下各家大醫院校正紅外線溫度計，並提供其他備用的緊急應變支援。 During the outbreak, EMSD worked hand in hand with hospitals as close partners to combat SARS. Three of our colleagues unfortunately contracted SARS while working in hospitals. With the encouragement and support from colleagues and their supervisors, they rode out the storm and returned to their duties after medical treatment. We had deep appreciation to their contributions during the time. Among the many tasks we undertook during that difficult time, the most significant involved upgrading Hospital Authority (HA) facilities. Undaunted by the risk of SARS infection, our team kept their morale high. Our resident staff worked diligently to enhance ward ventilation facilities in hospitals. At the same time, we also implemented negative pressure systems in SARS wards at hospitals to prevent the SARS virus from contaminating the air, protecting not only the general public but also the dedicated hospital healthcare staff. All these were completed within a short period of one and a half months during the early stage of the SARS outbreak. EMSD also procured and installed infrared thermal detectors at border control points; collected air samples to aid the investigation of the outbreaks at Amoy Gardens and Koway Court; and stepped up the inspection and cleaning of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems at client venues and of air-conditioning pipes in government vehicles, including ambulances. Though SARS is now behind us, we continue to be vigilant. We were entrusted by HA to operate and maintain Hong Kong’s first Infectious Disease Centre, which opened in the Princess Margaret Hospital in 2007. When the human swine flu pandemic hit Hong Kong in June 2009, we assisted HA in ventilating its designated flu clinics and checking air purifiers, calibrating the infrared thermometers used at major hospitals as well as providing other stand-by contingency support. Ten years ago our colleagues demonstrated the spirit of service with great courage and dedication. This spirit has lived on. Drawing on our valuable experience, we are now even better prepared to take on new challenges. 香港警察總部大樓有超過3,000部盤管風機，這些風機所裝設的電動機達4,000多個。逐一就每個電動機重複進行速度測試，不但冗長費時，更有潛在危險，但有關測試工作卻是進行預防性保養及緊急維修時必不可少的。 就此，我們的空氣調節督察率領員工，建議簡化測試程序。同事利用循環再造的工場物料研製了一部檢測裝置，讓工作人員只需進行一個程序，即可對電動機的不同段速作出測試。新的檢測裝置把每個電動機總共所需的測試時間，由15分鐘縮減至5分鐘，大大節省時間和員工開支。檢測裝置的成本不高，簡化後的工序亦更為安全。 在另一份得獎建議書中，由高級督察帶領的一組同事，提出一個既簡單又經濟的方法，確保瑪嘉烈醫院一個重要系統能時刻保持有效運作。瑪嘉烈醫院透過氣動輸送系統，把病人的血液樣本、藥物和文件等傳送至整座醫院內的8個工作區域及超過65個站台。這個重要系統每日24小時不停運作，由於使用次數頻密，系統站台的底盤容易鬆脫，造成漏氣及外門移位的現象。 有見及此，本署員工提出一個既簡單又經濟的解決問題方案。有關小組研究出一個方法，以長度和粗幼適中的不銹鋼絲桿固定及支撐底盤。這個改善方案簡單有效，即使系統正在操作也可進行，不會影響醫院的正常運作，同時亦無須更換昂貴的系統站台。這項措施深受醫院員工讚賞。 The Hong Kong Police Force headquarters building has more than 3,000 fan coil units containing some 4,000 fan motors. Repeated speed testing of each fan motor is tedious, time-consuming and potentially dangerous, but is necessary as part of preventive maintenance and emergency repairs. Staff led by air-conditioning inspector suggested simplifying the testing procedure. Our colleagues devised a tester, built from recycled workshop materials, to evaluate different fan motor speeds via a single procedure. This new tester reduces total testing time from 15 minutes to 5 minutes per fan motor, saving substantial time and staff cost. The tester is inexpensive to make and the simplified procedure is also much safer. In the second winning proposal, a team of colleagues led by senior inspector developed a simple and cost-effective way to ensure effective operation of an essential system in a hospital. Princess Margaret Hospital uses a pneumatic tube transport system to deliver patient blood samples, medicines and documents, etc. to eight working zones and more than 65 workstations throughout the hospital complex. This essential system operates non-stop 24 hours a day. Frequent usage has caused the system’s workstation-mounted chassis to loosen easily and also led to air leakage and the dislocation of some workstation gates. Staff proposed a simple and cost-effective solution to this problem. The team developed a way to use stainless steel rods of suitable length and thickness to fix and support the chassis. This simple but effective upgrade can even be carried out while the system is operating, avoiding disruption to normal hospital operations and the need to replace the costly workstations. It is highly appreciated by hospital staff. 本署參展攤位展示了香港邊境採用的先進保安和進出管制技術。我們透過一套結合震動感應電纜、熱能影像系統、閉路電視技術的模擬邊界圍網保安裝置，讓參觀者透過互動模擬系統，了解這套系統如何偵測和辨識入侵者。攤位內亦設置了一些採用影像分析和生物辨識技術的先進進出管制設備，例如指紋和臉部辨識系統，讓市民親身體驗。我們的團隊積極向市民講解及示範，並提供關於邊界保安技術原理和應用的資訊。 The EMSD booth showcased the application of up-to-date technologies for security and access control at Hong Kong border.
