履行承諾 支援航管工作
去年，民航處於新總部大樓成立新的航空交通管制中心，以應付預期增長的航空交通流量，和未來第三條跑道的需要。為了提升操作效率，達至有效監測，我們將當值中心搬往民航處新總部，並將包括航空交通管制大樓（航管大樓）和備用航空交通管制大樓（備用大樓）在內的各重要場地的中央監察系統集中於當值中心內。
我們承諾為民航處的重要場地，例如航管大樓和備用大樓內的所有機電系統，提供全日24小時的操作和維修保養服務。在新當值中心工作，我們這個服務承諾受到考驗。
航管大樓和備用大樓跟民航處總部有數公里的距離，各大樓的中央監察系統有不同配置和軟件。我們透過民航處提供的地下光纖網絡，及採用虛擬技術來解決有關技術性問題，並於當值中心開始運作前，依時完成所須的系統集中工作。
現在，我們的核心團隊在民航處新總部大樓當值中心24小時輪班工作，監控集成的中央監察系統。與此同時，我們仍然在各個重要場地維持適量的維修隊伍，此舉不但提高我們的運作效率和優化人力配置，更可提供及時緊急維修和保養服務。
航空安全和無間斷服務實在有賴民航處各重要場地的暢順運作。而我們的任務就是為我們的客戶部門提供可靠的支援服務。
Fulfilling Call of Duty for
Critical Air Traffic Control Functions
Last year, a new Air Traffic Control (ATC) Centre was set up at the new Civil Aviation Department (CAD) Headquarters to cope with the anticipated air traffic increase and the third runway in the future. To maintain operation efficiency and effective monitoring, we centralised all Central Control Monitoring Systems (CCMSs) for respective critical venues including the Air Traffic Control Complex (ATCX) and the Backup Air Traffic Control Complex (BATCX) at one single duty office in the new CAD Headquarters.
Our commitment to providing round-the-clock operation and maintenance services to CAD for all their E&M systems in critical venues, like ATCX and BATCX, was challenged by the relocation of our duty office to the new CAD Headquarters.
The ATCX and BATCX are miles away from the new CAD Headquarters, and the CCMSs at these venues have different configurations and software. By utilising CAD’s underground fibre optic network to connect these complexes to our duty office and applying virtualisation technology to solve the relevant technical problems, we successfully completed the centralisation of all CCMSs, prior to the operation of our duty office at the new CAD Headquarters.
In addition to a core team monitoring the integrated CCMSs at the new duty office, we also maintain a suitable size of workforce at ATCX and BATCX. This arrangement enhances our operational efficiency and optimises manpower allocation while also ensuring timely response to emergency repair and maintenance.
Smooth operations of CAD critical venues are essential for aviation safety and uninterrupted services to the public. It is also our mission to provide reliable supportive services to our client departments.

這是我們首次與客戶一起取得的 PAS 55聯合認證；而香港國際機場亦是第一個獲頒發該項資產管理系統證書的亞洲區機場。
自2013年年中開始，我們與機管局緊密合作，共同制訂機場助航燈的資產管理系統和準備認證工作。我們與機管局的管理層及前線員工，一同參與團隊培訓班和簡報會，編制資產管理手冊，進行深入的風險評估及制定危機管理程序。
整個認證過程不單牢固了我們與客戶的夥伴合作關係，更實現我們為遊客和廣大市民提供優質、可靠服務的共同目標。
PAS 55 Certified Airfield Ground
Lighting System
Ever Improves Flight Safety
The Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) System is critical to flight safety and the airport operation. To ever improve the System’s reliability to enhance safety and maintenance efficiency, Airport Authority (AA) and EMSD successfully received the PAS 55 Asset Management System Certification for the AGL System after ten-month preparation work in June 2014.
This is the first joint PAS 55 Certificate we achieve together with client. Also, Hong Kong International Airport is the first Asian airport to be awarded with this asset management certificate on AGL system.
Ever since we started preparation for the certification in mid-2013, we worked closely with AA to develop the asset management system. We attended workshops and awareness briefings with AA’s management and frontline staff, prepared asset management guidelines, conducted in-depth risk assessment and developed crisis management procedures.
The whole certification process not simply strengthens our working partnership with the client, but also helps achieve our common goals of providing excellent and reliable services to our visitors and general public.
污水處理設施獲發ISO 55001認證
我們派駐渠務署的機電工程科同事，一直致力提供世界級的污水處理和雨水排放服務。為了更有效地運用資源從而適當地管理相關設施，他們以屯門河傍街及紅磡灣兩所污水泵房作先導計劃，率先推出資產管理系統，並於2013年11月獲得PAS 55認證。
一套新的資產管理標準 － ISO 55001在2014年1月推出。這套新標準建基於PAS 55，強調與各持份者的溝通，讓渠務署以具經濟效益和合乎環保的方式改善渠務服務的使命得到充分展現。因此，在2014年2月，我們派駐到渠務署的同事開始將 ISO 55001 資產管理標準推展到七所不同類型的污水處理廠以及上述先導計劃中的兩所污水泵房。在此過程中，他們訂定了一套相關的維修策略和目標，通過消除或盡可能降低風險，以提高各重要機電設備的可靠性及使用率，從而達至成本效益。
經過各方面的努力，渠務署機電工程科終於在今年5月28日成功獲得ISO 55001認證，是首批獲得該認證的香港政府部門之一。而這次認證亦為客戶部門的全面資產管理奠定基礎。
ISO 55001 Certification for
Sewage Treatment Facilities
Our E&M colleagues working in Drainage Services Department (DSD) are committed to providing world-class wastewater treatment and storm water drainage services. To manage the facilities more effectively with the best use of resources, they first launched the Asset Management System (AMS) in Ho Pong Street and Hung Hom Bay sewage pumping stations as pilot projects, which obtained the PAS 55 certification in November 2013.
In January 2014, a new asset management standard, ISO 55001, was introduced. On top of the PAS 55 requirements, the new standard emphasised interaction with stakeholders, and put in practice the DSD’s mission to improve drainage services in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner. Hence in February 2014, our staff seconded to DSD began to apply the ISO 55001 standard to the AMS of seven different sewage treatment works and the two sewage pumping stations in the pilot projects as mentioned. During the process, they established a set of maintenance strategies and objectives to enhance reliability and utilisation of critical E&M equipment in a cost effective manner by eliminating or reducing the risks.
With tremendous effort of all parties concerned, they received the ISO 55001 certification on 28 May 2014. This is one of the first ISO 55001 certificates among Hong Kong government departments. The certification is also paving the way for extending the AMS in our client department for total asset management in the next stage.

今次代表團由高級工程師/運輸、保安及中央工程部3李子傑先生帶領，他指出：「今次旅程成果豐碩！我們對南韓的交通燈保養情況，以及如何應用智能交通系統有更深入的認識和了解。」
雖然我們有不同的維修保養基準，但是次的技術交流，對我們安裝交通燈和維修保養，尤其在交通訊號維修服務取得ISO 55001認證上都大有裨益。該認證有助優化及提升設備效益和減少訊號故障對市民構成的影響。
Sharing Knowledge at ICEE Conference
EMSD is an active supporter of industry events and we strongly believe that our participation will benefit our staff through the exposure to the knowledge, experience and creative thinking of fellow industry practitioners as well as the most up-to-date scientific discoveries and innovative products.
In June, we sent a team responsible for the maintenance management of traffic signal systems to the International Conference on Electrical Engineering 2014 (ICEE 2014), which was held in Jeju, South Korea. They took an active part in the conference, sharing with other delegates an overview of the traffic signal systems in Hong Kong as well as their maintenance. During their stay, they also visited the Traffic Control Centres in Goyang City and Anyang City.
Team leader Mr Lee Che-kit, Senior Engineer/Transport, Security and Central Services 3 (TSCS3) noted, “It is a very fruitful trip. We have a better understanding of how South Korea maintains traffic lights and applies intelligent transport systems.”
Although we have a different benchmark for maintenance practices, our Korea trip has provided good reference for our own installation and maintenance of traffic signal systems, for which we have received ISO 55001 certification. The certification helps optimise traffic lights in order to enhance equipment availability and minimise disruption to the public.
持續環保新典範
機電工程署對推動能源效益及節能減碳一直不遺餘力。我們率先在九龍灣總部大樓建立 ISO 50001 這套新的能源管理系統，為環境的可持續發展發揮積極作用。
在六月和七月，我們參觀了香港科學園和環球貿易廣場，向他們深入了解取得ISO 50001 能源管理系統認證的過程和心得。兩者均是本港首批獲得此項認證的機構。
我們期望透過採納能源管理新標準，深入分析現時在使用可應用能源方面遇到的問題，並透過持續改善的方法，不斷地進行能源使用和管理計劃的調整，達到可持續發展的效果。
總部大樓計劃於今年底前進行ISO 50001認證，我們希望日後能將能源管理的經驗，與客戶和廣大市民分享，共建美好環境。
Taking the Lead in
Environmental Sustainability
As the organisation promoting energy efficiency and carbon reduction in Hong Kong, EMSD has adopted a proactive role in environmental sustainability by implementing ISO 50001, the new energy management system, at our Kowloon Bay Headquarters Building.
In June and July, we visited Hong Kong Science Park and International Commerce Centre (ICC) respectively to learn more about the certification process and their success tips, the two being the first local organisations to be ISO 50001-certified.
Application of this international standard will impact sustainable development as we need to analyse the problems we are facing in using the available energy sources and make continued improvement in our energy use and management procedures.
Our headquarters building is scheduled to be certified to ISO 50001 later this year. We hope to share our energy management experience with clients and the general public in future.
