首個試驗項目率先展開

自去年11月宣布機電署總部大樓用作機電初創企業的共享試驗場地後，在短短數月間，我們已選出具潛力的初創節能項目「智能風機盤管控制器」，並率先在總部大樓內採用。把研發項目轉化成為真正的產品，將有助初創企業發展，同時亦向客戶和業界展示節能環保的新機會，達到雙贏的效果。

傳統冷氣機風機盤管的電動馬達以「高」、「中」和「低」三種速度推動風扇運行。「智能風機盤管控制器」是一個節能裝置，透過調節電壓，控制風機馬達的速度，能降低中央冷氣機內風機的用電量，為總部大樓節約能源之餘，還可延長風機馬達的壽命。

目前，我們正進行試行，並且持續進行現場勘測和安裝，目標是在大樓內多個場地安裝該節能控制器，預計整項工程在年中完成。我們將持續監察控制器的運行，收集和對比數據，以確定節能成效。

First Pilot Project Kicks Off

Last November, we announced the use of the EMSD Headquarters Building as a common testing ground for E&M start-ups. In the subsequent few months, a potential energy saving start-up project, Fan Coil Unit Energy Saver, has been selected and being deployed in our headquarters building. Converting research projects into real-life products not only helps the development of start-ups, but also demonstrates new opportunities for energy saving and environmental protection to our clients and the trade, achieving a win-win outcome.

In a conventional fan coil unit, the electric motor operates in three discrete speed settings: high, medium, and low. The Fan Coil Unit Energy Saver is an energy saving device. By varying the voltage to control the fan motor speed, the overall electricity consumption of the fan motor in a central air-conditioning system can be reduced. Besides saving energy for the headquarters building, the device also extends the life of the fan motor.

Currently, we are conducting trial tests, on-going site surveys and installations. Our goal is to install this energy saving device at multiple locations within the building. The entire project is expected to be completed in the middle of the year. We will continue to monitor the operation, collect and compare data to evaluate its effectiveness.

開拓節能新領域

機電署不但支持初創企業的創新科技項目發展，而且積極為客戶部門研究和尋求創新技術。為鼓勵客戶部門開拓能源效益和節能減排的新領域，機電署提出了新意念，設計和研製行人天橋「智能調光照明控制系統」，為客戶及市民提供安全可靠、環保及合乎成本效益的公共照明系統。

我們研發的行人天橋「智能調光照明控制系統」採用自動調光，當運動傳感器探測到行人接近時，發光二極管燈具會自動調節至符合《公共照明設施設計手冊》的亮度標準。這個智能省電設計系統靈活、富彈性，在行人不易察覺的情況下，既可符合設計標準，又可根據個別天橋的行人流量而設計不同智能調光的操作模式，例如改變燈的光暗度和時間長短，以照顧市民的實際需要，達到節能效果。

首個試驗項目在人流相對較低的彩虹斧山道橫跨龍翔道行人天橋展開，在應用新的「智能調光照明控制系統」和採用發光二極管燈具後，用電量較以往節省高達50%。由於節能效果理想，我們已經在元朗、彩虹、葵涌、太古城及銅鑼灣等地區的行人天橋安裝這個系統，並相繼投入服務。展望未來，我們會繼續物色合適的行人天橋供安裝「智能調光照明控制系統」，並持續監測以優化系統設計。

如客戶對「智能風機盤管控制器」和「智能調光照明控制系統」感興趣，
歡迎致電3757 6134與我們的高級工程師鄧偉豪先生聯絡。

Explore New Frontiers for Energy Saving

The EMSD not only supports the development of I&T projects by start-ups, but also proactively conducts studies and searches for new technologies for our client departments. To encourage clients explore new frontiers for energy efficiency, energy saving and emission reduction, EMSD introduced a new concept in designing and manufacturing a Smart Footbridge Lighting Dimming Control System. It provides safe, reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective public lighting, benefiting both our clients and the public.

The Smart Footbridge Lighting Dimming Control System will automatically adjust the lighting level. When the motion sensor detects a pedestrian passing nearby, the LED light will be adjusted automatically to meet the lighting level specified in the Public Lighting Design Manual. This Smart Footbridge Lighting Dimming Control System is flexible and easily configurable. Without making noticeable difference to pedestrians, the system allows further design of different lighting modes, for example, by varying the lighting brightness and duration to suit different pedestrian flows of individual footbridge while meeting the lighting standards. It takes care of the practical needs of the public and saves energy.

The first pilot project was launched at the footbridge at Hammer Hill Road, Choi Hung, across Lung Cheung Road. The pedestrian flow there is relatively low. After application of the new Smart Footbridge Lighting Dimming Control System and LED lamps, the saving on electricity consumption was up to 50%. In view of the satisfactory result, we have started installing this system at footbridges in Yuen Long, Choi Hung, Kwai Chung, Taikoo Shing and Causeway Bay. Looking forward, we will continue to identify suitable footbridges for installation of the system, and to monitor its performance with a view to optimising the system design.

If clients are interested in the Fan Coil Unit Energy Saver and Smart Footbridge Lighting Dimming Control System, please contact Mr. Tang Wai-ho, Ronald, Senior Engineer, at 3757 6134.

引入全港首輛五軸重型拖車

機電署一直緊貼時代步伐。我們率先為運輸署引入全港首輛五軸重型拖車，以提升在政府日後落成的新隧道(例如位於港珠澳大橋香港連接路的觀景山隧道)、現行青馬管制區內不同大橋和其他現有隧道進行重型車輛救援的能力，加快移走因交通意外而阻塞路面的重型車輛。首批七輛五軸重型拖車已順利驗收並交付客戶。

全新五軸重型拖車的外殼主要選用較輕的鋁合金物料製造，車輛除採用歐盟六型環保引擎外，亦新增提供額外負載能力的第五軸，令車輛的總負載重量達46公噸，能掛載8公噸軸重及拖行重達70公噸的重型壞車，例如貨櫃車、吊臂車和重型特別用途車輛等。為配合香港各大橋和隧道的實際環境，拖車的第一、第二和第五軸採用同時動力轉向設計，令車輛在狹窄的地方操作時能夠保持靈活性。此外，集吊重和拖車功能於一身的設計，可協助迅速清理道路和拖走壞車，令交通恢復正常運作。

在緊急救援中靈活調配車隊可以發揮關鍵作用，因此，我們為運輸署設計新型救援拖車時，已將小型、中型和重型拖車標準化，讓各大橋、管制區及隧道在有限空間運作有關車輛時有更大靈活性，而此舉亦有助運輸署及不同地區的營辦商在使用時更容易掌握和適應政府拖車的特性。我們將積極向運輸業界推廣這個新的拖車設計概念，讓公私營車隊能一起提升車輛救援效率，縮短交通事故所需的救援時間，便利市民。

Hong Kong’s First Five-axle Heavy Recovery Vehicle

The EMSD always keeps pace with the times. We have taken the lead in introducing the first five-axle heavy recovery vehicle in Hong Kong for the Transport Department (TD) to strengthen the heavy vehicle recovery capability in future new government tunnels (e.g. the Scenic Hill Tunnel along the Hong Kong Link Road of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge), the existing bridges in Tsing Ma Control Area and other existing tunnels with a view to expediting the removal of heavy vehicles obstructing road traffic due to traffic accidents. The first batch of seven five-axle heavy recovery vehicles has successfully been accepted and handed over to the clients.

The body of the new five-axle heavy recovery vehicle is mainly made of light weight aluminum alloy. Equipped with the Euro VI environmentally friendly engine, the vehicle also has a new fifth axle providing it with extra loading capacity and bringing the total loading weight to 46 tonnes. This allows the vehicle to carry out suspended towing or direct towing for a broken-down heavy vehicle, such as container truck, crane truck and heavy special purpose vehicle, with a single axle weight up to eight tonnes or total vehicle weight up to 70 tonnes. To tie in with the actual environment of major bridges and tunnels in Hong Kong, the first, second and fifth axles are power-steered simultaneously, enabling the vehicle to manoeuvre in narrow spaces dexterously. Besides, the design of combining recovery and lifting functions can help quickly clear up the road and tow away the broken-down vehicles for resumption of normal traffic.

Flexible deployment of vehicle fleets plays a critical role in case of emergency recovery. Therefore, in designing heavy recovery vehicles for TD, EMSD has standardised the specifications for light, medium and heavy recovery vehicles, so that they can be operated with greater flexibility under different space constraints for bridges, control areas and tunnels. This also helps users of TD and various regional operators grasp and adapt to the characteristics of government recovery vehicles more easily. We will actively promote this new recovery vehicle design in the transportation industry so that both public and private fleets can work together to enhance the efficiency of vehicle recovery and to shorten the recovery time required for incident handling, thus bringing convenience to the public.

機電業博覽2018吸納生力軍

隨着創新科技迅速發展、嶄新技術廣泛應用，機電業的工作範疇日趨多元化，加上未來將持續進行多項大型基建工程，機電業的發展潛力巨大，正是年青一代投身這個行業的最佳時機。

為推動香港機電業發展，機電工程署聯同香港機電業推廣工作小組於2月1日至4日在教育及職業博覽中舉辦機電業博覽2018，並在2月2日的「機電工程日」舉行「機電工程新力量」系列講座，邀請業界代表介紹機電業最新的培訓、職業發展前景和晉升機會，為行業吸納新血。

機電工程署署長薛永恒先生在講座開幕禮致辭時表示，政府提出大力發展創新科技，加上國家的「一帶一路」和「粵港澳大灣區」建設，香港的大型基建工程將日益蓬勃。他鼓勵有志的年青人加入機電行業，共同構建香港的未來。

在博覽會現場，我們利用不同的應用程式設計遊戲，包括本署成功研發的「建築信息模擬—資產管理」系統，讓參加者體驗科技如何協助維修保養醫院的中央空調系統。我們又透過機電常識問答遊戲，讓參加者獲取印有其肖像的機電飛虎隊隊員證，藉此提升他們對投身機電業的興趣和使命感。此外，展覽攤位吸引不少學生、家長及其他公眾人士參觀，他們踴躍查詢投身機電業的途徑。

香港機電業推廣工作小組由本署與業界18個機構、工會及商會組成，致力促進機電業的可持續發展。



“E&M Gear Up!” at Electrical and Mechanical
Trades Expo 2018

With the rapid development of innovation and technology as well as extensive use of novel technologies, the scope of work in the E&M industry has become increasingly diversified. Meanwhile, a number of major infrastructure projects will continue to proceed in the coming years, showing huge potential for the development of the E&M industry. It is now the best time for young people to join the industry.

To promote the development of the E&M industry in Hong Kong, EMSD and the Hong Kong E&M Trade Promotion Working Group jointly hosted the E&M Trades Expo 2018 at the Education & Careers Expo between 1 and 4 February. A seminar series entitled “E&M Gear Up!” was also held on the E&M Day on 2 February. Representatives of the industry were invited to introduce the latest information on training, career prospects and promotion pathways of the E&M trade, with a view to attracting new talents to the industry.

Addressing the opening ceremony, the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr. Sit Wing-hang, said that the Government was committed to the development of innovation and technology. With the country’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area Development, there would be an increasing number of major infrastructure projects in Hong Kong. He encouraged aspiring young people to join the E&M industry to build the future of Hong Kong together.

At the Expo, we designed games with different applications, including the Building Information Modelling – Asset Management (BIM-AM) system that we developed, to enable audience experience how technology could help maintain the central air-conditioning system at a hospital. We also conducted E&M quizzes and awarded every participant an E&M A-Team membership card with his/her portrait printed on it. Through these activities, we hoped to arouse young people’s interest in joining the industry and their sense of commitment. Moreover, the exhibition booth attracted a large number of students, parents and other members of the public who were eager to obtain information about ways of joining the industry.

The Hong Kong E&M Trade Promotion Working Group, formed by EMSD and 18 trade organisations, unions and associations, is committed to promoting the sustainable development of the E&M industry.

用心服務 同心共創 跨越70載

機電工程署與香港一起成長，邁步向前，至今70載。二次大戰後，香港百廢待興，當時政府基礎設施的維修工程由工務局負責，及至1948年，工務局轄下的機械處、電氣處和運輸處合併成為機電處，也就是機電工程署的前身。我們的工作範圍，包括為政府部門及公營機構提供機電工程服務，以及執行安全條例和規管工作。在1982年架構重組後，機電處正式成為今日的機電工程署。

今年是機電工程署成立70周年。我們會繼續努力，用心服務，精益求精，並以新思維、新科技，持續優化機電工程服務，與客戶和業界為市民同心共創，致力推動香港成為一個低碳智慧城市。早前，我們舉辦了70周年標誌及標語選舉、紀念影片拍攝及機電嘉年華，未來將陸續推出一連串慶祝活動，包括「尋根之旅」活動、機電青少年大使周年大會、機電青少年大使工作影子日、70周年紀念典禮暨顧客服務中心開幕、機電科技研討會等等，誠邀大家一起參與。



Caring, Serving and Co-creating for 70 Years and Beyond

The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) has grown and moved forward with Hong Kong for 70 years. In the aftermath of World War II, Hong Kong had to be rebuilt from ruins. At the time, the Public Works Department was responsible for the maintenance works of the Government’s infrastructure. In 1948, the Mechanical, Electrical, and Transport Offices under the Public Works Department merged to form the Electrical and Mechanical Office (EMO), the predecessor of EMSD. Work of the EMO covered engineering services for government departments and public organisations, safety monitoring of the E&M facilities through law enforcement and regulatory services. After the organisation restructuring in 1982, the EMO officially became today’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of EMSD. We will continue to serve from the heart and strive for excellence, optimising our E&M engineering services with new thinking and new technologies. We will work together with our clients and the trade to create and promote Hong Kong as a low-carbon smart city. Earlier on, the 70th anniversary logo and slogan selection, commemorative video production, and E&M Carnival were organised to kick-start our celebration for the anniversary. Very soon, we will launch a series of celebration activities, including the Root-seeking Journey, E&M Young Ambassadors annual meeting, E&M Young Ambassadors Job Shadow Day, the 70th Anniversary Ceremony cum Opening of Customer Service Centre, EMSD Symposium, etc. You are cordially invited to join us.
