| Project | Chuk Yuen Housing Estate Water Supply Infrastructure |
| Description | This is a project to build the seawater booster pumping station and water supply infrastructure for Chuk Yuen Upper Estate. Initially, the Hong Kong Housing Authority engaged a British consultant for this specialist work; but rejected their design (which used large constant pressure tanks and pumps) as unsuitable for this huge estate. M&P‘s design was accepted; and it offered high capacity, energy efficiency and ease of maintenance. The project was successfully completed in 1988, and the system is still in operation. |
| Highlight |
Variable Speed Pumping System Chuk Yuen Housing Estate was located at an elevated location, and so a seawater booster pumping station and supply infrastructure was required. M&P designed a system which was based on a combination of conventional and variable speed pumps. In the early 1980′s, variable speed pump technology was still not common in Hong Kong; but M&P successfully applied this technology for the project. 25 years later, this water supply booster system is still amongst the most energy efficient in Hong Kong. |
