機電署於2 0 1 8 年年底受醫院管理局(醫管局)委託，為重開早年關閉的深灣洗衣房而須進行的翻新及改善工程，提供技術支援，使這個每年可清洗超過900萬件衣物的洗衣房於2019年第三季重新投入服務，適時應付醫院因2019冠狀病毒病疫情而增加的洗衣服務需求。
我們協助醫管局更換洗衣房的水管、蒸氣管道和有關設備，整項工程僅花六個月時間完成，以配合隨後一系列的試行運作測試。由於舊有的蒸氣管道老化，部分管道出現滲漏情況， 需要更換；此外，有部分舊有管道位於新的洗衣設備上方，也增加了更換工程的難度及複雜性， 因為我們須配合管道內石棉的拆除工程及臨時存放安排。最後，我們克服了重重困難，如期完成有關工程，獲得客戶讚賞。同時， 我們亦為蒸氣鍋爐安裝了新的傳感器，以監察鍋爐運作時的排放情況。
此外， 我們為採購洗衣設備提供技術支援，包括參與標書評審工作和協助驗收洗衣設備。我們亦為醫管局承辦商新安裝的洗衣房機電系統(包括電力、消防及通風設備等)進行驗收，並就系統維修保養配套提供專業意見。
Engaged by the Hospital Authority (HA) at the end of 2018, the EMSD provided technical support for the renovation and improvement works for the re-opening of Shum Wan Laundry that had been closed for a few years, bringing this laundry with annual handling capacity of over nine million pieces of clothing items back to operation in the third quarter of 2019, which timely met the hospitals’ increased demand for laundry services due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
We assisted the HA in replacing water pipes, steam pipelines and related equipment at the laundry. The replacement project only took six months to complete, followed by a series of commissioning tests. The old steam pipelines had aged so badly that leaks were found on some pipe sections which had to be replaced. As some of the old pipelines were installed above the new laundry equipment and due to the need to tie in with the removal and temporary storage of the asbestos in these pipelines, the replacement works faced immense difficulty and complexity. Finally, we overcame every challenge and completed the project on schedule, winning appreciation from the client. At the same time, we also installed new sensors for the steam boilers so as to monitor their emissions during operation.
Furthermore, we provided technical support for the procurement of laundry equipment, including participating in tender assessment and assisting in conducting acceptance tests for laundry equipment. We also carried out acceptance tests for the E&M systems, including electrical, fire services and ventilation equipment, etc., newly installed at the laundry by contractors of the HA, and offered professional advice on system maintenance services.
