The Housing Department will spend $45.8 million on building improvement works at Kwun Tong's Ping Shek Estate to preserve it for another 15 years.
The department has completed a comprehensive structural investigation of the estate and found all seven blocks are structurally safe. However, structural repair and improvement works will have to be conducted in various locations. The works include the construction of lifts and additional lift floor openings to facilitate access as well as installation of green roofs.
The near 40-year-old estate comprises 4,575 flats in seven blocks of up to 28 storeys. It is the last of the first batch of 10 estates under the department's comprehensive structural investigation.
