Lift Enhancement Programme (LEP)

As part of the 10-year plan to upgrade more than 18,500 lifts in Housing and Development Board estates, the LEP will add better safety features such as high-tech sensors to monitor the lift speed and emergency communication system to the existing lifts. The new features include:

  • Ascending car over speed protection, which monitors and reduces lift speed.
  • Unintended car movement protection, which guards against the failure of lift components.
  • Slacken governor rope electrical safety device, which initiates a stop when necessary.
  • Car apron, which reduces the risk of people at the lift landing falling into the lift shaft.
  • Light curtains, which function as a door protective device.
  • Electrical safety interlocking for multiple-panel doors, which ensures lifts will remain in place when doors are open.
  • Automatic rescue device, which brings a lift to the nearest landing and opens the doors if there is a power failure.
  • Emergency communications system.

In Yuhua, lift enhancement for 47 lifts have been completed, while an additional 278 are eligible and due for upgrading under the LEP.

为了满足裕华居民不断变化的需求,社区设施改进委员会展开一些改进项目,如翻新游乐场、增设上下车处和有盖走道、屋顶重修工程、防水工程及修复和重新装修工程。此外,47部电梯已完成提升工程,另有278部电梯获选加入电梯提升计划。
