Kwun Lung Lau
Kwun Lung Lau comprises of 7 buildings, which were built from 1967 to 1968. A landslide occurred below Block D of Kwun Lung Lau, Kennedy Town on 23 July 1994, killing five and injuring three. The key findings of the landslide investigation are :

(a) the landslide was triggered by soil saturation resulting from the ingress of a large volume of water into the ground behind the masonry wall, which was appreciably thinner than was usual for walls of this type,

(b) leakages from defective underground water-carrying services (both stormwater drains and the foulwater sewer) within the lot boundary of Kwun Lung Lau were the principal sources of the water, and

(c) the prolonged and heavy rainfall preceding the landslide played a contributory part in resulting in a significant quantity of water having entered the ground, initially through the defective stormwater drainage system.
