REPLACING LAUNDRY RACKS, HONG KONG

Hong Kong’s Housing Authority oversees more than three quarters of a million apartments and houses more than 2 million people – that’s housing around 30% of the population of Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong residents of flats usually dry their laundry on racks hung from their windows or balconies.

The Hong Kong Housing Authority decided to replace the existing laundry poles with stainless steel laundry racks.

The challenge was how clean so many holes safely at great heights and to avoid dust with so many people living in each block.
