in Perfect sense the main contractor are responsible for all defects found during DLP(defects liability period), but not necessary in this case if public works provide all information that at the time they inspect the works and issue instruction for completion which means they are not liable for this latent defects (need to check the time???????), so dig deep to the root (course of the defect is the grating)! The grating is PCCW properity and PCCW have the obligation to make good the defects!
my personal opinion only
In Practice (B20 HK c-hing is right in common sense) The Client (Public works Dpt. or Road Dpt.) receive the complaint and examine the courses and instruct the party or parties involved to make good the defect works at their expense)
