Honoring our Innovative Professional Engineers

Two Professional Engineers, Er. Wong Seng and Er. Ng Choon Yeang, were each presented with the Innovative Professional Engineer Award in recognition of their outstanding achievements and creative use of transformative technologies in the engineering profession.

Er. Wong Seng innovated and patented the concrete PPVC technology using a unique composite shear wall system which has brought significant cost savings and improvement in construction productivity and sustainability. 

The lightweight PPVC modules lead to more efficient transportation and installation, better site safety and environmental outcomes for the industry.

Er. Ng Choon Yeang spearheaded the studies, testing and implementation of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) in Singapore for the first time in underground tunnels for Downtown Line 3.  The use of SFRC leads to enhanced productivity and improved durability of the tunnels.

The success of the project prompted the extensive use of SFRC in subsequent MRT tunnelling works such as the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and Cross Island Line (CRL).

Presentation on Coastal Protection

Mr Ho Chai Teck, Deputy Director of the Coastal Protection Department from Public Utilities Board (PUB) gave a very refreshing and insightful presentation on the exciting future coastal adaptation plans to protect and redevelop our coastal areas.  He shared more of the upcoming engineering works and how our engineers can be part of this exciting journey.  The insightful presentation sparked much interest, especially among our new PEs to pursue engineering knowledge in these emerging fields and to participate in the coastal protection works in the future.
