Er. Lim Peng Hong, President of PEB, emphasised on retaining talented engineers by fostering innovation. Talented engineers seek to propose new ideas and push beyond just complying with regulations; hence, the industry must support and encourage innovation rather than impede it with rigid compliance requirements. Er. Lim further emphasised that by allowing room for innovative approaches, the profession can retain skilled engineers and continue advancing with creative solutions while balancing public safety considerations.

Er. Tan Ngo Chiaw dedicated nearly 3 decades to engineering, design, supervision and management of major water projects for PUB’s Four National Taps.  He has contributed towards the enhancement of Singapore’s water security and resilience.

Er. Tan led and worked with the project teams and stakeholders to adopt the best technologies to these ground-breaking projects across the entire water cycle.  Among the projects are the Changi Waste Water Reclamation Plant (CWRP), acclaimed as one of the largest and most advanced water reclamation facilities in the world, the Deep Water Sewerage System (DTSS), the Choa Chua Kang Waterworks upgrading project which was named the Water Project of the Year at the Global Water Awards 2020 and integrating soil bio-engineering with landscape architecture for the ABC Waters at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.

Er. Tan also made significant contribution to education, serving in the NUS Civil & Environmental Engineering Department Consultative Committee from 2010 to 2019 and the Singapore Water Association from 2012 to 2019.

Presentation on Innovating the Future in the Built Environment

Er. Tan Yoong Heng, Singapore Country Leader, Arup Singapore Pte Ltd gave a very refreshing and insightful presentation on leveraging digital technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to transform Singapore’s built environment. By integrating these tools, engineers can make data-driven, proactive decisions that enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience in infrastructure, helping the sector adapt to a rapidly changing urban landscape. This digital transformation not only improves project outcomes but also redefines the possibilities within the engineering profession.
