Innovative Professional Engineer Award 2025

The Board would like to invite you to nominate deserving fellow professional engineers as candidates for the Innovative Professional Engineer Award 2025.

The Innovative Professional Engineer Award would be given to a professional engineer who exemplifies professionalism through innovativeness and/or entrepreneurship in delivering the outcomes of the projects that he or she has personally been involved with and raises the standing and reputation of the profession. The award is held once every two years.

Our recipients for the Innovative Professional Engineer Award 2023 are Er. Wong Seng and Er. Ng Choon Yeang.  Er. Wong 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, on the other hand, spearheaded 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).
