The Drainage Services Department (DSD), established in September 1989, is a works department under the Development Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Notably, the DSD also falls under the Environment and Ecology Bureau regarding sewage matters.
With the vision to provide world-class wastewater and stormwater drainage services enabling the sustainable development of Hong Kong, the DSD has been striving to upgrade sewage treatment and flood protection levels in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Institution of Engineers - Civil Division
The HKIE Civil Division was founded in 1979, four years after the HKIE’s establishment by ordinance. It was a time when the city’s development had accelerated with the influx of immigrants from China and the expansion of the manufacturing sector.
With the dedicated hands of our Committee, the Civil Division has grown to become the largest division within HKIE, with a current membership of over 9000. We are proud to be Civil Engineers with the extraordinary achievement our industry has made as a whole.
With the recent boost of upcoming infrastructure projects, our Civil Division will continue to uphold the integrity and status of Civil Engineers by developing and promoting our professional, technical and ethical standards locally and internationally.
