Geotechnical Division

I am deeply honoured and grateful for your trust and support in electing me as Chairman of the HKIE Geotechnical Division for Session 2026/2027.

At the outset, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to our Immediate Past Chairman, Ir Terence Yau, and all past Chairmen and committee members. Through their leadership, dedication and selfless service, they have built a strong foundation for our Division, grounded in professionalism, sound engineering judgement and commitment to public safety.

This year, our President, Ir Prof Frank Chan, has adopted the theme “Connect Minds, Empower Tomorrow”. For the Geotechnical Division, this reflects the importance of bringing together our collective expertise, fostering collaboration across disciplines and generations, and embracing new ideas to address future challenges. Guided by the Institution’s strategic pillars of Sustainability, Evolution and Engagement, we will continue to strengthen our profession and contribute to a safer, more resilient and sustainable future.
