HKIE Fire Division Annual Symposium cum Fire Engineering Excellence Award 2019

The Fire Division, jointly organized with The Polytechnic University of Hong Kong, held the HKIE Fire Division Annual Symposium cum Fire Engineering Excellence Award 2019 on 31 May 2019.

The Symposium themed Excellence in Fire Engineering, was the premier fire engineering meeting in Hong Kong and it had provided the best opportunity to assemble fire professionals to exchange their experience and knowledge about fire engineering designs with renounced speakers from Australia, the Mainland China and local experts. Symposium covered the topics of Staircase Pressurization System, Fire Safety in Industrial Buildings, Fire Proofing & Fire Protection of Building Materials & Structures, Smoke Control in High-rise Building and Application of Fire Engineering Approach for Adaptive Re-use of Heritage Buildings.

Following the Symposium, the Fire Engineering Excellence Award was held in the afternoon session to recognize fire professionals who have demonstrated excellent performance in fire engineering project and related research in the past.  A judging panel consisted of representatives from Government Authorities, HKIE President and academics.  After evaluation, the results are as follows:


Category of Award

Project Name

Consultant / Researcher

Grand Award (including Mainland  & Overseas Project)

To publicize the achievements of fire engineering professionals, a special edition was advertised in Sing Toa Daily on 31.5.2019.  Grand award winners presented their works in the afternoon session.

To further promote fire engineering, engineering students from different universities were invited to take part in the essay competition by summarizing one presentation paper.  In the process, they have to analyze the merits and possible development of fire engineering approach in solving future engineering problems.  The competition also brings the core competency areas of applying engineering knowledge, developing technical solutions, managing engineering work and upkeeping professional acumen, recently emphasized by the Institution, to students at their early career of engineering profession.

It is believed that all participants would find both the HKIE Fire Division Annual Symposium cum Fire Engineering Excellence Award 2019 and the essay competition valuable.
