Mr. Mok Wing-cheong is the Director of Drainage Services of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He joined the Government as an Engineer in May 1997 and has spent nearly three decades in the public works system engaged in civil and drainage engineering, accumulating experience in planning, design, construction and management. He was promoted to Chief Engineer in September 2015, to Government Engineer in July 2018 and to Principal Government Engineer in June 2021, overseeing the co-ordination of drainage and flood prevention works. On 1 December 2023 he succeeded the retiring Pang Nga-lai as Director of Drainage Services. The Drainage Services Department is a public works department responsible for planning, designing, building, operating and maintaining sewage collection, stormwater drainage and flood prevention facilities, including sewage treatment works, sewage pumping stations, stormwater drains, river channels and flood storage tunnels, as well as preventing flooding, improving river water quality and promoting sewage treatment and reuse. As Director, he heads the department, oversees its operations and works programmes, and advises the Development Bureau on drainage strategy and infrastructure planning. The department has implemented major flood prevention and sewage projects, including improvements to the stormwater drainage system, the remaining stages of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme, and the relocation and upgrading of the Sha Tin and Kwun Tong sewage treatment works, and has adopted 'blue-green' and sustainable design concepts to integrate drainage facilities with the community and the environment. The department traces its origins to the 1989 merger of the Sewage Services Division and the Drainage Division, and has since developed into the authority for sewage treatment and flood prevention, operating sewage treatment works and stormwater pumping stations and building drainage tunnels and stormwater transfer schemes. Mr. Mok has served in the public works departments for many years and has been involved in the planning, construction and operation of drainage and related infrastructure. As Director he oversees the department's response to flooding risks caused by heavy rain and storm surges, promotes the use of innovative technology and 'sponge city' concepts to strengthen flood resilience, and continues to advance improvements to sewage infrastructure.
