KEYNOTE SPEAKER BRIEF PROFILE
•Room 209-211, 2/F., Favor Industrial Centre, 2-6 Kin Hong Street, Kwai Chung, N.T., Hong Kong • King has over 20 years working experiences on utilities related matters in which over 20 years in management roles such as Site Agent, Contract Manager, Project
Manager, General Manager and Director.
The following gives backgrounds of King WONG from Utilities, Safety, Engineering,
Training and Education and IT (BIM and GIS).
Utilities, GIS and BIM King is one of the pioneer in utility specialist fields (Location, Condition and
Management).
He has been in the filed since 1994. He saw the need of better standards, safe practices, procedures and professional
personnel for a better living of the citizens that he devoted himself for the industry since 2000.
He helped to establish HKIUS from 2000-2002 as the Chairman of the Steering Committee. He was elected as President of HKIUS for two terms in 2013-2015 and
2015-2017.
He established ICUMAS (The International Conference in Utility Management and Safety) in 2009 which was then shaping to form IIUS (The International Institute
of Utility Specialists) in 2013 and King is the current Convenor of IIUS. The 6th ICUMAS will be held in Sabah, Malaysia in 2018/2019.
In 2000/2001, he introduced professional training from the UK and Australia to
Hong Kong.
In 2003, King established the training system under UTI (Utility Training Institute). Over the years, UTI has trained over 500 from government, private sectors,
properity management companies and academics, etc.
Trainees also come from mainland, Macao and overseas from Malaysia.
It is now a must that Licenced Land Surveyors and their assistants must complete a 84 hours Professional Certificate of UTI (which was accredited by HKIUS) before

Since 2013, King has been helping to accredit other higher education courses in Malaysia and India.
He has students graduated with PhD, MSc from PolyU, HKU and Open U for utility survey, management and safety.
Seeing the need of having an Integrated Data Management System (IDMS) for
better sharpen of utility location, condition and management, he established the first IDMS in 2003 which was enhanced in 2013 which is based on GIS and with
BIM as a part of it. 3D utility model is not a problem now.
Safety
Safety and health is an investment and we therefore shall invest sufficiently for safety and health which will yield with good returns.
