   Management Team

 

Established in 1972 to meet the region’s demand for technical expertise in civil and structural engineering, T.Y.Lin South East Asia operates from Singapore as an affiliate office of T.Y.Lin International based in San Francisco, USA. In 1990, T.Y.Lin International along with T.Y.Lin South East Asia came under the Dar Al-Handasah Group and became part of a global network of distinguished consulting firms that are well renowned in their markets of operations. Our objective is to identify the specific business needs of our clients and provide added value through technical excellence, delivery through efficient organization and flexibility through personal service and commitment.

In November 1995, T.Y.Lin South East Asia became the first civil and structural consultancy firm in Singapore to be awarded with the ISO9001 quality management certification, further enhancing the services to our clients.

T.Y.Lin South East Asia maintains two major departments, Building and Infrastructure. The firm has provided consultancy services to more than 400 clients in the region and has handled over 600 projects involving a total investment cost of US$10 billion (construction costs for executed projects). Building upon our specialist skills in structural modeling, analysis, design and construction support, the firm has re-invented itself over recent years and taken on a project management role with proven capability to deliver an integrated package of services covering every aspect of the project, tackling complex projects requiring the co-ordination and management of many different experts and professional disciplines. Clients have included government agencies, private institutions as well as contractors.

Together with a strong network of engineering experts and project management support from Dar Al-Handasah Group and leading academics acknowledged as authorities in their respective fields of expertise, T.Y.Lin South East Asia and associate offices in Asia maintain a regional presence of 300 core staffs with diverse backgrounds to provide project teams with the understanding and expertise relevant to every situation and country. Singapore office has a headcount of 200, out of which 15% are registered professionals, 50% technical and 35% support.

In July 2004, T.Y.Lin South East Asia has changed its name to T.Y.Lin International with the intention to create a unique corporate identity as a group affiliated to its main office T.Y.Lin International of San Francisco, USA and also to commemorate the 50th anniversary of T.Y.Lin International of San Francisco, USA.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We strive to constantly offer innovative structural solutions that translate into sophisticated and creative designs of buildings, bridges and urban structures. Our philosophy is simplicity of structural form, which is to be achieved at minimum cost and within project time limit.

INTEGRITY AND INGENUITY
The concept and execution of engineering must be based on INTEGRITY - integrity in applying the laws of nature, and integrity in dealing with fellow engineers, clients, constructors and suppliers. Just as a structure will stand up only with integrity, we need to establish a relationship based on integrity in dealing with our fellow people.

INGENUITY is the very basis of engineering, meaning creativity and excellence and is fundamentally part of progressive engineering. There will be times when unusual problems call for special solutions. When such a time comes, we should not shy away from the demand for ingenuity and the change offered thereby.
