Details	:	With the outbreak of Covid-19 and the findings of the chance of the spread of virus through defective above ground drainage system after the specialists’ investigations on the visit of the residence of confirmed cases, the public has expressed great concerns on the health and safety arising from defective drainage system and eager to understand more and looking for the solutions for tackling the problems. Being Building Surveyors, we SHOULD have such knowledge on the design of proper drainage installation for effective functioning as well as compliance with the legislative requirements. We can also advise clients for the proper and timely maintenance so as to upkeep the proper functioning of the system. Without proper design and good maintenance, the hazardous outcome imposed to occupants due to improper disposal of effluents and sewage are of immense health and hygiene issues. The outbreak of SARS in 2003 and the current Covid-19 are both typical and sad examples. Our speaker of this talk has involved in the investigation and implementation of remedial enhancement work of the problematic above ground drainage works of Amoy Garden Block E in 2003. He will “re-visit” the more essential parameters affecting the generic design of above ground drainage system for domestic premises; and attempt to brush out the potential problems which solutions are yet to be made available.
