Editor's Notes
Since July 16, 2023, 72 applications have been received by ECPS. 70 of these are LUCs. 1 Construction Permitting and 1 Special Project. Out of 70 LUCs, 1 LUC was disqualified because it was located in a water body according to Detailed Area Plan (DAP).
(Contract S-8A Signing Date: March 1, 2021)
The package had a 17-month initial lifespan. However, S-8A has been extended for 7 months. It is currently 24 months long. As a result, the project is supposed be finished on March 30, 2023. But is not finished yet. To preare the pending deliverables (MD-6) and (MD-7), the consultant my need another two months (within October 2023).
ICC- conducted 48 training sessions of Structural Engineer – (SEng) Training Program as a part of Professional Accreditation Program Strengthening Component of the Urban Resilience Program (URP). A total of 2,942 individuals 1,100 individuals have attended each session. Only 336 candidates appeared in the exam hall from where 124 candidates eventually succeeded in passing the 12-hour SEng registration exam.
Finally, on 10 May 2023, the International Code Council (ICC) also awarded certificates of recognition to each of the 124 successful SEng applicants for their outstanding achievement in the exam.
Although, BPERB was supposed to organize the SEng Exam, due to their reluctance, IEB chose to conduct the SEng through ESCB. Considering the large number of applicants, ESCB reported that they would be unable to hold the exam and requested that BUET take over. BUET took the exam on November 10 and November 17, 2022, and delivered the score report to ESCB at the end of January 2023. In accordance with the decision of the 14th Coordination Meeting of the URP training program organized by Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) held on March 9, 2023, the President of IEB called a meeting, formed a committee, named the Chairman of Bangladesh Professional Engineers Registration Board (BPERB) as its convenor, and declared that the committee would take control of the SEng registration process for the further decision regarding SEng registration.
Now BPERB along with IEB trying to stop the SEng program rather they started another program called “Registered Structural Engineers –RSE” which is contradictory with the objectives of Set up a Professional Accreditation Program and quite confusing also (the role of IEB) ???
