Mr. Peter Pow is a registered Professional Engineer in the U.S. and in Canada. As a city engineer at the City of Seattle, he has the opportunity to touch base on various disciplines in Public Works. He was the designer of the West Seattle Golf Course Community Storm Sewer Bypass for the relief of a yearly flooding phenomenon in the surrounding communities. He was also the design engineer for the Design and Improvement Works to the Public Storm Sewer System in the Queen Ann and Ballard areas in Seattle.

Returned to HK in 1990, he joined L. F. Sam (HK) Ltd. He now markets and promotes various quality hard landscape products such as Rainsmart, DeepRoot, Platipus and Permaloc, and the MakMax tensioned fabric structures and structural umbrellas.

 

Programme Highlights

The functioning of modern day road requires an intricate Drainage and Sewer Systems,. Architects and Engineers have been seeking solutions to better manage precipitation and improve our storm water management system by reducing runoff, reducing flooding and reducing pollution.

Structural soil was created in the late 70’s to mimic nature as a hopeful for the job. Many products are invented for the purpose of storing stormwater for reuse, recycle, and recharging the ground water table; suspended pavement system for sustainable planting, growing big trees, and to achieve the removal of heavy metals and contaminates in our soil and air.

A look at some of these products on the market in their use and application and how our environment can be benefited from designing and building an underground bioretention system by employing this natural method in managing precipitation.
