Background

The origin of Design and Dam Division was traced back to the Design Branch. In 1993, the branch name was changed to the Structure and Geotechnical Branch. Corresponding to the restructuring of the Department, the Specialist Services Division was formed replacing the Structure and Geotechnical Branch. At the same time , the function of Specialist Services Division was further strengthened with inclusion of Dam Monitoring Unit.

At the end of 2005, concurrent with the reorganization of the DID, the division name was once again changed to the Structure, Geotechnical dan Dam Division (BSGE). In line with the restructuring of the Department on August 1, 2009, the Design and Dam Division was formed to replace the Structure, Geotechnical and Dam Division.
