Our 120-strong Binnies Singapore team is dedicated to addressing the world's water challenges.
Binnies Singapore was established in 1922 as a pioneer in engineering excellence
Its first project, the Gunong Pulai Water Scheme, contributed to the shaping and development of Singapore into what it is today.
Our 120-strong Binnies Singapore team is dedicated to addressing the world’s water challenges with precision and innovation. Specialising in comprehensive solutions, we cover every aspect of water management, from efficient collection and storage to treatment and movement.
At Binnies Singapore, we are not just about solving problems; we are driving innovation and sustainability forward. Join us on our journey as we continue to lead the way in engineering excellence and environmental sustainability. Together, let’s shape a brighter tomorrow.
Creating impactful and sustainable solutions
Our iconic projects, including Changi NEWater, Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant and IWMF Tuas Nexus, exemplify our commitment to pushing boundaries and creating impactful solutions.
We are proud to have played a significant role in developing tailored infrastructure solutions that meet the evolving water demands of the future. From the SingSpring Desalination Plant to the Marina Barrage and the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System Phase 2, our portfolio reflects our dedication to shaping a sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.
Core capabilities
In recent years, Binnies has provided engineering solutions and technology for four out of the five desalination plants in Singapore: SingSpring Desalination Plant, the first large-scale seawater desalination facility for the country, located in Tuas; Tuaspring Desalination Plant, a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant that is also the largest in Asia; Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant, the only facility capable of treating both sea and reservoir water in Singapore; and Jurong Island Desalination Plant, an innovative, energy-efficient facility.
Binnies was involved in engineering works for Tuas Nexus, the world’s first fully integrated used water treatment and solid waste management facility co-located in a single greenfield site. Binnies provided engineering design for the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System Phase 2, a nationwide project that completes Singapore’s long-term vision of a recycled water super-highway.

At the Choa Chu Kang Waterworks, Binnies applied its digital and design expertise to set the requirements for smart technology and digital solutions to improve operational efficiencies. Recently, the company also delivered a feasibility study commissioned by Public Utilities Board for underground stormwater drainage and storage systems to mitigate the impact of rainfall-induced floods.
Beyond Singapore, Binnies has spearheaded the adaptation of the exemplary Singapore water infrastructure model across the Asia-Pacific region at the Batamindo Industrial Park in Indonesia and the Suzhou Sino-Singapore Industrial Park in China, among others. In Australia, Binnies has worked on the Queensland Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme and the Sydney Desalination Plant, one of the largest desalination plants in the world. The Philippines, under the purview of the Manila Water Company, Inc., also applies technology and expertise honed in Singapore for several conversion projects at wastewater treatment plants.

What it’s like to work at Binnies
Abelaine, Civil Engineer
Abelaine, Civil Engineer
“Joining Binnies after graduating was incredibly worthwhile. I have been involved in water treatment projects that helped me to apply the structural knowledge I learnt in school, and been assigned to feasibility study projects, learning how to use new hydraulic modelling software and studying various flood mitigation measures. What I value most is the kindness and support of the people I work with. Their collaboration and encouragement make every challenge manageable – working at Binnies has truly been a great blessing.”

“A core part of my role involves developing hydraulic models and conducting detailed studies using spreadsheets, computational modelling software and GIS.
“What I enjoy most is the project-based nature of the work. Although I have been with Binnies for 16 years, the work that I do changes every few years. Each project brings a new environment to understand, new problems to solve and new lessons to carry forward, keeping the work meaningful and engaging.”
