CECB - Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau

The Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau (CECB) is a corporate body established in 1973 to provide engineering consultancy services with a commitment to sustainable development. The Bureau is a highly respected and  well established institution with a solid long term record in the planning and execution of projects. Though a state institution, the Bureau has operated from its inception as a self financing organization.

The Bureau has been at the forefront of some of the largest development projects in Sri Lanka and is the premier consultancy organization in Sri Lanka with a wide range of expertise in different engineering disciplines. CECB served as one of the key institutions in the implementation of the Mahaweli Project (cascade development of the largest river in Sri Lanka ). In the implementation of these multi billion Rupee projects, the Bureau was associated with several international consultants and had developed strong engineering competence and expertise through these associations.

The Bureau was responsible for the design and supervision of all project related infrastructure (access roads, bridges, buildings and water supply) associated with the major hydropower and Irrigation projects.  Socio economic aspects (resettlement, community development) and environmental studies were an integral part of all these major projects.
