DSA engineering (BOMBAY)

The present Dsa Engineers (Bombay) has its genesis when the Late Mr. Mahendra Singh, MI (Struct) E, London, was designing the Railway tracks from Bombay to Pune (in the hilly terrain), as he felt the need to contribute something more to the world. To this end he promoted Mahendra Singh & Sons a proprietory concern to promote Public Health Engineering (PHE) as a specialised field.

Upto late 1920's, Public Health was of no concern. Human waste was being disposed off in a very unplanned manner. Early 1930's saw the awakening of an era where the European countries started planning & devising methods and means of treating & disposing human waste.

Late Mr. Mahendra Singh was the only Indian member of the think tank, in the form of an International NGO, who designed, developed and brought into practice various methods of carrying, treating and disposing human waste. The year 1930 saw the dawn of Public Health Engineering, a specialised field to manage waste disposal.

Mr. Mahendra Singh was based at Lahore, he was the pioneer in India to design and install septic tanks with disposal fields, soak pits, oxidation ponds. He was the first person in India to introduce flush valves imported from Shanks.
