At the time of its formation, the objective was for CECB to function exclusively as an organization providing consultancy services for large scale water resources projects identified and pursued by the Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) mainly based on the Water resources Development Plan of 1959 and the UNDP/FAO Master Plan of 1968.
During its early years CECB was called upon to prepare studies for several of these reservoir projects including Samanalawewa which were given priority.
In 1970, GOSL embarked on the ambitious plan to develop the Mahaweli river basin for hydropower and irrigation over a period of 30 years. In 1978, GOSL decided to accelerate the Mahaweli Development Plan and sought to complete it within a period of 06 years. It required construction of many large reservoirs such as Kothmale, Victoria, Randenigala , MaduruOya and Rantembe in parallel, within a short period.
CECB was called upon to serve as the local counterpart to a diverse group of International Consultants and Contractors mobilized for the accelerated project. It completed this task successfully and received commendations from the Government. Through this involvement CECB was endowed with a well experienced human resource base.
With the completion of accelerated Mahaweli Development programme, CECB embarked upon diversification into sectors other than Water Resources. During the last two decades it gained specialization in Buildings, Roads and Transportation, Ports, Coastal, and Irrigation.
Services provided by CECB were further expanded with the establishment of an engineering laboratory and a geological investigations unit.
The Act of Incorporation of CECB was amended in 1995 for CECB to engage in Design-Build and Turn Key services. Many landmark projects have been completed by CECB since then on Design-Build basis.
The Act of Incorporation was further amended in 1998 allowing CECB to form Limited Liability Companies for specific purposes. In 2003, a fully owned subsidiary company, Central Engineering Services (Pvt) Limited (CESL) was formed. Since 2016, CESL has been tasked with construction services.
