Areas of work

Eight areas the practice works in

In each area the practice covers the full cycle: studies and field investigation, detailed design, then construction supervision.

Water resources & hydrogeology

Aquifer investigations, deep well design and drilling supervision, pumping tests, and estimation of sustainable abstraction rates.

Groundwater control & dewatering

Permanent and temporary dewatering, uplift and mounding mitigation, and subsurface drainage beneath structures.

SEAWATHYDRUSSEEP/WERT / EM

Water & treatment facilities

Pumping stations, reverse osmosis desalination plants, treated effluent reuse systems, and transmission networks and tanks.

Irrigation & land reclamation

Land reclamation and area planning, modern irrigation network design with water demand calculation, and irrigation stations.

Flood protection & stormwater

Flood risk mapping and wadi course identification, surface runoff modeling, and the design of protection and drainage works.

Electromechanical works

Pump and motor selection with power calculations, control panels and electrical supply, lighting works and monitoring systems.

Agricultural consultancy

Soil and water suitability assessment, crop selection and cultivation planning, fertilisation programmes, and nurseries and propagation greenhouses.

Project management & supervision

Engineering supervision of construction, review of drawings and contractor submittals, programme monitoring, and commissioning tests.

Sectors

Sectors the practice has worked in

Requirements differ by sector: aviation facilities by pavement loading and uplift pressure, mines by well depth and salinity, agriculture by sustainable discharge and water quality.

Airports and aviation facilities

Dubai International, King Abdulaziz in Jeddah, the New Capital airport, West Cairo and Malliz.

Cities and urban communities

Sheikh Zayed City, Madinaty, Al Shorouk, New Cairo and the Masharef community in Jeddah.

Mines and quarries

Deep production wells and rehabilitation at Wahat Mines, and dewatering modeling at Makeng Mine in China.

Resorts and coastal development

New Alamein, Saadiyat Island, Hudayriyat East and the Botanica resort.

Agriculture and land reclamation

MAFA farms, jojoba cultivation on treated sewage effluent, and irrigation schemes fed by deep wells.

Strategic facilities

Monitoring wells at the El-Dabaa nuclear site, Olympic City, and the Parliament and Ministries complex.
