What makes us the premier design firm in the MENA region and Sub-Saharan Africa?
The answer comes in one all-encompassing word: Versatility.
Versatility is what allows us to meet the requirements of diverse projects and respond to the needs of different individuals. Versatility is what allows us to innovate and adapt wherever we are in the world. Versatility is also how we always manage to reconcile cost-effectiveness with great quality.
Our extensive range of engineering and design services plays a great role in enhancing this versatility as well:
ECG’s engineering services cover MEP, infrastructure, transportation and process engineering, in conjunction with a range of supplementary engineering services. These include civil and environmental engineering, together with fire protection, lighting, communications, security, and building management systems.
Our design services, on the other hand, cover Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED), Conceptual Design, Preliminary Design, Basis of Design Reports (BODRs), Schematic Design, Design Development, Detailed Design, Design Optimization, Construction Documents, Value Engineering and Computer Simulations.
We will admit we are perfectionists. When it comes to architectural design, we want to be innovative, functional, beautiful, environmentally friendly, and above all we want to leave a legacy for the generations to come. We also want to bring all that to every possible structure. Whether it be a bridge or a highway, an exterior or an interior, we want it to shine.
Although this perfectionism keeps us up all night, it also pays off. We are very proud of our contributions to some of the most prestigious projects in the region: From landmark high-rises and mega residential compounds, to business parks and LEED compliant buildings, and from acoustics and vertical transportation to conveyor systems and much more.

Dating back to the 1960s, both Bukhara and Samarkand sewerage systems were old and suffering from frequent breakdowns. To tackle this issue, the Government of Uzbekistan together with the World Bank embarked on implementing an important project to rehabilitate and improve the overall wastewater services in Bukhara and Samarkand, two important cities in Uzbekistan. The project development objectives were to mitigate the environmental impact from wastewater pollution and to improve the efficiency and sustainability of wastewater management in Bukhara and Samarkand.
As a member of a consortium led by Corporate Solutions Ltd. of the United Kingdom, ECG provided engineering design and construction supervision services to rehabilitate and improve the wastewater systems in both cities.
In Samarkand, the improvement measures focused on rehabilitating 277 km of sewer networks, a total of six (6) wastewater pumping stations, and two (2) wastewater treatment plants (Main WWTP of capacity 139,000 m3/day and Farhad WWTP which is completely out of operation); while in Bukhara, the rehabilitation measures tackled 220 km of sewer system, sixteen (16) wastewater pumping stations, and one (1) wastewater treatment plant (100,000 m3 /day). The project also involved the extension of sewer networks to high priority areas in both cities.
The wastewater treatment plants in both Bukhara and Samarkand receive new blowers and modern efficient diff user systems for the aeration tanks; and new return sludge pumps were installed at Bukhara WWTP. New screens (at both cities’ WWTPs) and grit chambers (at Bukhara Main WWTP) were installed to better protect all subsequent treatment stages and prevent further damages of existing installations and the new aeration system. Finally, the third WWTP in Samarkand will be completely rehabilitated.
