Engineering Design
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.

Architectural Design
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.

Zakho University
To meet the growing demand for high quality education, Kurdistan Regional Government took an ambitious initiative to develop and expand the existing Universities of Zakho and Raparin (Ranya), Kurdistan. The objective
of this reform was to upgrade the two educational institutions to become nationally and internationally recognized.
On a land area of 1,270,040 m2, and with an internal road of length 7,230 km, the project includes the following existing and potentially proposed educational facilities:
Theoretical Zone: Faculty of Education, Faculty of Economics & Law and Faculty of Administration.
Engineering Zone: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Information Technology.
Medical Zone: Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medical Assistance and Faculty of Dentistry, in addition to an educational hospital.
Central Service Zone: research center, cultural center, library, conference hall (sky dome), medical center services, general registration office, university bank, police station & civil defense center, fuel station, mosque, minimarkets and services.
Accommodation Zone: male/ female dormitories and staff accommodation.
Sports Zone: international football field, tennis court, indoor swimming pool, sports facilities and multi-use playgrounds.
Existing Zone: Faculty of Science, Faculty of Humanity, Faculty of Commerce, Faculty of Applied Science, Zoology lab, research center, theater & auditorium, university presidency building, student affairs center,
indoor sports hall, green houses, chemical storage, main storage and two (2) water treatment facilities for proposed buildings and future extension.
The design of the university serves to integrate the new buildings with the existing ones and allows future extension to the spaces and buildings. The design provides enhanced circulation around the campus and around the university’s built form. It provides minimal intersections with vehicular paths, allowing for minimal interruption along the walking paths. It also includes 8,100 asphaltic internal roads with 15 m carriageway width.
The landscape design for the University is strongly influenced by the Kurdish style. The perimeter of the site, the open space, the entries, the faculties and other architectural features in prime locations convey the community character in both building style and landscape treatment. Other areas within the campus are influenced by the character of the region.
