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.

Star Oil Operating Company started processing early crude oil production facility of about 10,000 BOPD from five targeted wells in the recent remarkable discoveries in South Annajma area. This phase was executed on a fast-track mode with an overall duration of 7 months. The project comprised field surface facilities and operation base camp. South Annajma Oil Field is located in the north-east of Keyi Oil Field, approximately 22 km away from Keyi Field Production Facilities (FPF).

The mission of this project was to transfer the crude oil from five wellheads within South Annajma Oil Field to an Early Production Facility (EPF) for removal of bulk water as well as further treatment to meet export specifications of maximum 0.5% BS&W and then export 10,000 BOPD approximately via 43 km export pipeline to the existing light crude shipping tanks at Fula CPF of Petro-Energy Operating Company (Block 6). The combined oil sales of (Star Oil Company and Petro-Energy L/C) is transferred via the Light Crude pipeline connected to the GNPOC pipeline.

South Annajma FSFs comprises Oil wellhead facilities for the 5 wellheads covering piping assembly, sand traps, pig launchers, chemical injection system, on-site electrical work including: outdoor lighting and electrical heat tracing for above-ground piping, earthing, cathodic protection and all the tie-in works to electrical substation (supplied and installed by others), instrumentation and telecommunication system inclusive of fiber optic cables connecting wellheads to the main plant control room, related civil works. FSF works also included 5 flow lines of 6” diameter, insulated and underground of total length of around 8 km.

The operation base camp comprises fully furnished accommodation rooms for 60 persons; fully furnished administration offices; fully furnished Mosque and ablution area for 100 persons; fully equipped and furnished laundry building; fully equipped and furnished Restaurant Building including kitchen & dining for 100 persons; equipped internal recreational building & outdoor Futsal ground; clinic; potable and utility water supply system; electrical substation; emergency generator; concrete walkways; satellite TV system; computer system with Local Area Network system (LAN); Safety and Information sign boards; fire alarm and fire protection systems; internal gravel and concrete road; perimeter and area lighting; car parking area; fuel station; workshop; warehouse; perimeter fence including main and emergency gates; observation towers; guard room and general material stockyard. 

The Operation Base Camp is designed and constructed taking into account all factors of safety, functionality, maintainability and to provide a satisfactory comfort level while complying with relevant international codes and practices and Sudan government regulations.

Premised on a plot area of 26,000 m², the 7 million dollar lube oil blending facility produces 23,000 tons of automotive, industrial and marine oil of different categories. The plant consists mainly of 3,200 m² base oil storage area surrounded by a bund wall of soil embankment covered by a bituminous sand layer with eight steel tanks of 300 m³ to 1,000 m³ capacity; 2,400 m² steel-structured blend center / warehouse building comprises the blending area with five (20 m³) heated tanks (blending kettles) and filling machines; 600 m² mezzanine floor for storage of empty containers and cartons as well as finished product storage area of 780 m²; in addition to a two-storey building for offices and laboratory; 300 m² finished product storage area of reinforced concrete bund wall including two steel tanks of 50 m3 to 100 m³ capacity; utility building where the plant boiler and air compressor are located; and 3,000 m² of uncovered storage area for the storage of drummed additives and products in addition to an extra area for the plant future expansion.

ECG also designed and constructed the siteinfrastructure including roads, fire protection system, roads and plant fences.

The project aimed at the construction of an aviation depot handling jet fuel comprising five 50,000-liter tanks, dike wall, product receiving system, refueled loading system, fire protection system for operational building, two storage blocks, vehicle wash system, oil/ water separator, administration building, area paving and hardscaping.
