Voices of Engineering Excellence: Insights from Techno-Consult’s Experts

From the Desk of the Director - Roads & Highways

Rizvan Sabir, BSC Civil Eng.

Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth.

At Techno-Consult, every road we design connects more than cities - it connects people to opportunities. Our work on projects like the Karachi-Hyderabad M-9 Motorway and CAREC Corridor V & VI isn’t just about pavement and geometry; it’s about safety, durability, and sustainability.


We’re increasingly integrating traffic modelling, pavement management systems, and climate-resilient drainage into design reviews. The goal is to future-proof our highways for decades, balancing cost efficiency with serviceability.

Seeing our teams out in the field, from asphalt QC to interchange geometry verification, reminds me that engineering excellence starts with discipline and ends with purpose - improving lives through better mobility.

Field Notes from the Lead Surveyor

Khursheed Hussain

Every successful project begins with reliable data. Whether it’s a hydrographic survey in Gwadar or a LiDAR topographic campaign along the M-9, precision is non-negotiable.

At TCI, we use GNSS, total stations, and UAV photogrammetry to capture terrain models that feed directly into design workflows. But technology alone isn’t enough - it’s the people behind the instruments who make accuracy possible.


My team’s mantra is simple: “Measure twice, design once.” Every control point, benchmark, and cross-section contributes to design certainty and construction efficiency. It’s immensely rewarding to see a motorway or a jetty rise exactly where the coordinates said it would.

Perspective from the Senior Hydrographer

Muhammad Ashraf, MSC Oceanology

Working on coastal projects like Port Qasim, Duqm Port, and Karachi Port’s hydraulic studies has taught me that the sea is never predictable.

Our hydrography division specializes in multibeam bathymetry, ADCP current profiling, and sediment transport studies - the foundation for dredging design and coastal protection. We treat every survey as a living system, where currents, tides, and seabed morphology evolve constantly.


I take pride in mentoring younger hydrographers to combine field skill with digital precision - from QPS QINSy to CARIS HIPS & SIPS processing. Every depth sound and current vector we collect shapes the safe navigation of vessels tomorrow.

Insights from a Water Resources Design Engineer 

Dr Muhammad Bashir Lakhani

Ph. D - Water Resources Engineering- University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA

Designing for water is designing for life. My work at TCI spans dams, canals, and urban drainage systems, from Akhori to Nai Gaj.

We now use HEC-RAS 2D, MIKE 11, and ArcGIS-based hydrological modelling to simulate flows and optimize spillway and channel layouts. Beyond structural design, we emphasize climate resilience, sediment control, and sustainability.


It’s fulfilling to see our designs move from contour maps to functioning infrastructure - dams storing life, canals feeding agriculture, and flood systems protecting homes. Water may be complex, but good engineering turns complexity into reliability.

Reflections from the Project Procurement & Business Development Manager 

Sadaf Rehman - B. E Civil Engineering 

At TCI, my role bridges technical expertise and opportunity development. From ADB- and World Bank-funded bids to national tenders, I ensure our proposals meet compliance, quality, and strategic alignment.

It’s about more than documents - it’s about understanding what each client truly values: transparency, capability, and timely delivery. Our team manages everything from CV alignment and TOR mapping to donor-specific formatting and pre-bid coordination.


Each successful submission is a collaborative effort across departments - a demonstration of how TCI combines engineering depth with professional discipline. For me, every win starts with clarity, teamwork, and the confidence that our technical expertise speaks for itself.
