Within the scope of this Project, as a major task, we dismantled a one-story pre-engineered office building located in the U.S Embassy Islamabad, shipped it to Karachi and re-constructed and renovated it inside the U.S Consulate in Karachi. The re-constructed and renovated new facility was furnished with all the essential utilities such as water and sanitary sewer connections, grounding, lighting, technical security system connections, a power distribution panel, fire sprinkler and alarm system, voice, data and TV outlets. This office building encompassed an area of 1600 sqm and provided a modern and secure workspace for 50 people, featuring all the required space requirements including open offices, private offices, meeting rooms, conference rooms, training rooms, break rooms, prayer rooms, kitchenettes, lockers, toilets, laundry, technical rooms, entrance and screening area.

Also, as another major task, existing concrete frame three-story and two-story residential buildings were extensively renewed and renovated to provide essential expansion space for new residential buildings. In addition, a new wastewater treatment facility was built together with associated pumping and conveyance systems; and also a new onsite water well was dug and an associated new treatment plant was put in place. We also re-designed and expanded the existing wetland treatment system with replanting.
