Transport
Newtech was engaged in planning and engineering of all modes of transportation including air and marine ports, river transport, railway, pipeline, roads and bridges. However, there was naturally much more involvement in the road sector as the demand was much higher for highways as well as rural and feeder roads
Newtech’s work in this field covers different countries with diversified climatic, terrain and geological conditions.
The services provided by Newtech for this sector included transport policies & organization, traffic planning, pavement evaluation, detailed engineering design and construction supervision.

In particular, Newtech has acquired diversified experience in the preparation and management of turn-key contracts for industrial projects. Other consultancy assignments provided to this sector included Evaluation & Restructuring, Design and Implementation of Management Systems and Administrative Development Studies.
Agriculture and Irrigation
Africa and the Middle East have vast agricultural potential and water resources with some of the world’s largest permanently irrigated agricultural projects. Newtech has therefore, largely benefited from the local and international practices and standards that are highly developed and applied for the different types of irrigation schemes.
Newtech has studied, designed and supervised the construction of new projects and rehabilitation works of major agricultural and irrigation projects that extended for tens of thousands of hectares. The services provided covered different components of these projects, including agronomy, topographic survey, soil investigation and classification, water requirements, irrigation schemes (canals networks, control structures, pumping stations and related electromechanical works).
Water Supply and Sanitary Engineering
Newtech has developed major water supply projects for rural and urban purposes. Water supply projects undertaken by Newtech included the utilization of both underground and surface sources. In addition, Newtech has studied and designed major water conveyance systems, conventional and non-conventional treatment systems and major sewerage networks and facilities.
Newtech has also developed different types of sanitation systems including domestic and industrial waste disposal. Newtech has successfully utilized appropriate technology in developing sanitation systems for rural and low cost applications.
Buildings and Physical Planning
The scope of services provided by Newtech in this area covers the full range of architectural services including physical planning, structural and electromechanical works for buildings. Newtech won several architectural prizes and conducted various assignments for residential, industrial, commercial, educational, health and other civil works and auxiliary facilities. Being socially responsible, the firm gives high consideration for the development of low-cost building materials and construction techniques.
Rural Development
Newtech provides diversified services in the area of rural development, addressing the integrated nature of requirements in this field. Questions of development, in particular in a rural context, are intricately meshed with their respective social setting. This requires engineering projects to be sensitized towards issues of appropriate techniques, use of local resources, reliance on renewable energies, involvement of beneficiary communities, the role of women in development, sustainability and environmental soundness. Newtech has always been able to mobilize experts from different fields and coordinate their professional expertise in order to implement integrated development projects. These projects benefited from latest findings of research work and attempted application of improved techniques in areas of construction, agriculture, community mobilization, etc.
Environment
Environmental Impact Assessment of all major projects is seen by Newtech as a necessary requirement to secure the sustainability of development programmes. Newtech has carried out EIA for most of the major projects it has undertaken including infrastructure and rural development. The impact to both the physical and sociological environment of major projects, are undertaken and the necessary mitigation and monitoring measures are incorporated in the design. Newtech considers the role of Women in Development (WID) as an important component of EIA studies for major projects, as well as other aspects of environment related work undertaken by Newtech included Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) e.g. investigation of contamination related to petroleum products. Newtech has successfully accomplished a vast number of Onshore and offshore Environmental Impact Assessments for a large number of major projects. Newtech applies high standards of health, safety and environmental considerations in its work and work places. Newtech has developed its own HSE Manual for which Newtech’s staff is trained to observe, ensuring proper HSE methods and measures are incorporated in all aspects of design work undertaken by Newtech.
