Waste systems designed for compliance — not retrofitted to it
From ETP and STP design reviews to municipal solid waste master plans and biomedical waste programmes, every engagement starts with a regulatory scan and a measured baseline. The result is a system that works on day one and keeps working.
Liquid & solid waste
ETP, STP, MSW, industrial waste
Biomedical & hazardous
Cradle-to-grave compliance
An engineer's understanding of disputes and contracts
Construction disputes are rarely just legal — they turn on delays, variations and technical facts. With a civil engineering background and a PG Diploma in ADR, I resolve disputes efficiently and draft contracts that prevent them in the first place.
