Who we are

We partner with clients to create sustainable value.

Founded in Egypt in 1999, EMG transfers extensive engineering expertise through experience-sharing that builds real understanding of the problems and constraints encountered when project ideas meet implementation.

  • Achieving and demonstrating compliance with laws and regulations
  • Managing environmental, health, safety and social responsibility challenges
  • Increasing profits through responsible waste management, energy conservation and improved operational efficiency
  • Saving cost through utilisation of cleaner energy sources
  • Achieving overall positive impact on the environment and society

Core practice

Three environments, one engineering discipline.

Pollution does not respect boundaries between media. We work across water, air and land with the same analytical rigour — measurement, modelling, design, and verification.

Wastewater treatment basins
Water

Water Pollution Control

Control of water pollution requires appropriate infrastructure and management plans as well as legislation — from treatment process design through to compliance monitoring.

Air

Air Pollution Control

Air quality is closely related to the earth's climate and ecosystems globally. We assess dispersion, model microclimate and heat waste, and design abatement strategies.

Soil remediation earthworks
Land

Environmental Remediation

Removal of pollution and contaminants from environmental media — soil, groundwater, sediment and surface water — supported by site characterisation and laboratory analysis.

All services and engineering capability

Engineering key expertise

Process engineering, simulation and risk — under one roof.

Design is only credible when it is verified. EMG couples treatment process design with hydraulic and dynamic simulation, CFD, physical modelling and formal risk study, so that performance is demonstrated before it is built.
