CIV Tech Associates provides feasibility studies and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) that give clients and financiers the technical, financial, and environmental clarity needed to move a project from concept to approval. Since 1988, our feasibility teams have assessed housing schemes, hydropower projects, dams, and public infrastructure across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Islamabad.
CIV Tech Associates
A feasibility study is the foundation every infrastructure project is built on — it determines whether a proposed scheme is technically sound, financially viable, and environmentally acceptable before a single rupee is committed to construction. CIV Tech Associates has carried out feasibility and environmental assessment work for provincial housing authorities, energy development organizations, and federal agencies, sizing projects ranging from 60-kanal institutional plots to 20,000-kanal master-planned townships.
Our feasibility teams work to the standards required by Pakistan's Environmental Protection Agency as well as international donor safeguard frameworks, having delivered Environmental Impact Assessments for hydropower schemes developed in joint venture with international partners including Germany's IEGHD and RSW International. Every feasibility study we produce is structured to feed directly into a project's PC-I, giving clients a document that satisfies both technical review and government approval requirements in a single package.
