MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Dedication of our esteemed staff towards the
achievement of professional standards by Technark Consultants
has now ultimately earned distinction among the top thirty (30)
Engineering Consultancy firms in the country. We maintain our
professional aim of paying careful attention to the clients’
needs. However, it is simultaneously true that a firm runs
effectively under the influence of a competent team of directors
that we do possess now; as without their sheer devotion, the
existing level of distinction would not have been achieved so abruptly.
It is not imperative for the firm to look into the quantum of the services or
length and weight of a particular project; but, completing the assignments in
stipulated time within the available budget up to the entire satisfaction of the clients,
is our major objective and goal. The clients do expect from us to complete their
assignments with some high standards of technical applications; and that is why they
do trust in us.
Under the increasing complex nature of developments, we are expected to
provide highly skilled technical staff in the field. As such, the firm has development
strong bilateral relationship with other technical firms who are willing to a joint
venture where our firm may lead; or otherwise they offer us to be associated or in a
joint venture with them.
Unless challenges are addressed with zeal and dedication, perfection does not
come to a firm altogether. Technark Consultants, is now capable of handling all
complex problems in a project, ranging from a door to door social study to a more
highly technically- sensitized studies likewise environment and geological studies; the
most uneasy challenging attempts in the field, for which our esteemed associates in
a joint venture with our firm, go ahead to resolve issues and report under all severe
stress and strain conditions that are being witnessed by us in the province of Khyber
Pakhtun Khwa. This again may be termed as an indirect tribute to the field staff
members that access the abysmal depths of the projects’ scenarios.
In the last, I offer my sincere advice to the employees of the firm to upkeep
the standards expected of them in the execution of their duties, irrespective of the
challenges that are being met by them in the field towards completion of a particular
assignment.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
SMALL DAMS
Small dams can be used to supply drinking
water, generate hydroelectric power, increase
the water supply for irrigation, provide
recreational opportunities and improve certain
aspects of the environment. However, adverse
environmental and sociological impacts have
also been identified during and after many
small dams’ construction in the country.
Whether small dams’ projects are ultimately beneficial or detrimental, to both the
environment and surrounding human populations, have been debated since the
1960s and probably long before that. The environmental impacts of small dams in the
province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa require thorough screening since the provincial
demand for water and energy increases; and the number and size of small dams
increase accordingly.

Many developmental schemes introduced in irrigation
and agriculture sector required the post-constructions;
operation and maintenance of the project, so that the
concerned communities may run the developed
schemes at their own once handed over to them by the
irrigation and agriculture departments. In this regard,
the interventions aimed by the firm on behalf of the
clients (public departments), the social, socio-economic and technical capabilities of
community based organizations (CBO’s) were analyzed by detaining teams in the

19
fields which were headed by the respective field
specialists. Since the participation of the local
labor in the major projects of irrigation systems
where enormous skilled labor was required to
layout simple masonry or concrete works. The
local inhabitants were trained in the indigenous
skills required for the purpose. The firm’s

FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Feasibility studies of engineering projects have
been taken by the firm since the time of its rising
and successfully completed different studies up
till now. Our engineers, geologists,
environmentalists, socio-economists,
hydrologists and social scientists had been
working on different related projects and framed
an authentic and elaborated feasibility study
report for each project so much so that our
reports were taken as an example by other
entities/ departments.
Our feasibility studies are based on quality delivery, explaining sustainable operation
and maintenance. The proposed infrastructures in the studies are planned as per
requirement or needs with presentation of most economic infrastructures that are
durable and acceptable to the client and the beneficiaries.
PROVISION OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Technical assistance was provided to ADB in the Irrigation schemes in FATA, through
application of the following strategies;
 identifying, formulating, and implementing projects
 improving the institutional capabilities of governments and executing agencies
 formulating development strategies
 promoting the transfer of technology
The instruments applied by the firm were as under;

21
 Project preparatory technical assistance for the preparation of feasibility
studies and detailed engineering for projects
 Project implementation technical assistance covering consulting services for
project implementation and initial operation, including the training of project
personnel
 Advising technical assistance supporting institutional strengthening, sector
and policy studies, and non-project-related human resource development
WRITING PROJECT PERIODIC REPORTS AND DOCUMENTATION
In each project, the periodic report on monthly or quarterly basis, inclusive of
inception reports and periodic correction of drawings, had been ethically submitted
to all the clients well in time. For completion of each project, an elaborated final
report was submitted to the clients for their record. All such documents and reports
were even copied on a soft disc and submitted to the concerned client.
PROJECT PRESENTATION THROUGH MULTI-MEDIA TO
HIGH-UPS
The firm has delicate multi-media sets used for the purpose
of project presentations to the clients. Since these
presentations have been of more than 200 numbers, hence
the list is been dropped due to insufficient space here in THE
profile of the firm. These presentations have been useful in
reviving the project’s workability and scheduling.
WRITING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS
Since the major output of the firm had been the designing of civil
engineering projects, hence the firm successfully prepared the
elaborated design, bidding documents, technical specifications,
methodologies and approaches as a project specific
requirement. However one thing was clearly kept in mind that
the modality of all such reports and specifications were framed
within the sphere of rules and regulations, guidelines and
instructions of the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). Technical
specifications of the projects were prepared by a group of
engineers specialized in similar services that in the past
extended their such services in the compilation of composite schedule of rates (CSR)
for the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Our experts have been ensuring the
execution of such specifications on the field as well from time to time as a pre-laid
requirement of the clients.

22
PREPARATION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGNS
In all civil engineering projects, the firm submitted
detailed drawing of works either independently at its
own or in association with other firms. Our technical
experts who are highly experienced in the design of
roads and highways, multi-span bridges of steel
structure and RCC design with multiple introductions
of the foundations required as per bearing capacity of
a soil. These designs were tested on specific software
modalities and calculations. The designs, before submission to the client, were
discussed with them and their technical reviews accommodated. There had not been
even a single incident when design prepared by the firm was suspended or rejected.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION
When the firm acquired potentiality, it switched over to
construction management and supervision as an
additional challenge in the field of civil engineering. Our
field staff of civil engineering and social sciences
adequately fulfilled the field responsibilities of all such
projects assigned to the firm.
Reaching a level of full competency in the field of
irrigation, public health works, roads, highways and
bridges, buildings and town planning, the firm was engaged by different public sector
departments, in the construction management and supervision of their projects. As
such a separate department of construction management and supervision was
established at the firm’s head office at Peshawar. At present, the firm is carrying out
construction management and supervision of numerous civil engineering works.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
It is important to learn from experiences: it expands the existing knowledge base and
helps to make the programs even more effective. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
of projects and programs plays an essential role in this process. M&E gives an
organization insight into the effectiveness and efficiency of its activities, projects and
programs. An organization can use the results of M&E to adjust its activities. M&E is
not simple. Enquiries with projects’ development organizations make it clear that
many organizations have a hard time setting up and carrying out M&E activities. This
is contrasted by the great need to expand our knowledge. Nonetheless, the
experienced staff members of the firm are capable to handle any level of M&E. Many
projects of roads and highways as well as irrigation schemes required continuous
monitoring. This task was assigned to the firm by many public institutions and each
project was successfully monitored.

23
The firm has a list of projects which were monitored regularly and detailed reports
were submitted to the client for perusal. Usually monitoring and evaluation
assignment had been pertaining to the projects which had born expenses of more
than 40 million rupees and such projects required the period of monitoring extending
from year-one to year-five. Majority of such projects were funded by donor agencies
like ADB, World Bank, kfw, USAID and UNDP.
PREPARATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Where design of civil engineering works was
involved that carried the preparation of
BOQ’s, contract specifications, contract
agreements, application of Pakistan
Engineering Council (PEC) rules, regulations
and instructions to be fulfilled; related binding
documents were prepared for the contract that included
bidding documents as well. Advertisement of the bids on
behalf of the clients were floated in the newspapers and all
necessary arrangements for pre-bidding and bidding processes were undertaken by
the firm towards smooth and transparent execution of the contracts by the winning
contractors.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDIES
An environmental impact assessment is an assessment of the
possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may
have on the environment, together consisting of the
environmental, social and economic aspects. The purpose of the
assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the
ensuing environmental impacts when deciding whether to
proceed with a project.
Since environmental study and assessment of a
project is a pre-requisite for the execution of the
project if found feasible, hence while preparing the
pre-feasibility/feasibility studies, environmental
assessment studies were an important part of the
documents. Our environment scientists, some of
whom are Phd’s in their field were accompanied by
their junior staff (environment assessment
inspectors), carried out extensive studies in the field and
earmarked the positive and negative aspects as a post-
construction effect of a project. Mainly such environmental studies related to the
construction of roads, highways, bridges, irrigation and water supply schemes.
Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) were prepared for all projects, as required

24
by government planning requirements, covering the construction and operation
phases of each development.
POLICYMAKING AND POLICY ANALYSIS
Policymaking and planning are core elements of public
governance which aims at deliberate and carefully studied
decision that provides guidance for addressing selected public
concerns. In this regard the firm worked on framing policies for
works like provision of clean air through plantations, provision
of clean water for rural and urban areas, provision of good
health facilities in rural areas, high
employment of skilled and unskilled labour
class in the remote areas of the province,
provision of facilities to the inhabitants in
rural areas in the attainment of the high
education, decent and affordable housing
schemes/ townships and improved literacy,
in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and
FATA. Usually Community-Based Monitoring
System (CBMS) methodology has been adopted by the firm in collecting, analyzing,
and verifying information at the local/community level ~ to the high level of
institutional developments for a particular policymaking.
DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AND DESIGN
As a general approach towards Project Planning, the
local participatory development planning has been
adopted by the firm to analyze the need of a
development, a willingness to involve the local
communities in the decision making that would affect
them; as well as supporting their future
empowerment towards sustainability of the proposed
development. The plans and designs were discussed
with the communities and their visions incorporated in
the final preparation of the development plan and
design. The stakeholders were apprised of the plan in
a joint meeting arranged with them. All concerned
NGOs were consulted while jotting down a plan on a
paper for consideration and their views as to the
success and failure of the development plans
highlighted in the reports submitted to the public
sector’s concerned departments.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND SYSTEM ANALYSIS

25
Need Assessment
Needs assessment vary from project to project and place to
place, depending on the existing livelihood of the people
living in that area and the government’s interests in giving a
developmental project to the affected communities; linked
to the communities’ interest in accepting a proposed project.
However, there had been instances where need assessment
was carried out by the firm in the flood and earthquake
affected areas in Pakistan, especially in the province of KPK
and FATA, in the year 2005, 2009 and 2010. Need assessment
of such catastrophic incidents were carried out on
emergency basis for early consideration of relief to the concerned quarters or
communities. Many bereaved families needed immediate attention hence the task
of assessment was given to the firm by the LDP under the USAID umbrella program
in the case of flood affected areas (2009 and 2010), and by the different donor
agencies in the case of earthquake (2005), so as to provide semi-pucca transitional
shelters to them. The assignments were completed by the firm successfully.
Every project under any Irrigation or Agriculture Departments’ program required
need assessment for operation and maintenance of the systems on self-help basis by
the local communities. These assignments were successfully carried out by the firm
in collaboration with the local communities.
System Analysis
System analysis is the process of totally understanding
the current system by gathering and interpreting facts,
diagnosing problems, and using the facts to improve the
current system. Thus, Analysis specifies 'what' the
system should do; that is, it sets the objective and design
and also states 'how' to accomplish the objective.
Where system analysis was involved, the firm identified
as to who, what, when and where will the system be and
how will it work; thus highlighting a successful system delivery.
A training plan was developed for each system highlighting as
how to use new system and manage changes due to new system.
This activity was particularly related to the small dams, irrigation
schemes, identification of a zoo at Peshawar and water supply
schemes.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS

26
The firm has a team of specialists in the financial field who
develop financial management scenario for every project and
analyze the feasibility of a project from financial and
economic point of view, by calculating the FIRR/EIRR and all
other related calculations, to see whether the proposed
project would be beneficial or not. Proposing all available
sources of income and comparing with the cost to be incurred
on the development of a project, a clear picture is presented
to the client with recommendations. This assists every client
in the selection of a project, after visualizing whether under
the circumstances explained by the firm, should they implement the project or not.
