Roads, Highways and Bridges

The ever changing needs of the environment are leading to the demand for faster and safer transportation systems. Over the last 50 years, Techno Consult International has carried out a large number of highway works in Pakistan and abroad. TCI has designed and supervised the construction of highways located in extremely difficult terrains, such as coastal roads in southern parts of Pakistan and mountainous highways in northern parts of Pakistan and Oman. A large number of these projects have been financed by international agencies such as World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), and Overseas Economic Co-operative Fund (OECF). TCI works include Planning, Designing and Construction Supervision of the first high speed inter-city super highway in Pakistan between Karachi and Hyderabad in 1962-69.

Techno Consult International has the credit for preparing a Master Plan for the development of 33,000 km of primary, secondary and tertiary highways upto the year 2000, covering the entire area of Pakistan. Projects completed by TCI have ranged from small “Farm to Market” or “Rural” roads to major highways connecting cities as well as neighboring countries. Assignments have involved bridges work, tunnels and other major structures encountered in the field of transportation with extensive planning and designing in the most difficult terrains. TCI has to its credit designing an extremely challenging coastal road situated in a tidal basin in interior Sindh, Pakistan.

TCI started Surveying, Planning & Designing of Roads and Highways in1961. From 1973 onwards, TCI has been designing all its projects on mainframe computers/high speed CAD Workstations using “State of the Art” software. TCI possesses the latest hardware and software available to attend to all computer aided designing and drafting work on highways and related structures. All works, right from field surveys with centimeter accuracy GPS and Total Stations to computer aided designing and drafting, are being done on the latest techniques available today.
