MAKES Panel of Experts
Meet the Multidisciplinary Panel of Experts Behind MAKES Pakistan
Our Experts panel brings together specialists in environmental engineering, wastewater treatment, constructed wetlands and water quality management. Between them, they’ve worked with government departments, the military, the United Nations and private industry across Pakistan, combining decades of fieldwork, teaching and hands-on delivery to solve real water and environmental challenges.
Engineers specialising in wastewater treatment plants, sewerage design and effluent compliance with NEQS and Sindh EPA standards.
Experts in constructed wetlands, reed beds and low-energy, low-cost treatment systems proven at municipal scale across Pakistan.
Consultants in solid waste management, wetland restoration, biogas, green infrastructure and climate adaptation planning.
What Is the MAKES Experts Panel?
The MAKES team of specialists is a multidisciplinary team of environmental engineers, wastewater specialists, sanitation planners and nature-based solution designers who lead every project delivered by MAKES Pakistan. Rather than relying on a single consultant, clients gain access to a collective of specialists who bring complementary expertise across treatment technology, hydraulic design, environmental compliance and field implementation.
For more than a decade this multidisciplinary team has advised government departments, the Pakistan Navy, municipalities, industrial facilities, development agencies and private clients — turning complex water and sanitation challenges into practical, sustainable, locally appropriate solutions. Our approach reflects global best practice in safely managed sanitation, as defined by the World Health Organization.
Who Needs Access to a Specialist Team?
A specialist team is essential whenever a project carries environmental risk, regulatory obligations or long-term operational costs. Our team supports:
- Government & municipal bodies planning sewerage networks and treatment infrastructure.
- Military & institutional clients requiring reliable, low-maintenance wastewater systems.
- Industrial & commercial facilities that must meet NEQS effluent discharge standards.
- Housing societies & developers seeking cost-effective, green treatment solutions.
- NGOs & development agencies delivering sanitation and climate-resilience programmes.
