ABOUT US

 

Firnas Shuman provides consulting and technical services to those who plan, build, own, and operate power generation and transmission infrastructure in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.


We understand how difficult project development is, especially in the regions where we live and work. Our staff are a diverse, multinational group of experienced mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical and environmental engineers working to support impactful projects in the developing world. Our goal is to help smooth the project development process and therefore make some small contribution to the development of the countries and communities where we work.

As owner’s engineer, lender’s engineer, or independent engineer, our goal is to help ensure that the project is on-track and identify early the things which can cause delays, cost overruns, or stall a project altogether.

Our solar and wind resource measurement team installs, operates and maintains solar and wind resource measurement stations throughout the developing world. We monitor the stations we install and make sure they perform as expected. We enable project developers to run high-quality, bankable solar and wind resource measurement campaigns from the comfort of their offices.

As environmental compliance consultants, we often work for major international financiers or for project owners who receive international financing. We understand that within local contexts and common practices it can be challenging to implement projects to international standards. We see this as an opportunity to help raise the standard of local practice.

We have worked on behalf of governments and national utilities, major international developers, investors, development banks, and development agencies to help design, manage, monitor, and evaluate the environmental and social performance of their projects.

We’ve worked in 30 countries from Pakistan to Morocco, from Cairo to Cape Town. We’ve also worked in a diverse climate conditions, from tropical conditions in places like Guadeloupe, Guinea, Mauritius, Djibouti and Laos, to some of the world’s hottest deserts, to work in freezing conditions at altitude.
