In a world where few people have the knowledge of industry working
pipeline, Industrial Robotics can give a unique view of all the on-site
operations, thereby empowering the confidential, mission-critical stuff of the
engineering world. It can enhance the abilities of the engineering processes
and help achieving better technical and execution levels. Its most important
benefit is the efficiency and accuracy in operations. The combination of speed
and uptime leads to higher throughput at lower operating costs and deliver
great ROI.
It is also impacting the engineering space at its social, economic and
environmental highgrounds. Creating a niche with its smooth moves, it is
playing a significant role to keep engineering corporates thriving and spawn

Engineering is all about teamwork, communication and building true
relationships, but days are here, where one can experience the existence of an
eye-pleasing hydraulic colleague. Industrial Robotics is the next big thing in
the evolution of engineering world. It will surely drive the tangible world
towards a better pathway of civilization. Robotics will constantly be the
backbone of the fast paced operations and quality engineering services. This
synergy of bots and engineering has a benchmarking potential to spread

ABHIYANTA
CONSULTING ENGINEERS LLP
A Pioneering Consultant for Design of Electrical and ELV Services
SUBSTATION to WORKSTATION
Abhiyanta work towards
the demands of a true
integrated approach for
the buildings of the future
on a converged platform

In India, the significance of Engineering Consultancy
Services is escalating with the thrust on infrastructure
services. The country is witnessing the development of
a versatile network of engineering consultancies with
expertise across a wide-ranging spectrum of disciplines.
These firms are the key drivers in revolutionizing the
country’s growing engineering consultancy space.
Established in 1991, Abhiyanta Consulting Engineers
LLP is amongst the leading proprietary consultancy firms
offering outstanding Design Consultancy for the electrical
projects. The company started its journey with a curated
focus on the industrial projects and has expanded its
horizons by taking up commercial, residential, hospital and
institutional projects which helped it to create its niche in
the marketplace. Situated in Pune, the firm is focusing on
the engineering consultancy field particularly in industrial
projects as well as the Infrastructure projects.
Beginning with few sq. ft. of area in its initial days to
today’s 200 lakh sq. ft. of area, Abhiyanta has been rolling
out innovative electrical solutions for over three decades.
By capitalizing on the extensive knowledge of codes and
standards, and the latest technology, the firm’s project
designs perform smoothly from ideation to conception
leading to an outstanding construction. The firm has
effectively designed electrical services for some of the most
prestigious residential, commercial, institutional, and
industrial projects in and around Pune.
We continually demonstrate our
deep commitment to business
integrity and quality work in
helping to achieve the future
of services design
Keeping-up with the Latest Trends
Technology transformations with digitization along with
BIM, AR/VR, mobile user interfaces allowing real-time
communications are the major upgrades. Even in
architecture, 3D printing to 3D scanners creates digital
models that have made the consulting organization think
out-of-the-box. Use of IoT in the applications and solutions
has made the consultants make changes in the tenders or
specifications to accommodate the technology upgrades.
Embracing these latest trends and inclusion of processes in
the day-to-day operations, it inculcates strong CRM
(Customer Relationship Management) skills in its
employees for good answerability to the organization. This
helps the organization to achieve higher profitability.
Foreseeing that the BIM (Building Information Modeling)
is excessively used in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and
Plumbing) design for which the use of Revit in Acad design
is necessary, the firm already has its own draftsmen trained
on the platform. The firm is making unified efforts to create
a framework of experts for larger project base value.
Meet the Dynamic Duo
Mr. Vinayak Vaidya is the Founder and CEO of
Abhiyanta Consulting Engineers LLP. After pursuing
Electrical engineering with an aim to start a design
consultancy and attain experience, Mr. Vaidya joined a
contracting firm. Later, to experience the on-site operations,
he worked with the TIFR (Tata Institute of Fundamental
Research) projects division for GMRT (Giant Metrewave
Radio Telescope) project. This on-field experience helped
him to gain expertise in workable methods and design along
with actual practical knowledge which helped in
formulating design guidelines, quality drawings, and
specifications.
Another significant persona is Mr. Vinayak Sane,
Managing Partner and COO, graduate in Electrical
Engineer who started his career in manufacturing and then
extended his arms in the field of consulting. Being an
entrepreneur, he wanted to get into design of electrical
engineering. With senior electrical engineering stalwarts
around him, Mr. Sane decided to pick up a new trend
Integrated Building Management Systems – a combination
of fire alarm and life safety, security and surveillance and
building automation on a single platform. Gaining
knowledge by understanding the implementation processes
and learning the ropes of design, Mr. Sane migrated to the
field of design.

Passion for good and clean designs and recognizing the
need to increase the offering from Electrical + ELV
(extra-low voltage) to the entire MEP (Mechanical,
Electrical and Plumbing) helped the duo to work together
and frame the cornerstones of Abhiyanta Electrical
Consultants & Engineers. In the year 2016, the firm was
converted to Abhiyanta Consulting Engineers LLP,
currently catering to all verticals (except oil and gas) by
adding LV (low-voltage) design & MEP coordination
capabilities with increasing demand of the projects.
A Unique Firm
Quality of design based on the industry standards,
innovation in design, converting these designs in high
quality drawings and accurate BOQ (Bill Of Quantities)
sets the firm distinctive.
Acknowledging client requirements and co-relating it with
new products, innovative layouts without compromising the
reliability and safety has helped Abhiyanta to establish
itself as a trustworthy brand. Keeping abreast of
development in electrical industry, incorporation of industry
needs in the design and going beyond the usual brief has
been constantly empowering the firm in taking client
engagement to a new level.
It is a firm that supports the client with its state-of-the-art
design, modular enough to adapt new technological updates
and rugged enough to last the life of the project. Further,
Abhiyanta is committed to bring out the best in its
employees, clients and projects while upholding the highest
standards of its discipline, work ethic, and integrity.
Reliability and safety integrated in any design, the firm has
regular design meetings for solutions, product presentations
from system suppliers or OEMs (Original Equipment
Manufacturers). Abhiyanta prominently focuses on client
servicing and continuous meetings with the regular
attendance to the product presentations and expositions
helping it in networking with the OEMs and upgrading the
designs and specifications. Further, it also plans regular soft
skill development lectures for the engineers.
Surpassing Challenges
Since inception, Abhiyanta has been taking unified efforts
for tackling every challenge to withstand the complexities
of the market. The biggest challenge was to train and
motivate the manpower to suit its standards. Consistency in
quality outputs is always a challenge. “We have set design
and quality check procedures along with use of software
We prioritize our client's objectives,
budget and time frame for each
project to provide a high-quality
product in an efficient and
cost-effective manner
programs developed by us has helped us in overcoming the
quality & time challenges” says the duo.
The core team has successfully embraced the changes
happened in the low voltage product and systems. Also the
complexity of project services and number of services to be
incorporated in limited spaces available pose major
challenge in the design. With meticulous work and
coordinated designs, Abhiyanta has unlocked the success
doors and proved to be a trendsetter in the engineering as
well as design consultancy.
Emphasizing the Core Values
Passion, commitment, integrity, innovation, and
accountability are the virtues on which the foundation of
Abhiyanta’s project engagement depends. It focuses on
providing value to the customers and building long term
relationships.
The company dedicates its success to its in-house electrical
design consultants who are always in a state of training and
updating their skill set. Additionally, staying current on
codes, LED technologies, power issues and software is
paramount to the success of the projects undertaken by the
company.

services and uniqueness, we bring you an exclusive
interview with Mr. Vishwas.
1) Kindly brief us about your consultancy.
Consulting Engineers Group Ltd. is an ISO 9001:2008
accredited leading international consulting organization
providing comprehensive professional consultancy services
for all the facets of planning, preliminary and detailed
engineering design and construction supervision of
Infrastructure development and management projects.
Founded in 1984, CEG has grown exponentially and
transformed into a multidisciplinary organization in the
ambit of infrastructure and now employees over 1100
professionals working from various offices globally. CEG
today has a wide ranging portfolio and has successfully
implemented several iconic infrastructure projects. CEG
have a current turnover of INR 1.27 billion and
international experience of working in Bangladesh,
Australia, Ghana, Liberia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique
and Tanzania.
2) Brief us about the Founder/CEO and his/her
contribution towards the upliftment of the consultancy.
What was the source of inspiration for your consultancy
to be a pioneer in the Engineering Consultants segment?
The genesis of thought prevailed since completing
engineering in year 1983 to be an entrepreneur and do
something in the core civil engineering field. Having strong
certainty in mind, he could never think of getting a job and
thus never tried. As a humble beginning, he started with
environmental consultancy and geotechnical investigation
and now it is one of largest Indian Infrastructure company
associated with many iconic projects in India and abroad
and responsible for creating employment opportunities for
more than 1100 engineers and professionals.
3) What are the distinct products and services provided
by your consultancy, setting you apart from your
competitors?
We are known to deliver best technical solutions to our
clients at par with International quality. We pride ourselves
for the wide range of services that we can offer under a
single roof. CEG is the only Indian owned organization in
the country to have the capabilities for infrastructure
consultancy services along with complete facility of
laboratory and field investigations for varied development
projects. Our sister concern – CEG Test House And
Research Centre Pvt Ltd. Is a well-known in the
engineering and FMCG industry, where in it is fully
equipped to provide testing services ranging from
construction material, non-destructive, geotechnical
investigations, water testing, environmental monitoring,
food and pharma testing with due approvals from the
concerned authorities like NABL, MoEF, FSSAI etc. Also,
we have always re-invested our profits in the interest of
company which has led to a situation where we proudly
remained a debt free company from the past 30 years.
4) What are the key attributes that helped your
consultancy to overcome the challenges?
The essence of any company’s consistent growth is based
on how they chose to interact with their clients.
Accordingly we have always made our efforts to maintain
the quality of our deliverables to the best possible manner
and provide the consultancy keeping our ethical policies on
top priority. A lot of this has also been possible due to the
support of well-experienced senior professionals with
similar minds who have always encouraged such policies
and also communicated these to their colleagues to
inculcate the same values.

5) What is the current scenario of Engineering
Consultation industry, from your point of view?
In a developing country, the key to growing at a higher rate
lies in the ability to create world-class infrastructure.
Infrastructure development has contributed lot in GDP
growth of India. Now Indian consulting companies and
professionals have gained rich experience using latest
technology. Indian consulting companies are now actively
participating in third world countries including African
sub-continent, South east Asia and other part of world.
Indian consulting companies have observed more fast
growth in other countries during last one decade. Our
biggest strength will remain experienced professional
manpower ready to take challenge in any part of world. I
feel, consulting industry will keep excelling at international
level in future. Unlike few year ago when we were looking
to bring international consulting companies to India for
better technology, now we are in the position to provide our
know how to others which is at par with International
standard.
Present perks and salaries offered within India is
continuously attracting many Indian professionals to come
back to home country, who have spent considerable time
abroad working in International culture and got varied
exposure with technology.
I strongly feel, Indian consulting companies will keep
growing their business within India and at international
level.
6) With the massive advancements in the Engineering
industry, what are the opportunities and challenges
evolving with it?
Infrastructure industry in India is with full of opportunities.
We still to go in long way to strengthen our infrastructure
especially in Road, Rail, Metro, Airport, Power, Water
resources etc. Infrastructure is an area where there lies huge
opportunity, which can be tapped by evolving an integrated
development programs within different sectors and regions.
There is a need for some radical decision-making and good
project development. We still face several challenges such
as the delayed project completion, cost overrun, land
acquisition problems, lack of coordination between multiple
stakeholders in the infrastructure sector, lengthy document
processing time, lack of Clarity and procedure in resolving
Environmental issues etc. We need strong political stable
polices for smooth and faster development. Today’s
infrastructure is under intense pressure to operate at the
speed of development - that means being infused with the
agility to adapt as quickly as customers and the market
demand. We also need to run continuous training and
capacity building programs for all stake holders involved in
developmental activities. No developing country can afford
to waste a small money by creating inferior quality of
infrastructure where we need more attention so that each
and every rupee spent contributes to nation development.
By having involvement of good consulting companies,
responsibility of quality issues can be addressed.
7) What are the benefits gained by your clients while
doing business with you?
Our working principle has been very simple, to produce
such quality work that one client who becomes associated
with CEG would never leave us. Our clients are located in
nearly every part of the country. But whoever and wherever
they are, we spend time getting to really understand our
clients, listening to them closely. We differentiate ourselves
by focusing on the value they’re looking for and having a
strong, global network with deep roots and local
knowledge, delivered to wherever it’s needed. In every
case, our purpose is twofold: to help our clients find
solutions to their important problems and to work with
them, and our other stakeholders, to build trust in society.
8) What is the role of your employees behind your
consultancy’s success? How do you keep them
motivated?
As our vision and mission, we feel our employees are our
assets and we are firm believers of advancing our
employees further in their career which is one of the main
reasons of success of CEG. We have implemented very
strong Human Resource polices in the interest of welfare of
our employees. Their work and contribution are being
recognised and incentivised. We give entire credit of
success of CEG to our people who created growth path for
us. We are proud to create a safe place to work for
professionals coming from across the country without
having any fear for women employees.
9) What would be your advice for the budding startups
and entrepreneurs in the industry?
First of all, find your passion and work hard with clarity in
thoughts endlessly. Believe in yourself and also let others
grow with you. Every person you meet is game changer and
learn from them. Difficult is not impossible, just keep
going. Delete word struggle and take everything easy.
10) Brief us about your consultancy’s future
perspectives.
We aim to remain committed to our profession and success
shall follow. We don’t aim for everything; however, we do
aim to be the best in the industry in whatever we do.
Transport sector is our hard-core strength and we really
enjoy the fact of being the preferred choice for Roads, Rail,
Airport, Metro projects among our esteemed clients. Our
near future plan is strengthening ourselves in Metro, Rail
and Airport sectors. We also look forward to develop our
capabilities in water sector.

SEED Engineering Consultants
Treading an Extra Mile to Deliver Efficient Engineering Solutions
Sanu Mathew is the Co-founder
and Managing Director of
SEED Engineering Consultants.
He is an Electrical engineering
graduate with over 28 years of
experience in Building Services
Design, Site Supervision and Project
Management of High- & Low-Voltage
Power Systems. He is one of the lead
designers in the team and has
experience in design & supervision of
engineering services systems for
Airport, Utilities, Commercial,
Residential, Retail, Hotels, School,
Hospital and Infrastructure Planning
projects. Sanu persistently encourages
the team with his passion for
excellence and keenness for
sustainable design.
Groundbreaking Products and
services
“Seed’s core principle is to integrate
sustainability and energy-efficient
design in its products and services
from the concept stage itself.”
SEED offers a curated set of
comprehensive MEP which generally
includes Plumbing, Fire Fighting, Fire
Protection, Electrical, HVAC,
Networking (Telecom / Data /
Structural Cabling / ELV), BMS, CCTV
and Lighting design. The company
prominently designs exclusive
products for Vertical Transportation,
Gas Bank, Irrigation, Solar works, Bio
digester, STP, WTP / RO etc.
It provides Green Building
Accreditation services like EDGE,
LEED, IGBC, GRIHA, etc. The
company also delivers ELV system
design services, Specialist lighting,
Audio Visual - IT and Acoustic
consultancy.
The Success Story
As Peter Senge rightly said “Seeds do
not contain the resources needed to
grow a tree. These must come from the
medium or environment within which
the tree grows. But the seed does
provide something that is crucial: A
place where the whole of the tree starts
to form. As resources such as water
and nutrients are drawn in, the seed
organizes the process that generates
growth. In a sense, the seed is a
gateway through which the future
possibility of the living tree emerges.”
Similarly, it was not an easy task for
SEED to outshine the existing
competitors and withstand the market
complexities during its initial stage.
But, the experience of the Directorial
board helped the company to address
the client needs and convert every
challenge into opportunity in order to
climb the stairways of success. With a
vision to bridge the gap in the field of
Building Engineering and to positively
impact the various parameters related
to the design of MEP Engineering
Services, SEED established itself as a
one-of-its-kind brand. Also, the hard
work, experience and perseverance of
the project team during those initial
budding years drove way to the future
possibilities.
Apart from this, the mantra which has
helped the company to prosper over the

Expert’s Voice
LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND
Future of Construction
In today’s word, where population has reached 7.8
Billion and is estimated to reach 10 Billion by 2050,
Earth would become smaller place to live. For catering
the needs of society, we have to develop Big & Complex
Infrastructure as well as smart & sustainable dwellings. To
be prepared for such requirement, Construction Industry
needs to adapt latest technologies to keep its foot with
Industrial Revolution 4.0. If you look deeper in to it,
Industry is experimenting many new technologies which
will strengthen our decisions and productivity to deliver
complex projects.
Currently, India is witnessing fast pace of construction in
infra projects with many new technologies and equipments
but if we would talk about buildings, we are still lacking to
adapt new technologies. With new technologies developing
in the world, we can surely work on setup where Homes
and Building components will be made in a factory and it
can be installed at site. Pre Fabrication & Modular
Construction Technologies enable us to do this.
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of
a structure in a factory or other manufacturing sites, and
transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the
construction site where the structure is to be located. It
reduces cost of on-site work and ensures quality. Consistent
indoor environments of factories eliminate most impacts of
weather on production.
Autonomous Construction Technology is another
technology which is making a shift from Labors to
Machines. By using Robotics and AI, many companies are
developing tools and equipments which are automatic and
can be used at site to make on-site work more productive.
3D printing is the computer-controlled sequential layering
of materials to create three-dimensional shapes. There are a
variety of 3D printing methods used at construction scale,
these include the following main methods: extrusion
(concrete/cement, wax, foam, and polymers), powder
bonding (polymer bond, reactive bond, sintering) and
additive welding. It enables construction to be undertaken
in harsh or dangerous environments not suitable for a
human workforce such as in space. For Making small and
compact Homes this is reducing time by almost 70%. It is
very useful for catering Mass Population.
Many Companies and researchers are now making
Advanced Building Material which are economical, highly
durable and are faster in execution. Soon 60-70% of all
building Material which we are using today will change to
more productive alternative.
Imagine Driverless Equipments and Machines which can be
controlled sitting far away from site improving productivity
and efficiency. Now Wireless Monitoring & Connected
Equipment technology are making their way forward. One
of the biggest Construction Equipment Manufacture has
successfully tested First Driverless Truck.
When it comes to Design and making, Augmented Reality
and Virtual Reality is allowing Customers to walk and feel
the Project before they hit the Ground. It improves decision
and gives you power of Imagination. Building Information
Modeling is another Great Technology which is giving new
wings to design. It is making your Physical Building into a
Digital Model to use it with Other Technologies. 3D
Scanning & Photogrammetry using Laser scan & LIDAR
(Light Detection and Ranging) Technology is helping
converting New & existing buildings into Manageable 3D
Models. It is strengthening BIM and AR VR Technologies.
We in Manomav is doing extensive R&D to combine all
22 |October 2018|

this technologies to use it for construction phase of building
and delivering a product which can help Managers for
better supervision.
Along with these Technologies, software are now in the
market which can be used for Cloud based Real time
Collaboration of all digital data. It is enabling different
Teams to work together and achieve common Project Goals.
Companies are making it an integrated, collaborative suite
of finance, operations and project management applications
for contractors and capital project owners. Microsoft is also
developing wearable headsets which combines data and
details with virtual reality.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Director at Manomav
Engineers, Antriksh Tawar is an
IIT Delhi alumni. He prominently
handles the R&D operations of the
company for new technologies
which can be executed at
construction projects. Antriksh has a
vast experience in the eld of
Management and Building
Information Modeling. He has been
a part of various projects such as
Chandigarh International Airport,
Safdarjung Hospital Project,
Government Housing Development
project in Noida & Ghaziabad and
OPGC Merry Go Round Railway
Corridor Project.
Big Data & Predictive Analysis is another technology
which is now touching construction industry. Each
Construction Project generates a lot of data from Initial to
Closure phase. All the learnings and outputs can be used in
Future for various purpose. Big Data & Predictive Analysis
helps to collect this data, prepare Models for Analysis and
then using it on New Designs and Projects. This will help in
Predictive Analytics for taking better and informed
decisions, Waste Estimation and possible outputs.
All these technologies are going to play a vital role in
future. Companies and professionals in Construction have
to line up with this new trend to stand firm in this changing
era. This will only enable us to cater such a huge demand of
future. When we talk specific about India, there is a big age
gap between people who is selecting career in construction
field. At every other Project, you can find mix of very
young and very old professionals. This gap poses a
challenge to adapt these new technologies. Even in
Manomav we are facing the similar challenge while
working on almost all above technologies. All I can say at
last is famous quote of George Bernard Shaw “Those who
cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

|October 2018|

Right from the invention of wheel, all the things
that humans have created has a reason behind it.
More or less all the man-made objects that we see
around us have one thing in common -engineering design
component. Taking simple example of a spoon, where the
aesthetics may vary but the engineering design constituent
in a spoon is what makes it useful to serve or eat food.
While 2017 was a year which introduced various
technological advancements, the year 2018 is witnessing
rapid developments where engineers are integrating IT
more and more tightly into the design of products. Today,
consumer durable manufacturers are selling appliances-asa-service
engineered with built-in IT. This enables the
business world to connect with a smart platform for
predicting, preventing, scheduling maintenance and
generating profitable outcomes. Also, the engineering
services outsourcing (ESO) industry is rising with the ESO
providers holding the reins of integration of engineering
and IT. With the evolution of this industry the engineering

SUSTAINABLE
ENGINEERING
EN-ROUTE TO A VIABLE
ECOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT
You “ cannot get through a single day
without having an impact on the
world around you. What you do
makes a difference and you have to decide
what kind of difference you want to make”
Jane Goodall.
Recently India went through an enormous
change; the “plastic ban” that was
instigated in the country, it was a huge step
towards a sustainable future. The modern
lifestyle and societal practices have led to
climate change,
pollution-related illnesses, and rising
energy costs, suggesting that these choices
cannot be sustained indefinitely. We are
surpassing the capacity of the planet to be
able to afford many of the resources we
use, and to accommodate our emissions.
Recognizing this problem, that is the need
to live within limits and to ensure more
equality in access to the restricted
resources is the heart of the concepts of
sustainable development and sustainability.
Making the human activities moderate, so
as to allow an unrelenting use of the
resources infinitely is sustainable

development. Living with the
ecological limits of the planet has
become a necessity with the ever
increasing population. This has urged
engineers to develop more sustainable
and green solutions to these issues.
To achieve this, a new field of
engineering has emerged, which is
known as sustainable engineering. It
deals with the manufacturing and
development of products that fit the
present needs of the humans, without
compromising the needs of the future
generations. There is an increasing
need of environmental engineers to
come up with holistic and effective
solutions to defend our vital life
sustenance systems, while supporting
the basic needs of the growing human
population. Conceptions like life cycle
thinking, sustainable systems
engineering and industrial ecology are
chief elements in the tutelage and work
practice of a sustainable engineer. Few
trends that can be followed to address
these issues are:
• Using methods that decrease
environmental damage, to provide
the ever increasing population with
sufficient food, water, shelter, and
mobility.
• Development and designing of
products and practices so as to cut
down the wastes, by using this
waste as an input for another
product.
• Integrating environmental and
social restrictions; as well as
economic considerations into
engineering decisions.
• Designing, renovating and
constructing new residential and
commercial structures in a more
environment friendly manner, to cut
down on emissions, illnesses, and
energy consumption.
Incorporation of sustainable
engineering requires an
interdisciplinary approach in all the
facets of engineering. It is not a sole
responsibility of sustainable
environmental engineer. The ultimate
|October 2018|
goal of a sustainable future can only be
attained when all the fields of
engineering incorporate sustainability
into their practice. By observing the
interaction between ecological,
technical, economic and social
systems, to achieve sustainable
engineering has taken the concept of
environmental engineering to the next
level.
Sustainable Engineering as
Profession
“Engineering in context, engineering
with a conscience, engineering for a
finite planet, and the indefinite future.”
—Benoit Cushman Roisin.
Provision of sustainable infrastructure
will require a boost in the number of
students who take up environmental
engineering with an aptitude towards
sustainable development. This will
require a great deal of collaborations
between sustainable engineers,
biologists, ecologists and geologists to
carryout activities within major
projects. To become an environmental
engineer one will not only need to have
a skill in mathematics and science, but
one will also need to be creative and
must have a fascination towards
solving problems. An added attribute
towards becoming a successful
environmental engineer is to be a
people’s person. Being able to work in
teams and understanding what people
need to work effectively is a key.
The profession is highly lucrative and
high paying, an environmental
engineer specializing in sustainability
can work for the United Nations,
Government Departments or in large
companies. Private consulting
companies that work for water,
infrastructure, natural resources,
manufacturing, and environment
sectors, also hire environmental
engineers. Monitoring the impacts of
climate change on infrastructure, and
finding ways to reduce this impact, or
implementing national reforms, or an
international approach to improved
environmental management, are some
of the projects that the Sustainable
engineers develop. Being an
environmental engineer specialized in
sustainability, has an added advantage.
One can:
• Gain an insight into the holistic
principles of industrial ecology,
eco-design, risk management,
resource efficiency, sustainable
consumption and production.
• Understand the sustainability and
environmental outlines on the
corporate and regional sustainable
development.
• They have an expert awareness in
sustainability assessment
techniques and tools, such as life
cycle assessment, environmental
footprint, material flow analysis and
input-output analysis.
• Climate changes, energy futures,
water availability, low-carbon
living, waste management, and so
on, are some problems that are in
urgent need for solutions, which
sustainable engineers address.
• Develop and encourage concepts of
resource efficiency and eco-design.
Future Prospective of Sustainable
Engineering
These are just the tip of iceberg; the
aspects of development and problems
that can be addressed in this field rise
with the growth in the new
technological advancement. The
amalgamation of interdisciplinary
sectors of engineering will have a huge
impact on how this field progresses.
st
In the 21 century, there is a dire need
for engineers to design and develop
products and structures that are energy
efficient, can be produced in bulk, have
a very low impact on the environment
and basically reduce the emissions of
pollutants. One needs to set long term
and short term goals to achieve
minimum use of fossil fuel resources
and reduce the waste generated from
engineering processes and products to
a bare minimum. To attain this goal,
more students should be made aware of
the advantages of sustainable
engineering, and choose it as a career
option.

STRATEGIES
for being a Successful New-Age
ENGINEERING
CONSULTANT
Engineering Consultants are
the one offering expert
advice on a subject and
bringing a different perspective to
virtually any engineering project.
Creating innovative solutions
catering to engineering or
science-related matters from
industries and construction firms to
governments and other interested
developers is what makes an
engineering consultant distinctive.
But providing independent expert
opinion service, or solutions is not
an easy task.
With fast paced technological
advancements and growing
customer demands, it is essential
for an engineering consultant of
today to have a hands-on
experience along with capabilities
to fulfill their multifaceted roles.
Being project-specific is not the
only criteria, an advisor and
catalyst providing actionable
decisions are also significant in
|October 2018|
43

driving a project beyond the horizons. Enhancing their
decision-making skills and affiliation are few keys that
would surely help the emerging engineering consultants in
unlocking the success doors.
Right Tools and Materials
Converting ideas into reality needs a hardware-specific
co-working space. Making a checklist of the vital tools like
a mountable light fixture, 3D printer etc. would be of great
use for ideation, designing, modeling, prototyping and
crafting-out an exceptional project. Access to these tools
along with few up-front investments in time and money can
help out a consultant in the long run.
Building Connections and Communicating with Clients
Recognizing the opportunities is one of the major
challenges for the existing as well as emerging engineering
consultants. Learning from the people around, and buildingup
connections can convert every obstacle into an
opportunity. Uncovering the industry needs, by interacting
with the people of various backgrounds can help the
consultants in developing their own skill sets. Further,
going to the industry meet-ups in an area is also a great way
to start.
Predicting the complexities and updating the clients about
the delays as well as progress would build a sense of trust in
them. Calling out in-person meetings and showing what’s
done and what’s coming next can successfully help the
engineering consultants to create its niche in the industry.
Additionally, taking about the future projects can help the
consultants in retaining the existing clients and empower
upcoming client engagements.
Smart Quoting and Planning
Asking people who have done similar projects is a good
place to start which can help the consultants in quoting the
right projects as quoting a project for the first time is
difficult. This will also help them with smart planning of the
cost-plus contracts, production and labor costs. Scheduling
a project depends on a bandwidth and smart planning that
would make it flexible enough for on-time delivery and
client's delight.
Make a Difference
People come to consultants for various reasons; they don’t
have the time to come up with solutions, in search of right
guidance, or the lack of expertise. Painting a canvas of
results can help the clients in perceiving the engineering
consultants as a trustworthy problem-solver. Creating value
with expertise and thinking intelligently about what people
will need can strengthen ones persona will surely make a
difference in the society. Introducing a solution, defending
it, and implementing it completely will surely guide the
clients to come back to a consultant. Embracing changes,
exploring every entity of the project and generating
profitable results would help the emerging consultants in
achieving milestones and developing a one-of-its-kind
history. Constantly thinking of solutions to a variety of
engineering problems and preparing for the possible
scenarios is one of the best ways to add bigger piece to the
success pie. As a consultant, one should have that firm
grasp of knowledge, ideas, and opinions. Delivering a
strong point of view will create a win-win situation as
people hire consultants for their idea and opinions.
Taking project related operations as a challenge and
keeping client satisfaction as the prime motto, an
engineering consultant can transform the engineering
services world. Prominent market capabilities attained by a
consultant would show clients they are the best man or
woman for the job. Besides, being persistent and dedicated
towards the work is amongst the leading strategies for being
a successful New-Age engineering consultant.
The Future Canvas
The future of engineering consultancy require a new and
more co-operative relationship between the customer and
the consultant. The emerging tech-based trends will make
the solutions easier to implement leading to a platform that
will dissolve the boundary line between customer and the
consultant. In the coming years, this relationship would
turn-out to be an efficient partnership boosting economic
and environmental sustainability. This will make the
engineering consulting world highly agile. New growth
opportunities would arise for the consultants which will
expediently ignite new skills in them.
These opportunities can also prove to be a game-changer
for the small-to-medium-sized engineering firms. The
coming future will witness path breaking business models
that would transform the traditional economic and
operational models. Business strategies related to
engineering consultancy would transform into a new
framework of efficiency and agility along with a significant
cost and value proposition.
