01
Climate-Resilient Urban Infrastructure – Bangladesh
Clients: ADB & KfW
Emre has supported with hydraulic modelling and preparation of flood maps for major climate resilience and urban infrastructure assignments in Bangladesh, including the Urban Climate Resilient Infrastructure Programme and related feasibility studies for towns affected by flooding and waterlogging.
02
Sibu Cloudburst Master Plan – Malaysia
Client: Sarawak State– Year 2024
Emre conducted hydraulic modelling for a sustainable urban drainage and flood resilience master plan in Sibu, Sarawak. The study assessed flood risk using integrated hydraulic modelling and considered blue-green infrastructure, storage ponds, wetlands and conventional drainage improvements. Emre conducted assessment of the water supply and wastewater systems, GIS analysis, mapping, water demand and wastewater generation calculations.
