About Raad
Dual-registered. Four divisions. One delivery team.
Serving governments, development agencies, and private clients since 2014 (2006 E.C.).

Since our founding, Raad Engineering Consultancy has grown into a trusted multidisciplinary partner across Somaliland and Ethiopia's Somali Regional State. Dual-registered in both jurisdictions, we deliver feasibility studies, detailed design, construction supervision, and geotechnical investigation on donor-financed and government infrastructure.

Our in-house survey capability — Leica GNSS RTK, Zenmuse L1 LiDAR drone, Sokkia total stations, and IPI2win resistivity interpretation — underpins every dam, road, and borehole assignment in our register.
