Henok Temesgen
@henoktemesgen
I design resilient water, wastewater, irrigation, and urban infrastructure systems across East Africa.
What I'm looking for
I've designed water, wastewater, irrigation, drainage, and sanitation infrastructure across Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Angola, and Somalia for more than a decade.
At Nicholas O'Dwyer Ltd JV MS Consultancy PLC, I design sewerage networks and wastewater treatment infrastructure for Addis Ababa's Eastern Catchment, a system expected to serve more than 2.1 million people by 2045. My work includes detailed designs, layouts, specifications, BOQs, and cost estimates for Kiteme and Kotebe secondary sewer networks.
Across UNICEF and KfW's East Africa R-WASH Programme, I delivered feasibility studies, resilient water and sanitation designs, construction supervision, and quality control for refugees, IDPs, and host communities.
I've contributed to more than 30 multidisciplinary projects, using AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, WaterGEMS, BIM, and quantity surveying to turn feasibility findings into practical, sustainable infrastructure solutions.
