What Advanced Engineering Consultations | ADVEC does

Advanced Engineering Consultations (ADVEC) is a multidisciplinary B2B engineering consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in Mohandessin, Giza, Egypt, operating across four service segments: Energy & Power Systems (microgrids, renewable integration, substation engineering, protection coordination, energy efficiency, RTDS), Digital Solutions (IoT, automation, data analytics, BI, AI integration), MEP (electrical, ELV, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection with BIM coordination), and Testing & Commissioning (substation testing, relay testing, power quality, PV plant commissioning). The firm combines advanced simulation tools — ETAP, DIgSILENT, HAP E20, DesignBuilder, IES-VE, Autodesk Revit MEP, Navisworks, BIM 360 — with proprietary methodologies for grid code compliance and grid impact studies on PV projects ranging from sub-1 MWp to multi-GW scale.

ADVEC serves industrial, governmental, utility, construction, and renewable energy clients across 19+ countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Uganda. Notable client engagements include grid impact analysis for EETC on the 1,645 MWp Benban PV project, electromagnetic-transient studies with CESI on the 2.6 GW Shuaibah PV Plant in Saudi Arabia, HV substation and protection studies with Assystem on the 6–8 GW Tabuk PV developments, grid compliance studies for SCATEC's 500+ MWp Obelisk BESS/PV project, owner's consultation for NEOM MEP design, and multiple PV projects for Coca-Cola Egypt, TAQA Arabia, Siemens, Hassan Allam, and Empower New Energy.

The company generates revenue through fee-for-service engineering consulting engagements on a project-by-project basis — including design engineering, owner's engineering, grid compliance studies, technical advisory, full-scope EPC protection engineering for PV/CHP projects, and testing & commissioning with optional equipment rental. Distribution is purely direct-to-enterprise via B2B sales, project referrals, and strategic channel partnerships with industrial developers (e.g., IDG), EPC firms, and international engineering partners (CESI, Assystem). No public pricing or rate card is disclosed; quotations are quote-based per project. The firm is privately held with no disclosed outside investors, led by CEO Ahmed Sallam.

Revenue model

1. Engineering Consulting and Design Services: ADVEC generates revenue through fee-for-service engineering consulting engagements across its four specialized segments: Energy & Power System, Digital Solutions, MEP, and Testing & Commissioning. Services include design engineering, grid compliance studies, owner engineering, and technical advisory—delivered on a per-project basis for clients across industrial, governmental, and utility sectors. Projects range from small-scale PV compliance studies (under 1 MWp) to multi-GW solar plant engineering partnerships.
2. Testing and Commissioning Services: ADVEC provides electrical testing and commissioning services for substations, medium and low voltage infrastructure, PV plants (cold and hot testing), and industrial power systems. Revenue is generated through project-based service contracts that may include equipment rental, on-site testing, and performance verification deliverables.
3. EPC Scope – Protection Engineering: For certain PV and CHP projects, ADVEC delivers full EPC-scope reverse power protection systems, encompassing engineering design, procurement of relays and breakers, installation supervision, testing, and commissioning. This represents a more comprehensive, higher-value engagement model with hardware and labor components.
