River Net Consulting

What River Net Consulting does

River Net Consulting Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian private limited engineering consultancy founded in 2008 and headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor. The firm specializes in river engineering, hydrodynamic modelling, flood-mitigation planning, water-resources studies, river-environment analysis, and geospatial data visualisation, serving primarily Malaysian federal, state, and municipal government agencies responsible for flood management and drainage infrastructure, alongside selected private-sector clients such as utility operator TNB.

The company's service offering is organized into four practice areas — Hydrological & Hydraulic Analysis, Water Resources, River Environment, and Geospatial Analysis & Data Visualisation — delivered through project-based consultancy engagements using industry-standard tools including the MIKE software suite, ArcGIS, QGIS, Global Mapper, AutoCAD, and Python. Core deliverables include flood mitigation master plans, integrated river-basin management studies, hydraulic design for pumping systems, water-quality modelling, erosion and sediment control design, dam-break studies, and remote-sensing analysis using satellite and UAV imagery. The firm positions itself around sustainable, low-intervention river engineering that prioritizes restoring rivers to natural states over hard-engineering solutions.

Revenue is earned through per-project professional-services fees negotiated with government agencies and private developers. Customer acquisition is sales-led, relying on direct project bidding, professional networks, and referrals rather than intermediated channels. The firm is led by Managing Director Gs. Malida Marjan and Principal Ir. Ts. Abd Jalil Hassan, with a total headcount of approximately ten employees. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding.

Broad incumbents

• Mott MacDonald: Mott MacDonald operates a global water and environment practice delivering river basin management, hydraulic modelling, and climate resilience consulting. It competes for larger Malaysian infrastructure and donor-funded water projects where River Net currently acts as a local specialist.
• SMEC (Surbana Jurong): SMEC, part of the Surbana Jurong group, is a large Asia-Pacific engineering consultancy with hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources practices and a strong presence in Malaysia. It competes for the same state-level flood and drainage master plans that River Net services.
• Stantec: Stantec's Water practice covers hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, river restoration, and integrated watershed management, and it has APAC offices that bid into Malaysian-adjacent work. It is a broad incumbent peer rather than a Malaysia-only specialist.
• Binnies (Surbana Jurong): Binnies is a UK-originated water and environmental engineering consultancy, now under Surbana Jurong, focused on flood management, river engineering, and water resources. It overlaps directly with River Net's core hydraulics and IRBM offering.
• AECOM: AECOM delivers large-scale water resources, flood control, and environmental engineering services globally, including in Southeast Asia, and competes for state-level water master-plan mandates that overlap with River Net's scope.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Royal HaskoningDHV runs a global water and flood risk consulting practice covering hydraulic modelling, river basin management, and water resources, and actively serves Southeast Asian clients. It overlaps with River Net's IRBM and flood mitigation work at much larger scale.
• Arup: Arup provides water engineering, flood risk, and climate adaptation advisory globally with APAC offices. It is comparable as a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy that overlaps with River Net's flood mitigation and water resources work.
• WSP Global: WSP is a major global engineering consultancy with an Earth & Environment water practice spanning hydrology, flood management, and water resources. It is comparable to River Net as a full-service environment and water consultant though at much greater scale.

Direct peers

• DHI Group: DHI is the developer of the MIKE software suite that River Net uses for hydrodynamic modelling, and also operates as a global water-environment consulting firm. It is the most direct functional peer, competing for the same flood modelling, IRBM, and water quality assignments at a global scale.

Regional players

• Tonkin + Taylor: Tonkin + Taylor is an Asia-Pacific environmental and engineering consultancy with strong hydraulics and flood management practices in New Zealand and Australia. It is comparable on technical focus, though it primarily serves Australasia rather than Malaysia.
