Enplan Group has extensive experience in typically arid, semi arid and wet areas. In Nigeria, due to the diversity of land forms and practices, the firm has been involved in projects that have stark variations in climate, soil, culture and land tenancy.
The firm had been involved in the detailed design, construction, and supervision of canal and drainage systems for a large variety of soils requiring different supply systems; including precast forms, unlined canals to clay linings, and concrete linings to piped systems. We have also designed various manual and automated control structures, as well as myriad canal networks to suit different requirements, in order to facilitate efficient distribution and management of irrigation water.
At Enplan Group, Irrigation and Drainage is viewed as a multi- disciplinary project. Consequently, Enplan Group has integrated Community Awareness and Community Participation into our irrigation and drainage projects. It is our belief that sustainable development can only be attained when the communities are involved. Most projects we have carried out using this approach have been successful.

Enplan Group has been involved in the investigation, survey, planning and engineering designs of a number of water supply and sewerage schemes. The scope of work carried out include:
The firm’s experience in agricultural development includes irrigated agriculture involving the design of gravity canals, piped irrigation systems (sprinklers, drip etc), and flumes (elevated pre-cast canals) to name a few. Major projects often necessitate the study and improvement of the agricultural practice within a particular project area.
The agricultural investigations usually include detailed studies; surveying and sampling of the ecology and agricultural production; identification of crop varieties, yields, and production rates; analysis of cost of production and income; and proposing methods to improving the agricultural output for the different areas encountered.
The first major dam project undertaken by Enplan Group was the Kiri Dam at Numan, Gongola State (present Adamawa State) for the Savannah Sugar Company. Since then the firm has been responsible for major schemes and a vast number of projects including, the feasibility studies, detailed design and contract documentation, and construction supervision for 38 small earth dams within Katsina State in Nigeria. The firm has also been involved in dam safety appraisals covering major and small dams all over Nigeria, as well as in the alleviation of potential dam failure.
Enplan Group was involved in the redesign of the 3.68 km dam in Jibiya under Jibiya Irrigation cum Water Supply Project for the Federal Government of Nigeria. The dam which was the first of its kind in Africa was redesigned incorporating a geo-dam (which comprises geo-membrane composites) on the upstream slope and geo-textiles material on the downstream to provide protection to the aeolic sand embankment.
Enplan Group has been pivotal in advancing groundwater development, introducing modern techniques and practice in the Northern Arid Zone of Nigeria.
