History Alvan Naghsh Sazeh (ANS) was founded in 2007 in I.R.IRAN and has provided civil engineering services at different stages such as, preliminary investigations, supervision and quality control during the construction of projects in order to make qualitative and quantitative progress of civil projects in Iran and neighboring countries. For this purpose, ANS utilizes well-experienced and trained experts and attended in dozens of public and private projects, including towers, heavy oil and water tanks, power plants, industrial and petrochemical complexes, irrigation and drainage projects, oil fields, tourist resorts, residential townships, bridges, pipelines and power transmission lines. ANS has strongly believed in sustainable development with lower cost. we tend to save while keeping our design safe. Our advanced peculiar testing services as well as the ANS expert team support our beliefs. It should be noted that Alvan Nagsh Sazeh Consulting Engineers also has opened its northern branch of Khouzestan at Andimeshk city to provide geotechnical studies, material strength (Soil, Concrete Asphalt, Welding Controls) and quality control of Projects. Also, this company in order to export technical and engineering services has set up and equipped a geotechnical laboratory and a consulting and contracting office in Iraq (Basrah city) since 2013 to participate in civil projects and provide technical services.
