About MEHADA

A Lesotho-based consulting engineering practice built on decades of hands-on infrastructure delivery.

Our story

From Universal Engineering to MEHADA

MEHADA Engineering Consulting traces back to 1994, founded as Universal Engineering Consulting by engineers who had practiced across water, wastewater, roads and environmental projects locally and abroad. The practice was incorporated in the Kingdom of Lesotho in 2016 as MEHADA Engineering Consulting (Pty) Ltd, and has since delivered some of Maseru’s most significant water supply and industrial infrastructure projects.

We work on the principle that good infrastructure consulting means integrating sound engineering with ecological awareness and cost discipline — not treating them as trade-offs.
