AFRY Myanmar has its headquarters in Yangon and operates a design office in Mandalay. It undertakes all design drawings (feasibility, basic, tender, detailed, construction and as-built stages including coordination drawings for HSS and EM) for all projects in Myanmar as well as for several international AFRY projects.

The mission of the Mandalay Design Office is to produce world-class hydropower design drawings with local expertise trained for over two decades under direct supervision from Switzerland. The Mandalay Design Office has also been the center for delivering services related to geological investigation, construction site supervision and advisory services for the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) on various transmission lines and thermal projects.

AFRY is a trusted international consultant renowned in Myanmar for its extensive professional experience in hydropower and other energy projects. AFRY has had local experts for over two decades, supporting clients throughout all project stages. This has enabled AFRY to strengthen the competence of their local staff in hydropower design drawing production.
Our well-established and well-equipped office in Mandalay works in close collaboration with other offices in the AFRY network. We have sound insight into the unique attributes of hydropower projects in Myanmar and we support our clients throughout the whole project life cycle.
