About CERi
Engineering that
responds to the site.
CERi Ltd is a Kigali-based civil engineering consultancy focused on the relationship between land, water and the built environment.
Our purpose
Practical infrastructure for resilient places.
We support clients and multidisciplinary project teams with civil design, technical assessments and construction-stage advice.
Our work connects site grading, drainage, water supply, wastewater, access roads and the routing of utility networks. By considering these systems together, we help teams make informed decisions about levels, space, servicing and long-term operation.
Our purpose is to design practical civil infrastructure that serves communities, manages water responsibly and responds to local environmental conditions.
Our perspective
What regenerative infrastructure means to us.
For CERi, regenerative infrastructure means looking for opportunities to improve how a site functions as part of its wider environment.
This can include retaining and reusing rainfall, supporting infiltration where the site allows, reducing erosion and integrating planted drainage features into the landscape.
Each recommendation must be appropriate for its setting and supported by the necessary technical assessment.
