Facilities Design

Planning and designing specific facilities for wildlife conservation projects from breeding facilities, laboratories to full base-camp

Reneco has contributed to the creation of a comprehensive network of Houbara conservation breeding centers. Working closely with our partners, we have designed and developed six cutting-edge facilities in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Qatar.
From initial concepts and strategic planning to facility design and operational optimization, we guide our clients through every step of the process to ensure their conservation centers meet the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability.
