- Conduct a geotechnical analysis and investigation to evaluate the state of the construction site.
- Used test trenches and bores to collect soil samples from the project's intended location, and conducted study on the soil's quality and stress-bearing elements to see whether problems with slope, erosion, and settlement constituted a safety concern to the proposed projects.
- Analyze geotechnical findings, perform appropriate calculations, and prepare data reports to Manager.
- Develop proposals and determine cost and schedule for investigations.
- Effectively plan and carry out geotechnical exploration.
- Taking part in project planning and monitoring, which results in the project's completion at each phase.
- coordinating temporary projects, erecting prefabricated steel buildings, and keeping an eye on construction projects.
- Supervised casting work of beams, columns, and slabs.
- Managed construction permit applications, invoice/agreement verification, project documentation, on-site project visits, cost of materials estimations, report and document tracking, and project documentation.
- performing out analysis, structural design, and supervising the creation of work drawings for a 4-story office building with a concrete frame and a 4-story steel and RC substation and generator structure.
- Assisted civil engineers on several significant government projects including the construction and development of roadways, strategies for reducing traffic congestion, and the replacement of ageing bridges.
