Geotechnical Engineer (Geology)
Vision International Gen. Trading & Contracting Co.
Kuwait City
12.2016 - 02.2022
- Direct a of team 18 personnel to the integration of all activities ensuring successful initiation, planning & scheduling of projects.
- Site Investigation: Conducting field investigations to assess the geotechnical conditions of a site. This may involve drilling boreholes, collecting soil and rock samples, and conducting in-situ tests to determine soil properties such as density, strength, permeability, and settlement characteristics. Also, conduct geophysical tests if required.
- Geotechnical Analysis: Performing geotechnical analysis and calculations to assess the stability, bearing capacity, and slope stability of the soil or rock mass. Analyzing laboratory test results, conducting geotechnical modeling, and using software to simulate soil behavior.
- Foundation Design: Designing foundations for various structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, and retaining walls. This involves determining the appropriate foundation type, size, and depth based on the soil conditions and structural requirements. Common foundation types include shallow foundations, deep foundations (e.g., piles), and specialized foundations (e.g., mat foundations).
- Earthworks and Slope Stability: Assessing the stability of slopes and embankments to ensure they can safely support the applied loads. This may involve analyzing slope stability, designing slope reinforcement measures, and providing recommendations for mitigating potential geotechnical hazards such as landslides.
- Geotechnical Reports: Preparing comprehensive geotechnical reports that summarize the findings of site investigations, analysis, and design recommendations. These reports are typically used by other engineers, architects, and construction professionals to guide the construction process and ensure compliance with geotechnical requirements.
- Construction Monitoring: Monitoring construction activities to ensure that geotechnical recommendations and design specifications are followed. This involved observing excavation, foundation construction, and soil improvement techniques to assess their quality and adherence to the design intent.
- Soil Improvement Techniques: Recommending and designing soil improvement measures to enhance the engineering properties of weak or problematic soils. This can include methods such as soil stabilization, compaction, grouting, and ground improvement techniques like vertical drains or soil mixing.
- Collaboration and Communication: Collaborating with other professionals, such as structural engineers, architects, and construction managers, to ensure the integration of geotechnical considerations into the overall project design. Effective communication skills are essential for presenting findings, discussing design alternatives, and addressing any geotechnical challenges or constraints.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers and geophysicists, to interpret geological data mainly seismic, gravity, magnetic, and electromagnetic data to get underground data.
- Monitor drilling operations to ensure adherence to safety and environmental regulations.
- Prepare reports summarizing geological findings and recommending future drilling locations.
- Maintain acceptable KPI's as per the integrated management system (IMS). Achieved 90% KPI for customer's satisfaction for two consecutive years (2019 & 2020).
- Evaluate team performance and determine training needs to meet performance objectives.
- Review and approve geological designs developed by third party consultants.
- Adhere to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OSHAS 18001 procedures.
