  Post Graduate Engineer

  I have been involved in various water treatment plant (WTP) projects in Goa, including the construction of a 27 MLD WTP on Khandepar River at Opa and a 25 MLD WTP on Madai River at Ganjem. Additionally, I worked on the preparation of a Detailed Project Report for the Ulve Regional Water Supply Scheme.For these projects, my responsibilities included carrying out basic and detailed engineering tasks for the water treatment plants. I conducted process design calculations, head loss calculations, and hydraulic flow diagrams. I also prepared general arrangement drawings, layouts, and design reports for the WTPs.I coordinated with the mechanical and electrical teams to ensure proper integration of the intake and pump house components. I oversaw the inspection of various components of the water treatment plant, such as the intake well, pump house, aerator, clariflocculator, rapid sand filter, and chemical house.In addition to the WTPs, I conducted population forecasting and water demand calculations. I designed the hydraulic system for water transmission and distribution, including rising and gravity mains, using WaterGEMS software in compliance with CPHEEO guidelines. Show less

  Assistant Manager

  In my role as a consultant, I have been involved in several water supply projects in Gujarat, India, including the Sagbara and Dediyapada Regional Water Supply Scheme and the Narmada River-Based 12 Water Supply Schemes in Dahod District. These projects have a combined cost of €170 million and were carried out for the GWSSB.For both schemes, I conducted population forecasting, water demand calculations, and topographical analysis. I designed the hydraulic systems using WaterGEMS software, prepared drawings for the water distribution network, and conducted capacity calculations for storage reservoirs and pumping stations. I also coordinated with mechanical and electrical disciplines to ensure project compatibility and prepared cost estimates, detailed project reports, and tender documents.In another project, I provided project management consultancy and construction supervision for water supply projects in Gujarat. This involved reviewing the water distribution pipe network, assessing the design of water treatment plants, and performing proof checking of general arrangement drawings for various components.

  Design Engineer

  I have been involved in various infrastructure projects, including those at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and projects for Endurance Ltd., TVS Motors Hosur, and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) in Andhra Pradesh.At Kempegowda International Airport, I prepared the hydraulic design for the stormwater drainage network, developed utility corridors, and ensured clash resolution for wet and dry utilities. I also contributed to flood management studies and the design of ponds along the main road as per landscape concept.For Navi Mumbai International Airport, I played a key role in the preparation of the integrated utility master plan, including the hydraulic design of pressure and gravity networks, stormwater retention ponds, and pollution control measures. Coordination with various disciplines and assistance in producing engineering drawings were also part of my responsibilities.In projects for Endurance Ltd., TVS Motors Hosur, and ONGC, I prepared hydraulic designs for stormwater drainage networks, sewerage networks, and Water supply networks. I utilized software such as SewerGEMS and WaterGEMS for hydraulic design. Clash resolution, coordination with other disciplines, and support in producing engineering drawings were integral parts of these projects. Show less

  With a diverse range of infrastructure projects across the UK, Hong kong and Srilanka, I have consistently delivered high-quality results. Notably, I have worked on the Hinkley Point C power plant in the UK, M5J9 stormwater drainage strategy for highways, the stormwater drainage system for Hong Kong International Airport, and the Colombo Port City project in Sri Lanka.At Hinkley Point C, I led a team in designing hydraulic systems for water, wastewater, and stormwater networks, ensuring compliance with design standards. I utilized Micro Drainage software to create efficient designs In addition, I prepared reports, design risk assessments, and specifications for wet utilities.For the M5J9 project, I conducted assessments and designed stormwater conveyance systems, proposing attenuation ponds and controlled flow measures. At Hong Kong International Airport, I updated drainage models, analyzed flood volumes, and recommended mitigation measures using Infoworks CS software.In Colombo Port City, I utilized SewerGEMS software to model storm and foul sewer networks, updating Civil3D models based on client requirements. I resolved clashes with utilities using NAVIS Works and provided timely resolutions to construction queries. Show less I possess extensive experience in managing and contributing to diverse infrastructure projects in the Middle East, specifically in Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Within these positions, I have actively participated in the oversight of large-scale developments, such as the Qetaifan Island North - Aquatar Water Park and Icon Island in Qatar, Mirfa Bay in the UAE, Al Kharj Residential Development in Saudi Arabia, and the Tilal Al Ghaf Phase-2 Development in the UAE.My primary responsibilities have encompassed the design and coordination of Wet utility networks, encompassing hydraulic design, the implementation of pollution control measures, and ensuring compliance with local regulations and standards. To achieve these goals, I have effectively utilized software tools like Micro Drainage, SewerGEMS, and WaterGEMS to model and optimize both pressure and gravity systems.Furthermore, I have collaborated closely with multidisciplinary teams, including landscape architects, mechanical and structural engineers, and building services experts, to ensure seamless project execution. In addition, I have supervised the BIM team in the preparation of Civil3D models, clash resolution, and drawings.Additionally, I have authored technical reports to provide comprehensive documentation of my work. Through my expertise in stormwater management, hydraulic design, and utility coordination, I have significantly contributed to the successful implementation of these projects. Show less
