      As part of my responsibilities, I oversaw the technical documentation related to tenders for various construction projects including Expressways, Piling works, Soft soil Improvements, and Earth works. This entailed managing construction methodologies, work programs, and resource planning. Furthermore, I was tasked with preparing design and calculation reports for ground improvement works at the Expressway project. In addition to this, I personally supervised all on-site activities in accordance with approved method statements. Additionally, I managed the machine fleet responsible for earthworks such as embankments and excavations of soil and rock at the Expressway project. As a crucial component of the project, I spearheaded a Borehole Investigation campaign to obtain geotechnical parameters for the design of critical structures such as viaducts and soft soil improvement areas. This undertaking involved directing six drilling teams under my close supervision. Show less
