SPT Offshore Geotechnical Engineer Vlad started off as a part-time employee (while writing Master Thesis), creating a geotechnical database with all past projects, collecting relevant information and centralizing them with GIS. The part-time work was independent of the Master Thesis. Vlad is currently a full-time employee performing geotechnical engineering and consultation regarding feasibility, design and installation of suction piles and suction pile foundations. Projects: • Ophir WHP Relocation to Jitang - World first wellhead platform relocation in one piece offshore Malayisia. Geotechnical verification of Suction Pile Foundation feasibility and installation design for new location (API WSD Approach) • BOP Foundation - Geotechnical Detailed Design and Installation for a Suction Pile Cluster Foundation for a Blow Out Preventer (BOP) Offshore China in Water Depths >1200m • Seagreen Wind Energy - Compilation of Design Data and Design Methology for Detailed Design of SIWT (Suction Installed Wind Turbine) jacket for 9MW wind turbine (LRFD approach) • IOG Blythe and Southwark - Geotechnical Detailed Design and Installation Design for two suction pile foundations. The suction pile foundations are used for the jackets of two wellhead platforms in the UK Sector of the North Sea. • CNOOC Liuhua 11-1 Oil Fiend development FPSO Moorings - Geotechnical Detailed Design and Installation Design for Suction Anchors for the anchoring of a 80000 tons cylindrical FPSO Offshore China, Water Depth >300m. • CNOOC Lufeng 12-3 Oil Field Development FPSO Moorings- Geotechnical Detailed Design and Installation Design for Driven Anchors for the anchoring of FPSO Offshore China, Water Depth>200m. • Equinor Bacalhau FPSO Moorings - Geotechnical Detailed Design and Installation Design for Suction Anchors for the anchoring of FPSO in the Bacalhau Field, within the Santos Basin, offshore Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Water Depth>2100m.

Jan 2016 - Jul 2017
During my first master year, I was the president of the KBR committee. The committee organises a study trip every year to an international destination, where construction projects are to be visited. Twenty students and a PHD supervisor have joined the study trip to Italy . We managed to secure three projects. As the president, I had to keep track of the big picture and keep close contact with the project managers in order to make sure everything will go according to plan. The trip was a big success.
