EXPERIENCE IN PRESENT EMPLOYMENT SINCE April 2009
Geotechnical Engineer (3 month contract)
Royal Boskalis Westminster, United Arab Emirates

KHALIFA PORT, ABU DHABI
Main duties include testing of dredged reclamation fill by means of Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) and assessing conformity with the contract specifications.
Extensive knowledge for soil improvement techniques:
Surcharging – Monitoring of surcharge settlements on a daily basis. Use of site specific laboratory test (oedometer) data to anticipate immediate, consolidation and creep settlements for 'no preload' and 'preloaded' case scenarios..
Dynamic Compaction – used when the upper 6m exhibits low qc values
Vibro Floatation – Grid spacing calculations carried out (Priebe Method) to obtain an improvement factor to reduce settlements.
Zone Load Tests (5mx5m) – Undertaken for each acceptance area with predicted settlements calculated against measured settlements.
Settlements calculated from cone penetration tests for uniform (50kPa) and shallow foundation (150kPa, Eurocode 7 method) loads.
Routine reclamation testing programme status update using 'Map Info' software package.
Carried out liquefaction anlaysis from CPT data.
