KEY QUALIFICATIONS
Engineering geologist in practice since 2009. Have over 5 years of experience in the fields
of Geotechnical Engineering, geology and engineering geology. Have been working on
projects in different regions across Pakistan. Major assignments involved landslide
investigations, slope stabilization, geotechnical investigations and geological mapping.
Presently working as engineering geologist at a tunnelling project, the activities involve
supervision of protection and reinforcement (rock bolting) of rocks in slopes and at tunnel
face.
Worked as Assistant Resident Engineer/Resident Engineer for construction supervision of a
Parking facility at Bansra Gali, Murree, Pakistan and investigation of Dewal Landslide
respectively.
Performed geologic mapping and evaluation of steep rock slopes affecting dams, approach
roads and hydro-generation facilities. Also have investigated several large active landslides
severely distressed roadway and residential area including the Jhika Gali and Dewal
Landslides in Murree, Pakistan.
Extensive surface and subsurface investigation, instrumentation and analysis coordination,
logging, and analysis of subsurface exploration programs, including downhole logging of
exploratory borings, geologic mapping of precipitous rock, installation and monitoring of
slope inclinometers and vibrating wire piezometers and was involved in the mitigation of
one of the above mentioned landslides. The stabilization measure being taken for the
restoration of landslide here is Terratrel Reinforcement.
Carried out specialized study of Rockfall hazard assessment in field through a field test and
schematic probabilistic analyses.
Have also been involved in geologic mapping and siting studies for several fault and
landslide constrained reservoirs e.g. reservoir Rim of Neelum Jhelum Hydroelectric Project
in AJ & K, research and compilation of pertinent geologic data, photogeologic mapping
from aerial photographs, large-scale and regional engineering geologic field mapping.
