proposal to replace composite deck slab at various floor levels with
MS chequer plates where possible instead of composite slabs at all
levels suggested by client, held several meetings with client and
mutually agreed to have composite slab only at locations where
manual inspection was inevitable; engineering judgement reduced
self-weight of structure by 15%, reduced steel quantity by 20%,

Certifications 2600 tonnes, required safe bearing capacity at site 2.5 Met. below
natural ground level being 10.5 t/sqm, challenged with laying
Training in Etabs, Safe massive concrete quantity; called meeting with engineers and
Training in Finite Element redesigned foundation as ring beam section with circular footing 5
Software, STAAD V8i met. wide; reduced concrete quantity by 40% per foundation,
reduced cost of foundation by $288K
MS Excel, Word, MS Office
