As a Geologist at Terre Armee, my role involves a multifaceted approach to geotechnical projects. I am responsible for conducting thorough geotechnical investigations to assess soil and rock properties, which are crucial for the design and construction phases. My duties include reviewing geotechnical reports to ensure they meet accuracy and compliance standards, as well as overseeing and interpreting lab tests to evaluate material properties. In addition, I conduct field geological mapping to understand site conditions and support design assessments for slopes and retaining walls. My role integrates field and lab data to provide comprehensive design solutions, ensuring both safety and engineering excellence in our projects.

It is a construction project that seeks a multidisciplinary approach to meet the project requirements.

Worked as a geotechnical engineer in the TAAPF Project, NEOM, Tabuk Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It involved geological mapping to define the ground type to imply a corresponding support system. Also, probe hole drilling to assess possible ground variations ahead to avoid sudden geological surprises.

This work was related to identifying past earthquake signatures along the mountain front in the NE Himalayas, India. As this region witnessed the largest (Mw 8.6) known Himalayan earthquake on the 15th of August 1950. Our findings were the first of their kind in this part by using the paleoseismological technique.

MoES Project

This work was related to analyzing and compiling the field and laboratory test results to provide geotechnical recommendations for ground improvement, foundation, etc. During this, I got exposed to many geotechnical field and laboratory tests, and sampling procedures performed in soil and rock strata.
