As part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, my role involves designing and analysing building penetrations for nuclear facilities, focusing on factors such as interface loads, seismic activity, and pressure forces. Evaluating various opening solutions for cost-effectiveness and suitability, ensuring safety functions such as confinement, fire protection, and shielding requirements are met. Using software like STAAD Pro, I conduct Finite Element Modelling to ensure structural integrity. Detailed technical specifications covering loading conditions, material selection, and installation procedures are authored, while analysis results are documented in comprehensive reports. I also conduct independent technical reviews and support the Construction Team by addressing Requests for Information and Field Change Request forms, ensuring smooth project execution and adherence to safety standards throughout construction.

In my diverse engineering portfolio, I've undertaken various projects across various industries and locations. At IEFCL Nigeria, I engaged in detailed engineering for HRSG, analyzing and designing turbine building and HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator) foundations using STAAD Pro in accordance with American codes. Similarly, in the FARAKKA FGD project, I contributed to the analysis and design of absorber foundations using Indian codes, alongside modelling structures with TEKLA software. My involvement in skid designs (water treatment platforms) required thorough analysis, design modifications, and coordination with vendors. Additionally, I've contributed to projects like the implementation of FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) as per new environmental norms and detailed engineering services for power stations in India, showcasing my expertise in design reports, coordination, and site implementation for civil and structural works across a spectrum of projects.

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

As a structural engineer, I contributed to two significant projects: the Seismic Margin Assessment at Narora Atomic Power Plant and the construction of the Second Vehicle Assembly Building for ISRO. At Narora, I focused on studying the service building, preparing STAAD Pro models, and crafting design reports in alignment with IS codes. This involved meticulous analysis of structural and RCC data to ensure seismic resilience. Meanwhile, in the ISRO project, my responsibilities included STAAD Pro modelling, adherence to IS codes, and leveraging Revit and NavisWorks for 3D modelling. I also created a comprehensive construction simulation 4D model using NavisWorks, enhancing project visualization and coordination.
