Included the confirmation of estimates, contractual project commitments and reviewing / approving detailed designs.* Irish Water consultantIdentifying critical gaps with the existing sewage network that included the management of site surveys of key pumping stations and holding stakeholder workshops to determine a valued and sustainable approach to upgrade selection. * Bus Connects - Jacobs Senior design leadManaging a team of 5, responsible for identifying key utility assets impacted by 3 proposed green highway corridor upgrades throughout Dublin. Part of a wider BIM delivery, I also provided Civil 3D support in developing networks for additional industrial developments. Identifying future use cases while negotiating limited site gradients was an important project driver. Show less

Riyad & Dammam - Project design leadThe project involved upgrading two industrial town’s surface water networks (25km) that were undersized and in poor condition. This required 3D Models to be designed to limit flooding levels in extreme rainfall events. I was asked to evaluate the current standing of the work previously produced and estimate the remaining scope to a new tightened timeframe, which involved;* Breaking down project activities and reduced the delivery of smaller… Show more Riyad & Dammam - Project design leadThe project involved upgrading two industrial town’s surface water networks (25km) that were undersized and in poor condition. This required 3D Models to be designed to limit flooding levels in extreme rainfall events. I was asked to evaluate the current standing of the work previously produced and estimate the remaining scope to a new tightened timeframe, which involved;* Breaking down project activities and reduced the delivery of smaller town to create slack in the submission of the larger city and gain client buy in.* I hosted skype meetings with stakeholders, contractors, Jacobs PMs and engineers to walk through the model’s key design flaws and rectify to satisfactory levels.* I worked with UK modellers to prove the flood extents with the client’s representative to regain confidence in the storage design.* Using Navisworks clash reports and projecting GPR utilities to profiles I was able to reduce 1000+ clashes to less than 20 integrated Manholes. I finalised pipe network reports and submitted the model to the contractor to verify design.* Successfully mitigated a damaged client relationship under strained conditions by developing direct channels of work flows to ensure correct data outputs were delivered clearly.
