Cairo, Egypt

Performed structural analysis and design for several structural steel projects. Revised the structural design and shop drawings of different steel structures. Performed consultancy site visits to different project locations. Proposed various economic structural steel systems and solved major constructability issues. Key Contributions to Selected Projects:• Performed structural analysis and design checks required for design optimization of “Majid Al Futtaim” Roadway and Railway steel Bridge with free spans of 230 ft that resulted in 20% savings of the total project cost – Cairo, Egypt. (https://goo.gl/maps/W4uPHvH1mkd8AGhX7)• Developed a construction plan for the “Majid Al Futtaim Bridge” that reduced the bridge superstructure erection to only two nights despite the site challenges. My plan helped reduce the traffic impact on a major traffic route “Ring Road” in greater Cairo – Egypt.• Participated in the structural and seismic design, developing design drawings, and revising shop drawings of a 2 km length steel pipe rack system, a steel tank for liquid chemicals, and various industrial steel platforms and warehouses with high impact machine loads as a part of the NCIC Chemical Factory (40 acres land footprint and 1,500 tons of structural steel) in the 6th of October City – Egypt. (https://www.nasrchemicals.com/EnMain.html)• Participated in the structural design, developing design drawings, and field visits for various steel canopies and buildings of multiple gas stations for different companies (e.g. Shell and Exxon Mobile) – Cairo, Egypt. • Performed preliminary structural analysis and design and provided cost estimates for two structural steel warehouses with free spans of 200 ft and 280 ft long in Saudi Arabia

Ismailia, Egypt

Performed structural analysis and design for different steel and concrete structures. Prepared cost estimates, project quotes, and bill of quantities (BQ) documents for various projects. Performed field inspections and consultancy visits to many project sites. Key Contributions to Selected Projects:• Prepared BQ documents for various renovation and new construction concrete and steel projects.• Participated in developing construction quotes and contractor contracts for the excavation works of the giant project the 72 km long new Suez Canal with a total cost of $8.2 bn.• Supervised the construction and architectural finishing of various concrete army shelters and participated in supervising the construction of the 65 km long Suez Canal security wall. • Performed structural analysis and design for a steel pedestrian bridge, Suez Canal watchtowers, and different concrete army shelters.
