Name of Project: Master Planning & Deigning Service for DHA Quetta & DHA PeshawarDHA Quetta and DHA Peshawar is modern, futuristic, peaceful, and smart city environment suiting local needs with equal living and business opportunities for all and sundry. Town planning in done by the SG Architect Urban Designing which is our JV company in these projects and Road design, X-sections, key plans, Electrical design and infrastructure design is done by our side. I lead the highway design section and Cad Section. Vertical profiles of Main Arterial Roads was designed by keeping in view AASHTO standards for vertical design (Minimum curve length, K value on Sag and Hog Curve, Stopping sight distance, Maximum grade and Maximum Grade Length), highest flood level of river and cross drainage structures of approach road.One of the notable challenges posed at the commencement of the project was time limitation. The entire designing including the collection of vital data from primary/secondary sources, data analysis, field studies, and consultation with experts of related fields, culinary to submission of final report was desired to be completed in a span of 9 months. However, by chalking out a workable schedule, due to COVID-19 and planning of design activities, including site visits, meeting/discussion with stake holders, geometric designing, preparation of design drawings and finalization of design report, was accomplished successfully before time, which earned me due appreciation from the Project Manager. It was noted by the Project Manager that quality of work conformed to the internationally recognized quality, to the satisfaction of Client. Deliver projects as per the requisite quality standard and timeline agreed with the Client. Focus on Client’s requirements and anticipate future customer needs. Provide leadership and technical guidance to other Engineers and design staff and promote teamwork.
