investigation/engineering studies at various levels for multi-storeyed complexes, industrial buildings,
embankments, bridges, water-retaining structures, subways, pavements, offshore platforms,
pipelines, mobile drilling units etc. With a wealth of experience, he has developed extensive
expertise in conducting thorough analyses of drilled shafts and bored piles, assessing their integrity
and determining their load-carrying capacity. His impressive track record spans across significant
infrastructure projects, both in India and abroad, showcasing his ability to tackle complex challenges
on a large scale.
He has undertaken pile drivability studies, jack-up rig foundation investigations and design including
jackup rig moves. He was involved in the pile installation, monitoring of several offshore platforms,
and has served QA/QC Engineer for several onshore and offshore Geotechnical Investigations , His
sphere of activities has extended beyond from India to South East Asia , middle East, Africa and
USA
He is an authorised trainer of Pile Dynamics Inc, USA
