A line drawn across the river.

Every load has a path to the ground.

Built so people can stand under it.

Selected work

Four jobs, and what they asked of me.

  1. Concrete piers rising out of a river while a launching gantry places a span.

    Sample project

    Kharadi River Flyover

    Problem
    42 spans on soft riverbed silt, monsoon four months out.
    Role
    Site engineer, substructure.
    Outcome
    Piers handed over 11 days early.
  2. A precast metro viaduct span lifted into place by a gantry crane over a closed night road.

    Sample project

    Metro Viaduct, Package 3

    Problem
    1.8 km of precast spans over live traffic.
    Role
    Erection planning and night-shift sequencing.
    Outcome
    Erected with no daytime road closures.
  3. A vast freshly finished warehouse concrete floor with a power float at the far edge.

    Sample project

    Warehouse Slab, Chakan

    Problem
    6,000 sqm of floor that had to hold flat under racking loads.
    Role
    QC and mix trials.
    Outcome
    Certified on the first pass.
  4. A steep cut slope above a mountain road being stabilised with rock bolts and shotcrete.

    Sample project

    Ghat Slope Stabilisation

    Problem
    A failing cut slope above a two-lane carriageway.
    Role
    Design coordination on site.
    Outcome
    Rock bolts and drainage built inside one closure window.

Method

How a job actually runs.

  1. 0+00

    Read the ground.

    Soil, water and what the site will let you do.

  2. 0+20

    Draw the load path.

    How force gets from the deck to the pile.

  3. 0+40

    Sequence the work.

    What gets built first, and what waits.

  4. 0+60

    Stand under it.

    Checks, tests, and a handover someone can walk.
