Nature of the When I arrive in the factory to explore the existing site conditions, the existing
Work Area production line is operating and the allocated area for the new line, within the
storage warehouse, is fully occupied by the raw material bags and the film rolls
product. I start by instructing the Contractor to investigate the status of the fire
fighting and fire alarm systems in the storage warehouse before commencing
the dismantling of the gable frame of the shed. I have one resident engineer,
one inspector and one draftsman with me, to form the Consultant body on site.
I manage to accomplish all the structural design related issues of the project,

Application of As a Structural Engineer I apply my knowledge and experience in structural
Engineering engineering as follows:
Knowledge and Analysis of R.C. and steel structures using computer simulated models
Skills in the of STAAD, BROKON, SAFE, etc software's.
Project Design of R.C. structures and buildings using the ultimate limit state
(ULS) method for strength and serviceability requirements of BS 8110
to support the action of the design ultimate/service dead, live and
wind load combinations, as specified in BS 6399 to estimate dead and
live loads and CP3:chapter V:part2:1972 to estimate wind loads.
Design of steel structures and frames using the limit state design for
strength and serviceability requirements of BS 5950 for hot rolled
sections and AISC 1989 (allowable stress design) for built-up sections.
Calculate the effect of collateral loads, crane loads (vertical &
horizontal wheel loads with impact), seismic loads (for zone 2A) and
mezzanine loads.
Design of concrete foundations and underground retaining structures
to BS 8004:1986, considering the recommendations developed by the
geotechnical engineer and existing site conditions/foundations, and
design of grade supported slabs along with provision of the required
primary and secondary movement joints.
Design of masonry and block work structures (bearing and non-
bearing elements) to BS 5628 and provide the necessary stiffeners to
support notional and construction loads.
Check and verify the stability of the designed structures by providing
adequate means to transmit the design loads safely from the highest
supported level to the foundations, the layout is integrated to ensure
the interaction between the structural members and lateral forces can
be transferred across the structure and/or down to the foundations by
cross bracing, hair pins, frame action.
Check and verify the robustness of the designed layouts so that they
are not unreasonably susceptible to the effects of accidents and the
damage of small areas of the structure or failure of single elements
will not lead to the collapse of major parts of the structure or
disproportionate collapse.
Specify the material properties and their characteristic strengths,
considering the partial safety factors which account for the differences
between actual and laboratory values, local weakness and assessment
inaccuracies, and the durability requirement which is a function of the
conditions of exposure.
Specify resistance periods for structural elements to possess an
appropriate degree of resistance to flame penetration, heat
transmission and collapse, and to maintain structural integrity to allow
time for the building(s) to be evacuated.

My Delegated My delegated tasks are as follows:
Task and I dentification of client requirements and development constraints with
Accomplishing It. an initial proposal to allow the client to decide whether to proceed and
to select the probable procurement method.
Confirmation of key requirements and constraints including any
existing facilities/structures on the proposal and prepare a site
investigation desk study.
Collaborate on the design with the design team, establish lines of
communication and prepare a stage report for the client.
I nspect the existing structures/facilities and study any
reports/drawings available regarding the same.
Consult the municipality or local authorities about matters of principal
and consider alternative outline solutions for the proposed scheme.
Develop the outlined/detailed structural drawings of the proposals,
specifications, calculations and descriptions with the design team for
submission of municipality application.
Technical There is one particular problem that we encountered which is unique to this
Problem project.
Encountered and Problem During the course of coordinating the new machines
Solution general foundation layout(s), it comes upon that the location of the
waste film recycling underground room, of 4.0m depth, as shown in
the machines foundation layout received from the supplier BR CKNER
intersects the location of the existing shed's spread footings of 1.0m
depth only. Moreover, the trenches connected to this underground
room, of 2.5m depth, also intersect the existing tie beams, of 0.7m
depth, located between the existing spread footings.
Solution The said problem was communicated with the project
manager and accordingly presented to Client's representative. To
develop a problem solving plan the following constrictions were
investigated:
The actual site conditions and restraints were closely surveyed on
site, to verify location, size and arrangement of the existing
foundation system as shown in the "as built drawings" of the shed.
The possibility of demolishing some of the existing spread footings,
were checked out, taking into consideration that a new integrated
supporting system shall be proposed.
Pit/trenches relocation to clear the overlap was proposed and
discussed with the machines supplier to verify the extent of any
possible repositioning.
The machine(s) layout and piping lay down routing in the trenches
were reviewed with the supplier to identify the alternatives.
The solution was concluded in light of the aforementioned
constrictions, and the general machines foundation layout (at the
concerned area), along with the machines interconnected piping
routing, are adjusted to fit within the existing site constraints, but
without affecting the functioning.
However, the excavation of a 4.0m pit adjoining existing loaded
footings of 1.0m depth only, without providing the necessary
protection was another issue which should be tackled. Shoring
system of steel sheet piles was used to protect the soil surrounding
the existing spread footings along with periphery pit dewatering
system was installed before commanding the excavation. The steel
sheet piles were used as it offers many advantages to our case
including:
Reduced foundation construction time and site occupation
Low displacement of soils during driving and arising
Easily removed for site reinstatement
9
Inherent high strength to weight ratio
In conclusion the solution was implemented and achieves its goal of
fitting the required machinery at the available spacing and restraints.
Strategies and The project employed a Consultant and Contractor, for which the
Original design documents to be provided by the Consultant, including the
Technique Architectural, Structural and M&E documents, and the work execution
Applied by a Main Contractor and specialist Subcontractors working under his
umbrella and the surveillance of the Consultant. The specialist
Subcontractors were submitting the required shop drawings and
supporting calculations during the course of construction.
I designed the Project taking into consideration the incorporation of
buildability into the design phase, allow significant additional benefits.
I tried to minimize the work at height and on site, especially if this
work could be carried out at the factory in ideal conditions. I followed
the following design tips to achieve this aim:
Design for repetition and standardization
Design for simplicity of assembly
Design for ease of erection keep it simple
Make allowance for trade interfaces specialist trade contractors
I arranged for scheme management, including co-ordination and
responsibility allocation of supervisory personnel.
I advised the necessary risk assessment requirements to ensure that
all safety precautions have been taken.
Team Work Basically I am a team player, but I am always come out to lead because I am
very vocal and not afraid to take the risk.
When I commenced this project there was no good communication level
between our Project Manager and the Client Representative, and I became the
bridge between the Client and all the members of the Consultant and
Construction team. I lead the team to work in one direction and the site
progress smoothly. I have earned the respect of our resident and site
engineers, structural draftsman and Contractor's project manager, so it is easy
for me to lead.
Summary The project is very challenging as there are a lot of new things to learn in
design and construction techniques and I was given freedom to improve and
implement new systems and alterations. Challenging job is all I want and how
I can apply my creativity, resourcefulness, and engineering knowledge, and
how to adopt in every situation that requires immediate precise decision for an
engineer with my experience. To lead a team of different nationalities is
already a great challenge and you can only do it if you can earn their respect.
