Responsibilities

Bridge Engineer

Chennai Elevated Double-Decker Bridge Project

I have strong expertise in conducting essential geotechnical and structural tests such as:

• Pile Load Tests (PLT)

  — including Initial and Routine Load Tests to determine the safe load-carrying capacity, settlement characteristics, and overall performance of piles.

• Plate Load Tests (PLT)

• Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)

  to determine SBC of soil

• Bridge Load Tests

  to evaluate superstructure behaviour, load carrying capacity, and deflection limits

These tests ensure that foundations and superstructures meet the required safety and performance standards.

I have supervised rehabilitation, strengthening, and repair works of existing bridges, preparing rectification measures and ensuring long-term performance of structural elements.

Major achievements include supervising the execution of complex structural works such as:

• A

  43-metre I-Girder span

  with

  42-degree skew

  , forming part of a challenging interchange structure.
• A

  45-metre bowstring girder

  in a Railway Over Bridge (ROB), including assembly, shifting, and erection using a winch-based arrangement.
• Successful shifting and erection of

  316 I-girders

  with precise alignment, level, camber, and bearing installation.

Change of Scope (COS)

environmental monitoring

My technical knowledge, leadership skills, and strong site execution experience allow me to deliver structurally sound, safe, and high-quality bridge works across all project stages
