Job Roles and Responsibilities:
Site Investigation:
• Conduct thorough geotechnical site investigations to assess soil and rock conditions.
• Use various techniques, such as boreholes, sampling, and in-situ testing, to collect geotechnical data.
Geotechnical Analysis:
• Analyze geotechnical data to determine soil properties, bearing capacity, and slope stability.
• Evaluate potential geotechnical hazards, such as landslides and sinkholes, and recommend mitigation measures.
Foundation Design:
• Provide engineering recommendations for foundation design based on geotechnical assessments.
• Collaborate with structural engineers to ensure the compatibility of foundation designs with road structures
Earthwork and Material Recommendations:
• Advise on earthwork specifications and construction materials based on soil properties.
• Recommend suitable materials for embankments, subgrade, and road pavement layers.
Geotechnical Report Preparation:
• Prepare comprehensive geotechnical reports, presenting findings, analyses, and engineering recommendations.
• Ensure that reports comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Quality Control and Assurance:
• Implement quality control measures during construction to verify adherence to geotechnical recommendations.
• Monitor and inspect geotechnical aspects of the project to identify potential issues and ensure compliance.
Project Management:
• Collaborate with project managers, stakeholders, and construction teams to coordinate bridge construction activities.
• Develop project schedules, allocate resources, and monitor progress to meet project timelines.
Value Engineering:
• Suggest value engineering options to optimize project foundation design based on geotechnical assessments without compromising quality.
Stakeholder Coordination:
• Collaborate with the design team, project managers, and construction personnel to ensure seamless project bridge construction and exchange information.
• Communicate costs control findings to relevant stakeholders and address any related concerns.
Health and Safety Compliance:
• Ensure adherence to safety guidelines and protocols during geotechnical activities.
• Identify potential safety hazards related to geotechnical activities and implement necessary precautions.
Collaboration and Communication:
• Facilitate communication among project team members and external stakeholders by ensuring the project estimates.
• Provide project estimates to project stakeholders, including consultants’ and contractors.
Reporting:
• Generate regular reports on geotechnical activities estimates status, and any outstanding issues.
• Provide progress updates to project managers and other relevant stakeholders.
