Special Achievements through creative design in real life engineering
Saved around 20 Million dollars’ worth of earthwork just by rotating the whole plant by 180
degrees. 500,000 m3 cut and fill was reduced by simple decision.
Implemented large scale soil stabilization program leading to an overall cost casing of around 10
million dollars in overall construction man hours for Jackfish 3 Project of Devon. Savings in terms
of schedule is unaccounted.
Saved around 30 weeks in construction schedule in construction of Tank foundations by
incorporating Cemtarix Bas and soil stabilization. (Jackfish 3). Jackfish 2 it took around one whole
year and in jackfish 3 same tank pads were build within 4 months.
Saved around $5 million by challenging decision of EPC to go for stone column tank bases (Tank
terminal Project) just by spending around $15000 extra by seeking second opinion from some
independent Geotechnical consultant.
Reduced Tank pad height by proposing bigger horse power pumps and saved 1.5 m depth of
pad. (Ferrier)
Vendor (KAWASAKI) was technically convinced to increase Allowable Vibration Amplitude to 30
Micron from a very stringent initial value of 5 Micron for Foundation for Compressor in ZIRKU
(Abu Dhabi, UAE) based Satah Oil Processing Plant. A net saving of $ 55000.00.
Simply tapering of Solar Panel foundations in the zone where anchor bolts were not required and
saved around 1 m^3 concrete in each foundation causing a net saving of around $ 560,000.00
to company. (Project for Catholic Protection of ADCO Wells casings - around 1072 wells.)
In the same project, proposal of using a common foundation for RTU and Junction Box caused
100 % reduction in Number of foundation & Steel supports and a drastic reduction in Cable and
its trench lengths. It led to an overall saving of more than a million dollar.
