Planning And Design Manager/Civil Engineer - Salini Nigeria Limited - FCT, Abuja
(2022-06)
- Spearheaded the comprehensive design review and alignment optimization for the 16km service carriageway.
- Successfully streamlined the horizontal and vertical alignments to minimize earthworks (cut and fill), resulting in a 12% reduction in projected haulage costs while ensuring full compliance with FHA and FCDA standards.
- Oversaw the detailed engineering design for bridges, reinforced concrete box culverts, and drainage channels.
- Delivered a robust hydraulic master plan that mitigated flood risks along the Abuja Industrial Park corridor, ensuring 100-year storm event resilience for all crossing structures.
- The project remained on track for phase-one completion despite complex logistical constraints near Ring Road III.
Design Engineer/Civil Engineer - Hartland Nigeria Limited - Benin, Edo State
(2015-04 - 2022-06)
- Designed reinforced concrete trapezoidal channels and "stilling basins" that successfully dissipated kinetic energy, preventing downstream scour and protecting over 500+ residential properties from further encroachment.
- Stabilized gully slopes with gradients exceeding 1:2 effectively halt soil loss and restore the ecological balance of the watershed.
- Delivered an integrated underground conduit system that reclaimed previously lost land, increasing local property values and restoring vital road access to cut-off communities.
- Optimized the vertical alignment to ensure all-weather accessibility for agricultural transport, reducing travel time between Agbede and Anwain by approximately 40%.
- Led the design of multi-span bridges across the floodplains, and implemented deep pile foundation designs that accounted for high water tables and seasonal flooding, ensuring the structural lifespan of the bridges exceeds 50 years.
- Designed a dual-carriageway system with dedicated medians and pedestrian walkways that improved traffic throughput by 60% and significantly reduced the accident rate in the Benin City metropolitan area.
- Eliminated chronic seasonal flooding on the 3.6km stretch, ensuring the pavement integrity is protected from water ingress and subgrade failure.
Civil/Design Engineer - Setraco Nigeria Limited - East West Project Warri, Delta State
(2009-02 - 2015-02)
- Conducted the geometric design and pavement modeling for 87km of mainline road, traversing varied topographical zones.
- Balanced the mass-haul diagram to optimize earthmoving operations across the 87km stretch, significantly reducing the cost of borrowed material.
- Delivered a high-capacity pavement design (asphaltic concrete on stone base) capable of sustaining heavy axle loads (ESA) for a 20-year design life.
- Enabled the use of modular formwork and pre-cast beam production, which accelerated the construction timeline by 25% across the 18 bridge sites.
- Guaranteed structural stability against scouring and lateral forces, ensuring zero settlement issues during the critical loading phases.
- Prevented hydraulic bottlenecks, ensuring the structures can accommodate 50-year and 100-year flood cycles without overtopping.
Structural Engineer - Project + Potentials, Constructions - Ketu Ikorodu, Lagos State
(2007-01 - 2009-01)
- Led the structural design and detailing of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, ranging from low-rise structures to multi-story frames.
- Developed comprehensive structural drawings (General Arrangements, Floor Joists, Column/Beam Details, and Foundation Layouts) using AutoCAD and Revit, ensuring a 100% "Clash-Free" design environment.
- Optimized the structural members (reducing steel and concrete volumes by 10-15%) through rigorous limit state analysis, providing the client with significant cost savings without compromising the Factor of Safety.
- Served as the Lead Site Resident Engineer, overseeing the translation of design specifications into physical construction.
- Conducted stringent inspections of formwork, reinforcement placement, and concrete slump tests to ensure total adherence to BS 8110 or Eurocode 2 standards.
- Achieved zero structural failures and minimized site rework by 25% through proactive identification of discrepancies between site conditions and design blueprints.
Trainee Engineer - HFP Engineering - Km 22, Victoria Garden City Ajah, Lagos State
(2004-06 - 2004-12)
- Worked as an intern in the execution of a Water Treatment Plant.
- Prepared technical report for daily accomplishment and status.
- Supervised the construction of a rigid Pavement around the estates.
