Hydrodynamics and Marine Environment: Understanding the impact of water flow, tides, waves, and marine life on construction methods and materials.
Geotechnical Studies: Soil and sediment analysis is crucial for the stability of marine structures.
2. Mechanisms for Intake and Outfall Works:
Site Analysis: Assessing environmental conditions, water depth, and flow rates.
Design Options: Including open-channel systems, submerged intake pipes, and outfall diffusers.
Environmental Impact: Minimizing disruption to marine ecosystems and adhering to regulations.
3.Knowledge on Trenchless Technology4. Quantifying BOQ (Bill of Quantities) for Marine Works:BOQ is a detailed list of materials and labor required for a project. Key steps include:
Detailed Design Drawings: Basis for accurate measurement and estimation.
Quantification Methods: Using software tools or manual calculations to estimate quantities of materials and labor.
Cost Estimation: Accounting for local market rates, transportation, and installation costs.
5. Experience in Execution of Marine Works:Successful execution involves:
Project Management: Overseeing construction activities, managing resources, and ensuring safety.
Compliance: Adhering to local and international regulations and standards.
Quality Control: Ensuring that materials and workmanship meet required standards.
6. Knowledge on Tunneling Machines:Tunneling Machines are essential for underground construction. Key types include:
Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs): Used for large-diameter tunnels; they can handle various soil and rock types.
Slurry TBMs: Suitable for soft ground conditions; they use a slurry to support the excavation face.
Open-Face TBMs: Used in more stable ground conditions where the face is directly exposed.
7. International Experience:Experience in various global projects can provide insights into:
Diverse Geotechnical Conditions: Different soil, rock, and water conditions encountered in different regions.
Regulatory Standards: Understanding varying international codes and practices.
Technological Advancements: Exposure to cutting-edge technologies and methods used worldwide.
