Areas of expertise

Tomlinson Group Ltd., Ministry of Transport of Ontario, and municipality of the city of Ottawa I worked in a number of engineering projects which involved analytical and experimental activities in laboratory and field work which is funded by NSERC. I joined a team of research engineering which cooperated in the development of new compaction technique, field criterion for quality control of Ontario new pavements, and performing numerous related engineering tasks. My work required dealing with engineers from Canadian contracting firm; “Tomlinson Group Ltd.”, Ministry of Transport of Ontario, and municipality of the city of Ottawa. My work consists of planning, designing and managing field and laboratory experimental investigations. In addition, I conducted actual field and laboratory tests on the bridges and road pavements which included field and lab permeability and density tests, evaluation different compaction techniques and preparing technical engineering reports.
