Spread along a stunning 6km stretch of Muscat's coastline, The Wave, a world-class mixed-use community, comprises luxury hotel and residential properties. The Wave, Muscat is also home to the 400 berth Almouj Marina, Oman's largest private yachting hub. Successfully managed all programmed MEP packages, delivering effective results, to meet contractual, time and financial constraints. During the early part of the execution phase, due to the complexity of services and space constraints on site, we needed an installation method, which would deliver total control of the designated service zones, uniformity and measurable means of monitoring progress on installation works. This was achieved by the use of a modular cradle system. Utilizing a number of 6m modular cradle units, throughout all the main corridors and arterial routes. This method allowed for the effective planning of services, resulting in an exponential movement in the installation process across the project, leaving corridor access free of scaffolds, over longer periods of time, as opposed to leaving walls down in rooms, as a form of access route. A workshop assembly line off site, allowed the controlled manufacture of modules, following the production of BIM 3D model drawings. This type of system allows for all MEP containment works, to be done at ground level, with only high level bolting of the module units, along with cable pulling and final connections into rooms. Hotel corridors are notorious for their space constraints by design; this modular system allowed all the coordination and spacing requirements between services, to be done in a controlled environment, taking away the risk of reworks, so common when using a conventional method, to install services.
A sabbatical from employment to attend to a family matter, that no longer requires my full attention.
The Nile Corniche is a 197,000 square metre mixed-use development along the Corniche on the east bank of the Nile River in Cairo, Egypt. This luxury property is organized as two towers above a podium and below ground, service and parking areas. Tower 1 contains offices at its base, 102 luxury condominiums and a multi-level penthouse. The L-shaped Tower 2, with retail at its base, contains a six-star St. Regis hotel with 283 rooms and 93 serviced apartments. The project has 37 floors above ground and four below. Implemented control measures, to ensure design development between departments, follows in a logical sequence, so milestones can be effectively scheduled along the projects critical path and that communications on tasked elements, that need to be assigned to a particular team member, can be dealt with along with RFI’s from sub-contractors, in an efficient and timely manner. Effectively managed the distribution of all contractual documentation and drawings, which form part of the work packages for tender purposes, from the design team to approved sub-contractors, through the use of WBS/Network programs to aid and therefore, eliminating any possible impact along the projects critical path. Implement control measures, to monitor and manage the approvals process for work packages, materials and equipment, ensuring complete compliance and quality assurance from sub-contractors and suppliers. Managed the review process on value engineering, of work packages and equipment. This involves considering the availability of materials, construction methods, transportation issues, site limitations or restrictions, planning and organization, while ensuring delivery on quality and performance as per design specifications, so achieving the maximum in cost savings. Ensure the design teams output is advanced of the sub-contractors to initiate the process of producing coordinated workshop drawings.
Princess Nora Bint Abdul Rahman University campus, the world's largest grouping of universities, designed for women. Covering an area of over 8 million square metres, with a built-up construction area of 3 million square metres. Capacity for 60,000 students, 15 colleges, offering state-of-the-art educational facilities in all major academic disciplines, accommodation facilities that can lodge up-to 12,000 students and a 700 bed university hospital. Effectively managed communications to project team on MEP progress and the next sequence of planned activities, site issues, RFI and KPI’s, while monitoring resource levels from sub-contractors, against projects milestones and the precedence of tasks within pinch point areas, using a WBS/Network programs. Ensure all sub-contractors and suppliers are compliant with the relevant design requirements and that all drawings and documentation, fulfils contractual obligations and deliverables. Successfully managed the coordination process on MEP systems throughout the construction phase, in order to achieve an expeditious result, while considering maintenance accessibility in the future. Advancing into the finishing phase, producing detailed MEP & builders work defects punch lists for each of the buildings and to oversee completion of said works, followed by final inspection and handover.
Effectively managed all maintenance programmes, reactive and PPM and insurance inspections on 16 sites across Northern Ireland, with a team of engineers under the terms of the service level agreements. Review resource levels i.e labour and equipment stock parts and training for engineers to fulfil contractual obligations and deliverables. Ensured all DVLA personal have received on-site training, on all matters relating to equipment provided under the contract, while ensuring compliance with all the latest employment, environment and health & safety legislation.
Successfully managed and delivered all MEP services, in accordance with the relevant design and performance specifications, which forms part of the projects scope of works. Devised and planned, all coordinated MEP service routes through and around the buildings in the construction phase with the design team and sub-contractors, in order to achieve an expeditious result, while considering maintenance accessibility in the future, when the buildings are occupied. Provided effective communication platforms, via technical/progress meetings and the use of WBS/Network programs on site issues/activities, RFI and KPI’s, between sub-contractors and our projects design team members. Effectively managed the approvals and compliance process for drawings, documentation and equipment, together with performance data, to all design team members in the executing phase, so enabling a smooth transition in a timely manner throughout the duration of the contract period. Executed a maintenance plan, which ensures compliance with all the latest employment, environment and health & safety standards, which is both financially and environmentally sustainable. Review the commissioning process with sub-contractors and the design team to formulate a plan with agreed time scales, from pre-commissioning through to commissioning, witness testing and demonstrations of the various systems on site to the client.
