Role

Description

structural analysis

design development

fea modeling

material selection

construction guidance

client interaction

Perform structural analysis to ensure the tunnel lining can withstand geotechnical loads, hydrostatic pressures, and operational stresses.
Ensure that all designs meet relevant codes, standards, and project requirements (e.g., Eurocodes, BS, ASTM, AASHTO, ITA guidelines).
Develop detailed designs for tunnel linings, including segmental linings, shotcrete linings, and cast-in-place concrete linings.
Conduct numerical modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate soil-structure interaction and assess the performance of lining systems.
Develop and implement innovative solutions to improve the performance and efficiency of tunnel lining systems.
Collaborate with geotechnical engineers to assess ground conditions and their impact on tunnel lining design.
Participate in design reviews, workshops, and client meetings to present design concepts and address technical queries.
Evaluate the effects of seismic loads, groundwater pressure, and other external forces on tunnel linings.
Conduct quality checks and peer reviews of design deliverables to maintain high standards of accuracy and reliability.
Select appropriate materials for tunnel linings, considering factors such as durability, load-bearing capacity, and environmental conditions.
Provide technical guidance during the construction phase, including reviewing shop drawings, resolving design-related issues, and ensuring compliance with design specifications.
Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, and contractors, to ensure seamless integration of tunnel lining designs.
Monitor the performance of tunnel linings during construction and recommend adjustments as needed.
Stay updated on the latest advancements in tunnel lining materials, methods, and technologies.
Optimize lining designs to achieve cost efficiency, durability, and compliance with project specifications and safety standards.
Specify reinforcement requirements, waterproofing systems, and joint details for tunnel linings.
