• Optimization: Balance structural safety with material efficiency, ensuring projects are both robust and cost-effective.

2. Foundation Engineering & Site Dynamics

• Soil Profile Interpretation: Analyze geotechnical reports to design appropriate foundation systems (piles, rafts, or pads) suited for the Lekki/Lagos coastal terrain.

• Seismic & Wind Analysis: Conduct specialized calculations to account for wind loads on high-rise structures and potential seismic activity.

• Renovation & Retrofitting: Assess existing structures for structural integrity and design reinforcement solutions for building expansions or modifications.

3. Site Supervision & Quality Assurance

• Technical Inspections: Conduct regular site visits to verify that construction matches the approved structural designs and specifications.

• Material Validation: Oversee the testing of concrete strength (slump and cube tests) and the quality of reinforcement steel to ensure zero-compromise on safety.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Architects, MEP Engineers, and Project Managers to resolve onsite structural conflicts in real-time.
