Senior Structural Engineer (Bauingenieur)

Sazeh Consultants is a reputable, large-sized and among three mega engineering companies specialized in Oil & Gas and infrastructure design, procurement and construction in Iran. Some of my activities are as follow:

• A senior engineer involved in various projects by preparing instructions and design criteria, structural designing, checking, endorsing and commenting on all project deliverables.
• Involved in different types of projects including Gas gathering, Gas treating plants, Gas processing, NGL extraction plants, Gas injection facilities, Oil & Gas production facilities, Oil & Gas pipelines, Olefins, Petrochemical plant productions including Aromatics, Polymers & Methanol, Petroleum refining and Ammonia & Urea projects.
• Design of structures (steel & concrete) and foundations (shallow & piles) of various types including Pipe racks (Interconnecting Utilities, Supporting Air Coolers), Bridges, Equipment Structures and Shelters (Including Heavy Cranes) due to gravity, piping (Operating, Friction and Anchor), earthquake, wind and thermal loads.
• Design of foundation of Anchor Blocks, Vertical Equipment (Towers, Stacks, Heaters), Horizontal Equipment (horizontal vessels, Heat Exchangers, Drums), Vibrating machinery (Pumps, Compressors) and Tanks.
• Preparing standard drawings for typical steel connections using spreadsheets in excel by reviewing the structural handbooks and the latest codes, verifying them with examples of handbooks and continuously improving them.
• Preparing technical design guides to increase the quality and accuracy of design, decrease the design time and prevent misunderstanding including Design guide for shelters supporting cranes, Design guide for foundation of stationary equipment, Design guide for equipment structure, Design guide for pipe racks and Design guide for insert plates.
• Leading junior engineers, asking them to do their duties in a way that all work of the project is completed within a prescribed time schedule and man-hour budget and preparing "Job Planning" based on time schedule and review it each week to be confident that we are on schedule.
• Being in touch and negotiating with international equipment suppliers from different countries via commenting on vendor documents by email or participating in online or in-person meetings.
• An active member of subcommittees including the research and development and software engineering which needs excellent collaboration and teamwork with other engineers.
• Holding training courses on the following topics:

• Calculation of wind load according to ASCE 7
• Design of extended end-plate moment connections according to AISC Design Guide -04
• Design of bracing connection according to "uniform method" based on AISC Manual
• Design of baseplates according to "ultimate method" based on AISC Design Guide-01

Junior/ senior engineer involved in designing and leading various urban steel and concrete
structures with different lateral resisting systems. Following are some of my major activities:
* Design of "37-Story multi-functional Complex" with an overall surface of 160,000 m 2 , including
hotel, shopping & commercial center and car park, in Tehran, collaborating with an architectural
consultant in Dubai and mechanical consultants in Turkey.
* Design of "multi-functional Complex" with an overall surface of 400,000 m 2 , including two 35-
Story towers, shopping & commercial center and car park in Tabriz.
* Design multi-functional Complex with an overall surface of 120,000 m 2 including two 22-Story
and two 24-story towers, Shopping center and car park in Tabriz.
* Design of "residential Complex" with an overall surface of 50,000 m2 including two 20-story and
two 23-Story Tower in Tehran.
* Design of "11&12-Story car park" with an overall surface of 85,000 m2 in Tehran.
* Design of a "Hospital" with an overall surface of 40,000 m2 in Yazd.
* Design of "underground metro station" in Tehran.
* Design of structures and foundations of timber manufacturing plant including Press, Forming
line, Forming station, Dryer, Pre dryer, Drum, Fan, Cyclone, Combustion chamber, Wind sifter,
Screen and Dry miller.
* Suggesting utilizing "Building Information Modeling (BIM)" using Revit.
* Some of the training courses that I held:
* Reviewing different structural systems of tall buildings with a focus on seismic load, reducing
the size of elements, lessening the weight of the structure and the cost of construction mostly
based on "Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings, Bungale S. Taranath" and "Tall and
Super Tall Buildings, Tamboli Akbar R."
* Reviewing different long-span floor systems including Waffle slab, UBot, Cobiax.
* Comparison between concrete and steel structures financially.
* Reviewing steel composite joists with metal deck with a focus on deflection and vibration
according to AISC design guide No. 11.
* Designing diaphragm, collectors and struts especially for structures with bracing or shear wall
for seismic loads.
