I completed my undergraduate degree (BSc in Civil Engineering) in four years, graduating in 2016, during which time I completed my final year research project in Geotechnical Engineering and achieved the joint highest mark in my year of 86%. To date, I have worked for 13 months as an engineer, doing site investigations, design work and project management. These projects have included housing projects at Mandini, Umlazi, Verulam and the Waterfall area of Kwa-Zulu Natal. I have also worked on extending the lifespan of a rock tunnel near Amanzimtoti, which housed a raw water pipeline, with rock bolts and have conducted a seismic investigation for subgrade material to be used in the upgrading of the N3 northbound between Hillcrest, Durban and Pietermaritzburg. The largest project I have worked on the rehabilitation of slope failures which impacted the functioning of PRASA railways throughout the Durban area. It is my ambition to complete my master’s degree and complete a registered Pr. Eng in South Africa and continue to work as a Geotechnical Engineer. Since starting my Masters, I have also worked part-time as a consulting engineer, supervising borehole excavations, SPTs and site investigations as well as conducting pile integrity tests at various sites across Cape Town. My postgraduate research was aimed at providing a low cost, easy to implement solution to a collapsible soil that is currently causing severe cracks to buildings at the Mount Moorosi village in Lesotho. The solution I came up with involves blending the soil with recycled plastic chips and recompacting the soil to mitigate the soils collapsible nature. I completed and handed in my final dissertation in March 2021 for my MSc in Civil Engineering, specialising in Geotechnical Engineering. I have also completed several postgraduate courses in slope stability, numerical analysis, and laboratory & field techniques at the University of Cape Town. I have also published a paper in the 2019 African Regional Conference (ARC2019), held in Cape Town. I am also skilled in several engineering computer programs, including AutoCAD, the entire RocScience software suite and MACSTAR.
