Project: 1 New Street Square

Role: Senior Engineer

01 – Technical Expertise

In this project, I served as the senior engineer, primarily responsible for designing the superstructure. A key feature of the building was the cantilevered 6-meter-deep truss that supports a corner column extending from the building’s edge, creating the main entrance. The metal decks span over a reinforced concrete core, providing the building's stability system. However, the configuration of risers around the core led to a lack of connectivity between the diaphragm and the core. I proposed an innovative solution with a perimeter beam to address this issue. I was also responsible for designing the superstructure, including the validation of steel-to-steel connections.

02 – Leadership and Management Skills

Although I did not hold a formal leadership position, I managed my time effectively and coordinated submissions with our office in India. The Revit team played a crucial role in the process, demonstrating their importance to the project's success.

03 – Communication and Stakeholder Management

I generated all the reinforced concrete (RC) intentions for development by our office in India. In the pre-COVID era, this was a significant challenge, as communication was primarily conducted via phone and PDFs.

05 – Personal Qualities

The basement construction was a valuable learning experience, involving propping and bottom-up construction methods. I gained invaluable knowledge through the process, particularly in checking steel-to-steel and reinforced concrete-to-steel connections, which was an exceptional learning opportunity.
