About

Practical civil engineer with field leadership and production discipline.

I work with engineering consultancies, survey firms, and design offices that need reliable technical support in the field or through remote production workflows. Most recently, I spent three years at Soil Test (P) Ltd., leading traffic, pavement, and survey operations across Nepal's national road network.

My work spans traffic engineering, pavement and road condition assessment, geotechnical investigation, road user satisfaction surveys, and stormwater drainage design. I handle field planning, team coordination, data processing, QA, GIS mapping, and AutoCAD drafting.

I bridge field execution and office production, turning raw survey work into usable engineering outputs: vehicle-wise traffic datasets, AADT maps, chainage-based distress data, borehole records, and client-ready drawings.

Expertise

Services built around real project delivery.

Traffic Count & Analysis

Planning 72-hour CCTV deployments, coordinating station logistics, managing counting teams, QA, Excel analysis, vehicle classification, and QGIS traffic maps.

Clients receive AADT maps and vehicle classification datasets ready for DoR.

SDI Road Condition Surveys

DGPS-enabled road video capture, chainage processing, distress classification support, spatial validation, condition rating maps, and pavement performance outputs.

Outputs support pavement maintenance prioritization and network performance reporting.

RUSS Field Surveys

Road user satisfaction survey planning, structured public interviews, local stakeholder coordination, government office visits, validation, and reporting support.

Field-collected interview data processed and delivered as structured datasets for DoR reporting.

Soil Investigation

Wash boring field support, borehole logging, groundwater table recording, soil sampling, SPT, DCPT, resistivity testing, and equipment mobilization support.

Field records and test data are packaged for geotechnical report preparation.

Stormwater Drafting

Australian stormwater drafting, architectural cleanup, drainage layouts, catchment plans, OSD drawings, driveway sections, DA/CDC/CC details, and revisions.

DA/CDC-ready drawings are delivered to Australian client templates, revision-ready.

GIS & Technical Output

QGIS mapping, Google Earth review, DGPS data handling, FFmpeg video workflows, project tracking sheets, AutoCAD 2D drafting, and report-ready data packages.

Clean, shareable data packages and maps are ready for report insertion or client handover.

Project Work

Selected engineering involvement.

Surface Distress Index road assessment sample
SDI Survey

Road Network Assessment — NH, Feeder, SURN

I managed DGPS video processing, chainage burning, distress data export, GIS validation, and condition map production across approximately 6,000 km of national, feeder, and urban roads.

Outputs supported DoR network condition reporting and maintenance planning.

RUSS government office coordination
RUSS

Butwal-Gorusinghe-Chanauta Road Section

I conducted pilot and full-scale road user satisfaction surveys with public interviews and stakeholder coordination.

Validated responses helped document road user priorities for transport agency reporting.

Traffic Count

National Highway, Feeder & SURN Counts

I led scheduling and coordination for CCTV-based 72-hour counts across 170 stations, plus Western Nepal deployment across 100 stations.

Vehicle classification datasets and station records supported AADT analysis.

Soil investigation sample collection during wash boring fieldwork
Soil Investigation

132 kV Transmission Line Investigation

I assisted field investigations under Nepal Electricity Authority project scope, including wash boring, borehole logs, groundwater, SPT, DCPT, and soil resistivity testing.

Field records and test data supported geotechnical report preparation.
