PROJECTS AND RESEARCH WORK
Cost Estimation and Scheduling Project, Medical Clinic, Caliente, Nevada, USA
Prepared a bid from drawings and specifications for a Medical Clinic situated in Caliente, Nevada. Learned and exceled in some of the important deliverables, such as kickoff meeting report, ROM, WBS, quantity takeoff for site, landscape, earthwork and concrete, frame and carpentry, finish work and also final bid including technical report.
Cost Benefit Analysis for ALLEY24 East, Washington, USA
LEED Silver certified by USGBC and developed by Vulcan Inc. Performed a comparison between green and non-green building costs using CBA analysis.
Study of combined effects of E-Waste and accelerators on compressive strength of concrete, Indore, India.
Percentage of E-waste generated and used in India is high and rapidly increasing in the construction industry.
Beryllium, Cadmium and lead which are found in electronic products are reused with accelerators like Triethanolamine to fasten the hydration process. The percentage of the usage of E-Waste in cement concrete aggregate E-waste emerged as a viable solution to counter the well-known problem of high disposal costs and recycling costs.
BRTS Traffic survey management and road safety regulation.
Bus Rapid Transit system inside a city is very crucial for all the commuter who goes to their work without any personal transport. But in a densely populated city like Indore, India, it can also create some traffic jam for other vehicles because of the less number of lanes.
The signal time at each stop calculated and updated with the least disturbance for the bus and improved destination timing.
