Microtunnelling · NDRC · Dubai
Civil Engineer and Microtunnelling Project Manager with 12+ years of experience in NDRC, pipe jacking and trenchless infrastructure projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.
I have been involved in more than 70,000 metres of tunnelling works, with tunnel diameters ranging from 600 mm to 3,500 mm ID, including deep shafts, long-distance drives, high-groundwater conditions, complex utility crossings and large-diameter microtunnelling operations.
My expertise covers AVN/Herrenknecht microtunnelling systems, slurry separation plants, pipe jacking operations, shaft preparation, alignment control, settlement-risk management, site coordination and technical problem-solving under challenging ground conditions.
I am passionate about delivering safe, efficient and high-quality underground infrastructure projects with minimum surface disruption, especially in dense urban environments such as Dubai.
