Key Responsibilities:

Geotechnical Investigations Plan, supervise, and interpret geotechnical and geological field investigations including boreholes, trial pits, cone penetration tests (CPT), plate load tests, and field permeability tests. Assess subsurface soil and rock strata, groundwater conditions, and material properties for foundations, embankments, and pavements. Ensure sampling, classification, and testing of soil and rock are performed as per IS: 2720 series, IS: 2131, IS: 4464, and IRC: 78/112. Prepare and review Geotechnical Investigation Reports (GIR) including soil profiles, bore logs, and recommendations for foundation design, slope stability, and ground improvement measures. Advise on foundation types, bearing capacities, and safe allowable loads for bridge substructures and retaining structures. Material Studies and Pavement Inputs Identify and evaluate construction material sources (borrow areas, quarries, sand sources, water sources) and ensure compliance with MORTH specifications. Conduct and interpret laboratory testing of aggregates, soils, bitumen, concrete, and steel as per IS/BIS and ASTM standards. Support the pavement design team in determining CBR values, subgrade properties, and layer coefficients. Recommend improvement techniques for weak subgrade and unsuitable material replacement. Prepare detailed Material Source Reports and Material Testing Plans with mapping and documentation. Geological Assessment Evaluate terrain, lithology, geological formations, and groundwater conditions along the project alignment. Identify potential landslide-prone, subsidence, or erosion zones and suggest suitable mitigation measures. Provide geological inputs for tunnel alignments, rock cuttings, and slope stabilization (where applicable). Support in selection of bridge and tunnel alignments with respect to geological and seismic conditions. Documentation and Coordination Prepare and review technical reports, charts, and design data sheets for inclusion in the DPR. Coordinate with survey, structural, and pavement teams for integrated design solutions. Ensure quality assurance of field and laboratory data and maintain complete test documentation. Review third-party lab results and ensure compliance with project quality plans. Participate in client and authority review meetings, presenting investigation findings and recommendations.
