Draughtsman at SNA Civil and Structural Engineers, producing structural drawings for bridges and culverts.

Message

At SNA Civil and Structural Engineers, I produce structural design drawings in concrete and steel for bridges and culverts. My current work also includes 3D modelling and animation for projects such as MDC 9-10 Mara - Kanyamazane.

Earlier, at DG Consulting Engineers, I produced structural design drawings in concrete and steel. At L&S Consulting Engineers, I worked on concrete, rebar and steel drawings, including reinforcement inspections before concrete pours.

My project work includes detail construction drawings for the Gautrain Test Platform and culverts, as well as manufacturing drawings for Gautrain benches. I use AutoCAD and other CAD and BIM tools, and I’m currently doing my N4 in Civil Engineering.
