At Helios Towers, I design tower foundations across two regional rollout programmes covering approximately 250 sites. I verify designs to TIA-222, review geotechnical inputs, and provide dedicated structural engineering support for the Madagascar operation.

At Wamil Consulting Engineers, I developed the structure categorisation and condition-rating framework for Exxaro Grootegeluk’s structural integrity management system. I also implemented drone photogrammetry and LiDAR survey for plant modelling and condition assessment.

At Wamil, I led the rehabilitation design for the fire-damaged Ithala Shopping Centre, from assessing the damaged frame to designing its replacement reinforced concrete structure and supporting construction. My work also included condition assessments and concrete repair and rehabilitation design for industrial and commercial clients.

At CSIR Smart Places, I managed infrastructure work packages for the Green Cements Pilot Plant, including procurement and design review of major equipment foundations. I completed an MSc in Engineering with distinction on geopolymer concrete durability in corrosive environments.
