Civil engineering laboratory testing plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and durability of civil engineering projects

1. *Soil Testing:*
- *Purpose:* Determines the physical and chemical properties of soil.
- *Common Tests:* Atterberg limits, compaction tests, CBR (California Bearing Ratio), soil classification, permeability tests.

2. *Aggregate Testing:*
- *Purpose:* Assesses the quality of aggregates used in concrete and asphalt.
- *Common Tests:* Sieve analysis, specific gravity, water absorption, abrasion resistance.

3. *Concrete Testing:*
- *Purpose:* Ensures the quality and strength of concrete used in construction.
- *Common Tests:* Slump test, compressive strength, flexural strength, curing tests.

4. *Asphalt Testing:*
- *Purpose:* Evaluates the properties of asphalt for road construction.
- *Common Tests:* Marshall stability, viscosity, penetration test, softening point.

• Ensuring management of worker and delivering the project in best possible cost before deadline
• Performed technical, quality, design and safety reviews for project assurance.
• Worked effectively with QA and QC Engineers to develop solutions for construction non-conformance.
• Oversaw and managed quality controls works, ensuring requirements were met and recorded in line with regulatory building standards.
• Delivered quality control and safety management during pre-construction and review.
• Identified and outlined construction risks and defined solutions to address issues and stem delays from incomplete tasks.
• Optimized construction processes by conducting regular site visits to monitor progress and ensure compliance with design specifications.

• Received complaints and feedback from site personnel and contacted project stakeholders to resolve complex problems.
• Supervised contractor Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC).
• Maintained project materials and tracked issuance and usage to cultivate culture of accountability and responsibility.
• Offered civil engineering advice to stakeholders and oversight of defects, repairs or modifications of constructed structures.
• Presented project plans and updates to stakeholders for review and decision-making.
• Reviewed and approved design drawings, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and established engineering standards.

• Managed construction team of employees overseeing training, production and project goals.
• Ensured construction stayed within schedule by closely monitoring operations, communicating delays promptly.
• Oversaw personnel safety and efforts at work site.
• Enforced site safety rules, minimising work-related accidents and injuries.
