Work & Experience
Clients: Saudi Aramco, Al Majdouie, Rosenbauer
• Inspected ongoing underground utility excavations, verifying pipe bedding, trench slope, and compaction layers prior to pipe laying per approved Method Statements.
• Raised and processed daily Work Inspection Requests (WIRs) for wet utilities, coordinating site walkthroughs with third-party consultants for hold and witness points.
• Conducted Material Inspection Requests (MIRs) for delivered civil/MEP materials (HDPE, UPVC, DI pipes, precast manholes), checking dimensions, condition, and SASO compliance against approved submittals.
• Witnessed hydrostatic pressure tests for potable water and firefighting networks, ensuring test manifolds, calibrated gauges, and pressure hold times strictly followed ASME B31.9 standards.
• Verified gravity flow and water tightness testing for deep wastewater and stormwater drainage networks, ensuring correct slopes and zero leakage prior to final backfilling.
• Inspected the installation of complex precast elements, including multi-drain trench systems, Kent pop-up boxes, telecom chambers, and valve pits for structural integrity and proper alignment.
• Identified site deviations from IFC drawings, immediately issuing Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and ensuring execution teams implemented correct rework to prevent project delays.
• Cleared site blockages by continuously coordinating with Civil QA/QC teams, ensuring concrete and structural works were ready before mechanical utility integration.
• Supervised the installation of massive submersible pumping systems, ensuring baseplate leveling, structural mounting, and vibration isolation met manufacturer specifications.
• Compiled final hydrostatic test packages, as-built drawing markups, and inspection checklists into comprehensive system turnover dossiers for client handover.
Projects: King Abdullah International Gardens (KAIG) – worth SAR 30M, Green Riyadh
• Executed field quality surveillance for massive tunnel MEP installations, rigorously enforcing ITPs for commercial HVAC, firefighting, and pumping room construction.
• Inspected SMACNA ductwork systems, verifying duct gauges, acoustic lining, support bracket spacing, and sealant applications prior to ceiling closures.
• Witnessed Air Duct Leakage Testing (ADLT) via light and smoke test methods, securing consultant sign-offs for concealed HVAC routes inside commercial tunnels.
• Approved mechanical equipment mock-up rooms alongside top-tier consultants, establishing the benchmark quality standards for the rest of the 30M SAR project.
• Verified the precise installation of firefighting networks (Sprinklers, FHC, Zone Control Valves, Breaching Inlets) per NFPA codes and approved shop drawings.
• Inspected heavy equipment installations inside centralized pump rooms, ensuring correct laser shaft alignment and inertia base mounting for fire, potable, and chilled water pumps.
• Conducted visual (VT) and dimensional inspections on heavy chilled water pipe fit-ups, tracking welder IDs, and reviewing NDT (Radiography/Penetrant) reports for structural integrity.
• Monitored the application of pipe cladding, thermal insulation, and anti-corrosion painting on exposed utility networks, ensuring correct thickness (DFT/WFT) and continuous vapor barriers.
• Conducted pre-commissioning walkdowns, categorizing defects into A/B/C Punch Lists, and physically verifying site rectifications to clear items for immediate handover.
• Tracked RFI and WIR status logs systematically using document control software (Aconex/Procore), ensuring the main contractor maintained a 95%+ inspection pass rate.
Clients: ExxonMobil, Anadarko – worth $500M
• Inspected indoor plumbing installations per UPC/IPC standards, clearing under-screed piping, high-level drainage networks, and wet-area water supply lines before architectural closures.
• Supervised multi-zone VRV/VRF copper piping installations, strictly enforcing continuous nitrogen purging during silver-brazing to prevent internal pipe oxidation.
• Witnessed 24-hour high-pressure nitrogen hold tests and deep vacuum drawdown (<500 microns) on refrigerant lines prior to equipment charging.
• Cleared concealed mechanical works (ducts, pipes, cable trays) above false ceilings and inside drywall partitions, signing off site clearance forms with civil and finishing teams.
• Inspected final sanitary installations in high-end commercial restrooms, checking fixture alignment, trap connections, and domestic water pump booster pressures.• Verified water-side hydronic balancing across Chilled Water Fan Coil Units (FCUs) and Air Handling Units (AHUs), checking flow rates across Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs).
• Checked daily site progress against the latest approved revisions of IFC drawings, preventing the execution team from building from outdated plans.
• Issued mechanical Material Receiving Reports (MRR), thoroughly cross-checking delivered split ACs, cassette units, exhaust fans, and piping materials against the BOQ.
• Assisted the QA/QC Manager in preparing technical Quality Checklists, ITPs, and customized method statements for unique construction challenges on fast-track entertainment projects.
• Participated in weekly QA/QC contractor-consultant meetings, discussing WIR rejection trends and educating site foremen on correct installation techniques to minimize rework.
Clients: Engro Group, Nayatel, Swiss Pharmaceutical
• Executed field QC inspections for commercial multi-zone VRV/VRF installations, verifying copper piping fitup, continuous nitrogen purging during silver-brazing, 24-hour high-pressure nitrogen hold tests, and deep vacuum drawdown (< 500 microns) prior to refrigerant charging.
• Supervised physical alignment, structural mounting, and piping connections for Chilled Water Air Handling Units (AHUs), Fan Coil Units (FCUs), and condenser water pumps, enforcing compliance with IFC drawings, anti-vibration spring isolators, and condensate drainage slopes.
• Witnessed and documented water-side hydronic balancing across cooling coils and distribution networks, verified design flow rates across Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) and balancing manifolds using calibrated differential pressure gauges.
• Directed Air Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) inspections per ASHRAE 111 guidelines, utilizing calibrated balometer flow hoods, pitot tubes, and anemometers to verify volumetric air supply/return flow rates (CFM}/L/s) and diffuser static pressures.
