RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS SPECIFIC ROLE WILL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
- Carry out empirical, analytical, and numerical analyses for purposes of tunnel and shaft design (initial support and final lining) for various tunnel construction methods such as drill and blast, sequential excavation method, or TBM bored.
- Interpret and organize design results into project documentation such as Technical Memos Geotechnical Data, Interpretive, or Baseline Reports, or Basis of Design reports
- Characterize and classify ground conditions for different tunneling methods based on geotechnical information.
- Communicate design work through Preparation of drawing sketches indicating support types, geometry, construction sequencing, and instrumentation.
- Use tunnel design software such as FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC, RocScience, or FracMan.
- Undertake geological mapping and rock mass classification on site.
- Apply rock and soil mechanics skills to assess likely failure modes and develop ground support schemes.
- Undertake linear and non-linear structural analysis of shotcrete and concrete tunnel linings based on Code requirements using first principles or structural design software packages (SAP, GSA).
- Make use of automation and established workflows to follow best practice. Develop workflows and ideas for automation where none exist.
- Work in multidisciplinary teams for delivery of large scale infrastructure projects for transportation, water/wastewater, or mining.
