Previous employment

(2011-2018) - Burohappold, Mumbai, India.

Working in Burohappold, Mumbai, India as the Technical Director, was Involved in
managing the structural design department giving the structural concept for Tall
buildings in INDIA. Preparing different structuring system for gravity & lateral forces with
the architectural team and arrive at workable, easy, economical and fast construction
solution. Also monitored Peer review and value engineering for the projects.

Following are few projects during tenure at Burohappold :

Supernova – Mixed use development – Delhi – India.

Client Supertech
Architect Benoy.

Supernova is the mixed use development with a 7 million square feet of total built up area
including an iconic tower of 85 floors ( more than 300m tall ) and 4 more towers ranging
from 30 to 50 floors connected together with a huge podium and 3 underground
basements. Delhi is situated in seismically severe zone and even the wind velocities and
quite high comparatively. Project leader for concept, schematic and design
development. Due to the presence of silty sand up to about 80m deep, the design of
foundation is challenging.

Ornate Space – Oshiwara – Mumbai.

Client Ornate
Architect 3XN- copenhahen.

An ornate spaces is a twin tower project at Oshiwara, Mumbai, consisting of two

basements for car parking and 4 podium floor for the retail use. Both the towers are about
120m high with a twisting shape, which is a challenge for structural design. There is about
2 degree twist at every floor supported by circular columns, spiral around the periphery.
The main central circular RCC drum is resisting the huge torsion developed because of
the twisting shape of the building and also the lateral loads.

Aranya Tower – Mumbai – India.

Client Priamal
Architect Make, London, UK.
The project comprises of two high rise towers on a common shared podium with
Government car park (GCP). Site is located at the midst of busiest streets of Patanwala
Road & Sant Savta Road close to Mustafa Bazar. It’s a prime location for the Luxurious
residential development at Byculla region of Mumbai. The buildings will include a G+77
storey tall tower for the high end luxurious residential apartments. The shared podium of
8 floors by both the towers accommodates car parking. Along with this three basement
plus ground floor and four upper floors is dedicated to public parking levels.

Satellite SESEN Tower – Mumbai – India.

Client SESEN
Architect SSA, Mumbai

This new high rise residential tower is a high end luxurious development in South Mumbai,
This tower has a single flaton each floor with wide balconies and green areas. There are
6 no. of Duplex floors at top and a Triplex at top most floor. The building is designed for
270m height. Because of slenderness and challenging structural system, several wind
tunnel tests have been done to lower the wind forces on the building. To compensate
the additional weight of additional 6 floors, the typical floors are changed
to composite deck system keeping the main structural L.L.R.S as concrete.

Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir – Mathura.

Client Priamal
Structure Design Thornton Tomasetti.
Peer Review Majid Hashmi

The proposed Vridanvan Chandrodaya Mandir is having construction site at the

Vrindavan, is located approx. 10km away from the Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. This is
considered to be the world’s tallest temple. The project carried out by the Hare Krishna
movement, popularly known as ISKON. The project consists of332m high rise structures
sharing a common cruciform shaped low rise podium structure of around 150 by 150
meters. The main tower which is of size 70m by 70m floor plate at base; which tapered
up to 292m height approximately. The structure proposed by engineer consists of an insitu
RC frame of walls, columns and composite deck slab. The tower structures uses a central
core of 15m x15m to provide ateral stability with series of outrigger walls elements, whilst
the low rise structures consist of four wings of 50mX50.

Designed and supervised numerous projects including prestigious ones like:

Princess tower, Dubai, UAE.

Client Tameer holding

Structural director for Princess tower, residential tower with 6 basements and 101 floors
near Dubai Marina. A total of 22m of excavation was required for 6 basements near the
beach, because of which diaphragm wall shoring system with 3 layers of anchors was
adopted.

Structural system adopted is RCC tube in tube. Architects were convinced because of
absolute column free space between the tubes. Steel composite decking is used to
speed up the construction and also to reduce the total weight of the building. The whole
building is extruded with two jump forms by Grocon. And the main contractor ACC
achieved a speed of 3.5 days per slab. Princess tower is slender with aspect ratio about
10. The acceleration of the top floors was slightly exceeding the human comfort criteria.
So tuned sloshing water damper was proposed. Super elevation is provided for the
external tube to overcome the differential shortening. Long term vertical survey is being
done to monitor the axial shortening of the vertical elements.
Armada towers, Dubai, UAE.

Client Raheef Al Hakimi group, Syria.

Design director of $ 300 million Armada towers at Jumerah lake towers, Dubai. Three
towers 45 floors each with the front elevation curved outside the building by 12m.
Structural RCC columns curved along the front elevation propped the large span
cantilever. Additionally an outrigger is provided from the core to the external inclined
columns at the 25th mechanical floor.

AL Yacub tower, Dubai, UAE.

Client DaruSaifuddienYacub, Dubai.

Design director of 72 floors hotel tower, almost resembling like Big ben tower in elevation.
RCC transfer slabs are provided at three different levels to take the reduction of the tower
size. Temporary structural steel form work was designed to carry the thick transfer slab at
elevated levels.

Attar tower, Dubai.

Client Attar real state, Dubai.

Design in charge of 70 floors hotel building with RCC tube in tube structure.Initially design
as a residential tower, later converted to a hotel easily because of column free spaces.

Damas towers, Dubai.

Client Damas Jewellers.

Director in charge of two 52 floors residential and hotel buildings. Architectural features
at roof were about 40m high, designed in structural steel. A double Decker steel bridge
connects the two towers at roof level.

MBK tower, Dubai.

The MBK Tower is a 200 m (665 ft) tall skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United
Arab Emirates. The tower initialized in 2006 and was completed in 2010. It has 59 floors.
The MBK Tower has esidential apartments. This MBK tower is one of the expensive
residential towers.
