• Perform critical field checks including borehole setting-out accuracy, excavation depth, verticality, and soil bearing capacity.
• Inspect rebar cages, cage splicing, sonic logging tube installation, and formwork stability before concreting.
• Supervise sampling and fresh concrete testing (slump, temperature).
• Oversee specialized deep foundation testing such as High-Strain Dynamic Load Testing (PDA), Cross-Hole Sonic Logging (CSL), and static load test.
• Review and approve Material Inspection Requests (MIRs) for critical imports like high -yield reinforcing steel, bentonite, polymer slurries, and structural steel sections.
• Liaise with multicultural project teams, international consultants, third party laboratory technicians, and client representatives.
