Civil engineering design and construction management of a large-scale shrimp production facility, including ponds, reservoirs, and an integrated water circulation system. The project incorporates elevated supply canals, gravity-fed distribution, and environmentally optimized earthworks.
Civil engineering execution for the foundation system supporting industrial decanter and biodigester tanks within a wastewater treatment facility located along Lake Maracaibo. The project required advanced ground stabilization and a reinforced floating mat foundation solution under high groundwater conditions.
The implemented engineering strategy reduced construction costs by approximately 50% (~$2M savings) while meeting environmental and structural compliance.
Structural engineering development for a six-story reinforced concrete residential building, including foundation design, structural framework plans, and technical documentation. The scope included structural consulting, review, and coordination throughout all project phases.
The project was nominated for the EU Mies van der Rohe Award (2026).
Engineering consulting for the design development of a contemporary single-family house featuring reinforced concrete structural elements, precast panel walls, and a timber roof system. The residence incorporates a Shou Sugi Ban wooden façade and refined structural detailing.
Recipient of the Balkan Architecture Biennale Award (2021) and the Salon of Architecture Recognition (2022).
Design of safe, efficient, and code-compliant structural systems for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Specialized evaluation and reinforcement of deteriorated steel and concrete structures affected by corrosion and environmental exposure.
Development of advanced structural models to evaluate performance, optimize designs, and ensure structural integrity under complex loading conditions.
Structural solutions for energy facilities, including platforms, plants, and industrial systems exposed to demanding operational environments.
On-site evaluation of structural behavior using specialized instrumentation, including vibration testing and dynamic response assessment.
Leadership and coordination of construction and engineering projects, ensuring quality, compliance, and successful execution.
