Husain Hasan

A motivated and accomplished engineer, with a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Birmingham. With over one and a half years of hands-on experience, I have successfully contributed to the high-speed railway line (HS2) project in England, demonstrating robust technical expertise in infrastructure engineering design. My proven abilities in collaborative teamwork, effective project management, and leadership, combined with strong communication skills, position me as a valuable candidate. I am actively seeking a role in Civil and Structural Engineering for 2024 to apply my academic knowledge and practical experience in a dynamic professional environment.

Work Experience:

Graduate Civil Engineer

Rendel Limited

• Performed Category 3 check according to Eurocode standards for over bridges, culverts and tunnels passing 

across High-Speed 2 (HS2) mainline, with a combined value of around £161 million. 

• Optimized the design by by proactively identifying areas for improvement and raising early warnings to the 

designers as per NEC3 contract. 

• Coordinated regular interdisciplinary meetings, fostering effective communication and tracking project 

progress across engineering disciplines. 

• Monitored project budget and performed thorough inspections of work in progress, ensuring adherence to 

cost targets and project requirements. 

Engineering Projects:

Weser River Immersed Tube Tunnel 

• Utilized LUSAS software to create line model for the longitudinal analysis of an immersed tube tunnel, ensuring 

accurate structural assessments. 

• Automated load inputs in analytical models by generating scripts, enhancing efficiency in the analysis process. 

• Developed spreadsheets to undertake the strut and tie designs to Eurocode requirements considering the 

German National Annex. 

• Produced an engineering report highlighting the minimum ballast requirement to achieve a factor of safety 

during the tunnel submersion on the riverbed. 

• Led the initial assessment of prestressing requirements specifically for the transportation stage of the tunnel. 

Chipping Warden Green Tunnel 

• Conducted calculations for deadload, wind forces, thermal effects, and train loading following BS EN1991 

standards. 

• Analyzed precast tunnel segments using a 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model in Midas software. 

• Verified nominal concrete cover to meet HS2 durability requirements, ensuring long-term structural resilience. 

• Verified tunnel segments' structural capacity for combined bending and axial loading using Autodesk Structural 

Bridge design. 

A43 Oxford Road Overbridge - Steel Composite Bridge

• Utilized LUSAS software for bridge analysis, ensuring accurate modeling and simulation of structural behavior 

• Developed and utilized in-house Excel spreadsheets for detailed checks and calculations of bridge components 

• Executed comprehensive checks for ultimate limit state and fatigue, covering girder, splice connection, shear 

studs, wingwall, bracing, welds, and piles. 

• Attended weekly progress meetings, providing updates, and collaborating with the design team. 

• Adhered to contractual agreements by promptly raising change requests for additional client-instructed work, 

ensuring compliance and transparency. 

HS2 Culverts

• Oversaw culvert projects totalling £450,000 in value, ensuring successful delivery within budget constraints. 

• Utilized Autodesk Structural Bridge Design to perform 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural analysis. 

• Verified critical section capacity (ULS) and assessed crack width (SLS) to ensure structural integrity. 

• Collaborated with the geotechnical team to guarantee the mobilization of earth pressure during construction. 

• Validated concrete cover compliance with BS 8500 durability requirements and HS2 Standards. 

Footpath ELL-20 overbridge & Impact protection structure 

• Designed a retaining wall to protect the over-bridge abutment from train derailment using Lusas FEA software. 

• Issued cost change request to the client for additional engineering checks required to assess the structure 

• Carried out engineering general arrangement drawings and RC drawings checks 

Bridleway AX-16 Overbridge – Prestressed composite bridge 

• Built an excel spreadsheet to structurally validate the wing walls using hand calculations 

• Determined section capacity of different bridge components including pier, abutment, and prestressed girder 

• Calculated the long-term deflections and verified that minimum rail headroom under the bridge is achieved 

• Validated reinforcement lap length and anchorage according to Eurocode 2 requirements
