Accomplishments:
 Took several measures such as prospection and analysis of 100% of the project and recommended earthwork building
solutions,concrete injection on all cavity found, to ensure that projects were in line with requirements specified by clients
 Undertook initiatives such as every week meeting with the production management to ensure having and giving all
information about cavity problems, all system and reporting document is create to follow the prospection, analysis and
solution during the project for each work to ensure that cavity cell management was in place
 Overcome management and technical challenges during the completion of last project by taking adapted measures as
challenging staff, adapted management to take the best in each member of staff, found technical solution to respect the
