GENERAL PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
May 2013 to present
VVB
Lead Electrical Engineer
• Lead Electrical Engineer Design for the refurbishment of the Main & Cargo Tunnels of Heathrow Airport for
VVB Engineering with BAM Nuttall Civil engineering contractor as principal contractor a contract valued at
£85 million by Heathrow Airport Ltd to undertake refurbishment work on the main and cargo access tunnels
to the airport which are the key routes into the airport for public and freight vehicles. Included are new
substations, LED tunnel lighting, switchgear, and fixed fire suppression pumps, axial & jet fans with soft start
& variable speed drives and associated cable management systems.
• Senior Electrical Engineer for Heathrow Airport Tunnels refurbishment of the Main & Cargo Tunnel covering
power acceptance from UKPNS-Airports through to distribution on site from new substations for powering
motors, pumps & jet/axial fans, tunnel LED lighting, UPSs for communication devices for signaling, cameras
and sound.
(Keeping the tunnels open during the work is vital to avoid disruption to the UK’s hub airport, which means
work, to refurbish and improve the tunnel ventilation systems and upgrading the fire detection, suppression
and alarm systems, will take place over night and during pre-planned lane closures)
• Design Electrical Engineer for preliminary work on Fore Street Tunnel with BAM Nuttall as the Principal
Contractor for TfL – Transport for London.
• Design Electrical Engineer for Heathrow Airport High Priority Works working under the Principal Contractor
Costain Group PLC interfacing and co-coordinating Capita Symonds design for installation mainly related to

Senior Engineer supervising design and construction for a Highways Agency Tunnel on the M25 motorway, covering M&E work
- Value £6 million - Act as Design Site Representative based onsite for 3 days per week, troubleshooting any issues delaying the
design to completion process and handover of M&E installations
♦ Devised a support system for tunnel roof mounted cable management system to ensure there would be no erosion
and corrosion over the 25+ year life expectancy of the materials - Fixed 2500+ points of attachments to the tunnel
roof supporting the cable management system and other tunnel mounted gear such as camera, sensors and public
address systems, which enabled swift installation of roof mounted equipment and reduced the costs by 30%
♦ Resolved an issue with a temporary diesel generator which kept tripping on overload and was critical to the forward
motion of construction - Detected that the switch operation was placing an artificial overload on the generator and
requested that the switching sequence be changed to a more gradual process - Generator took the load without
faltering or tripping allowing construction to progress and keep the multi-million pound project ahead of target
completion
♦ Harmonics in the internal system from tunnel lighting considered a possible danger with the possible need for
correction equipment - Engaged a respected company to investigate and they found that everything was within
Standard Engineering Recommendations levels - This initiative cost £8,000, but not having to purchase correction
equipment saved the company £50.000.
