Work Experience:
Working experience in following field :
? Remote Sensing and GIS Technique and its Applications.
? Chemical & Physical Properties of Cement, Fly Ash, Sand, Soil,
Leached Material and Water.
? Good knowledge of Computer Hardware and Software.
? Sedimentation Survey of Reservoirs by Remote Sensing and DGPS Technique.
? Developed an E-Library for studied reports in MERI. It is very useful to find any report and backup a hard and softcopy.
? Worked in Material Testing Division, Soil Mechanic Division, Environmental Engineering Research Division, Structural Research & Physics Division, Remote Sensing & Geo informatics Division and Reservoir Sedimentation Survey Division.
Sample received and Testing Cycle :
? The soil samples for testing are received by Division , through letter along with Data Sheet, Quarry map & Certificate and Soil Samples which is certify in presence E. E. level in case of Deptt. and Head of organization in case of private Agency.
? The testing work is assigned to the ARO / SO, by S.R.O.
? The testing requirements are received by ARO / SO for carrying out necessary testing.
? The testing requirements are verified by ARO / SO through the check list for acceptance of test job.
? If the testing assignment is not acceptable then inform to the concerned submission authority.
? A Proforma Invoice for testing charges is prepared as per prevailing approved testing rates and sent to concern Organization /Agency.
? The test is performed after receipt of the necessary funds deposit to Civil Construction Maintenance Division, MERI, Nashik., under intimation to this division.
? Work order for testing is entrusted to staff as per chronology order of Soil samples and cheque received. (As far as possible first come first serve basis).
? The final test results are checked, complied by staffs, concerned ARO/SO and submitted to the SRO for final approval. After approval, the final result sheet with final bill (part III) sent to the concerned field officer/ Authority.
