Zubair Akhter joined FVEL in 2023 and holds a Master’s degree from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. He has extensive experience in geotechnical engineering, providing field investigations and engineering design for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
His expertise includes geotechnical site investigations, subsurface characterization, advanced laboratory and in-situ testing, soil and rock mechanics & behaviour assessment, geotechnical hazard evaluations (including FVRD hazard assessments), localized to catastrophic slope stability assessments, in-situ and dynamic ground improvement evaluations, hydraulic and earth-retaining structures, temporary and permanent shoring systems, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, gravity retaining walls, shallow and deep foundations, geotechnical assessments of existing structures, erosion and sediment control planning, soil deposit permit design, construction monitoring, field coordination, and delivering practical geotechnical solutions throughout the design and construction phases of projects.
Experience in construction, structural design/seismic analysis and construction in steel, concrete, and wood structures; Adept in using BC Building Code 2020, National Building Code of Canada, CSA S16-19, CSA A23.3-04, CSA 086-19, CSA S6 19 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.
Skilled in construction inspections and supervisions, structural analysis and design; responsible for producing structural designs and drawings; in heavy industrial, commercial, institutional, residential, recreational, and office buildings; adept in designing shallow, deep pile foundations, screw piles, and machine foundations (rotating, reciprocating, and impact machines), excavation shoring, and scaffolding/temporary works, lighting pole analysis and foundation design
Vahid holds a master’s degree in structural engineering from UMZ Iran. He has over 12 years of experience in the design and construction of steel and concrete structures, mainly residential and commercial buildings, in highly seismic regions of Iran.
After moving to Canada, he graduated from the University of Northern British Columbia with an MEng degree in Integrated Wood Design, enabling him to expand his knowledge and experience in the design of wood structures. He is enthusiastic about using structural analysis and design software to achieve accurate and reliable design solutions.
I have worked for more than 10 years in Canada on civil projects using Civil 3D and AutoCAD. As a Civil Designer, I have dealt with surveyors, created civil engineering drawings, and helped design storm sewers, parking lots, and roads using geometric standards and CAD software. In my career I have been working for major Mining and Oil and Gas projects, offering solutions either individually or as a part of a team. At Fraser Valley, I found a company that really commit with its clients completing projects within timeframe and budget.
We strive to be regarded as a respected consulting engineering firm based on the quality of the service provided to the client, the ethical principles of the engineering practice, and preservation of the environment.
