Professional Track Record

Mr. Mohammad Ziaur Rahman has a professional career of 10 years in the field of water resources Engineering & Structural Engineering.As a Water Resource Engineer, he has developed his professional career in Institution of Water Modelling since November 2008. He is responsible for conducting pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, implementing and monitoring studies for flood management, river engineering, coastal engineering, navigation, inundation map for flooding, impact assessment of climate change etc. He is also responsible for developing 1-D, 2-D models (rainfall-runoff, hydrodynamic, morphological, salinity, drainage, storm surge and wave). Also in forecast of sedimentation and erosion of tidal rivers for short and medium term using mathematical modeling technique, land reclamation and selection appropriate locations for the cross-dam, determined design hydraulic parameters. He is capable of writing reports, making presentation and training to junior level engineers. He is also capable of project management both technical & financial-human resource control, budget control, time control, attending progress meeting, quality control, proposal preparation, contract preparation.
