Bonjour. Hello. I’m Mansour.
I assess civil and structural engineering documents for my clients online, as a professional engineer, to improve the quality of the original work in term of safety, functionality, quality and cost. However, my contribution can go further by assistance to find a solution to a problem, to mitigate a risk or supervise a team.
I have been born, raised and educated in Iran until I have been graduated from the Technical Faculty of Tehran University with a Master degree in Civil Engineering. During the last year of university, I could obtain a scholarship, upon a contest, from French government to pursue my studies in France. This allowed me to learn a new language, a new culture and to earn new degrees from two top French schools in Paris, ENPC and ECP. From ENPC, an engineering degree, DI (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) and a master degree, DEA (Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies) and from ECP, a doctoral degree (Diplôme de Docteur-Ingénieur). My doctoral thesis’s results was published in the Journal of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, in 1983 and continued to be used and referred by scientific and engineering communities so far.
Since then I have worked in several engineering/construction companies in France for about two decades until joining Total EP Indonésie, as the head of structural discipline for an almost another decade.
I’ve practiced and learned from different projects over the years and understood that the more care you take at the early stage of a project, when it is still on the paper, the better result you achieve at the end in term of safety, schedule and cost by avoiding engineering and construction pitfalls.
