15 Organisation Position Africon Senior Materials/Geotechnical Engineer Period Project related experience Central Laboratory for the Namibian Roads Authority (Para-Statal department of transport) Windhoek, Namibia Position Senior Materials Engineer Responsibilities Evaluating lab results for quality control purposes and applying control measures based on these evaluations Managing and supervising about 25 lab and office personnel. This management include training and motivation of staff. Responsible for quality control ensuring that correct test methods are applied Interfacing with Senior and middle management officials on issues ranging from managing the budget to personnel issues to producing progress reports Designing the work flow in the lab in order to obtain speedier and more correct results. Thus making lab more productive and profitable. Performing Geotechnical Investigations for a number of building structures Developed a software based reporting system to facilitate direct input of lab results and so avoid paper copies of lab results. This helped with identifying errors. When testers typed in erroneous raw test data a prompt will come up requesting the repeat of the test. 15 NOVEMBER 2012

16 Organisation Michael Looby and Partners in Ireland Year 2003 Position Geotechnical Engineer Project related experience Irish Contracting company Dublin, Ireland Dewatering project that held the constraint of a maximum water table drop of 0.5m. To monitor a series of monitoring boreholes were drilled around the site. Data loggers were purchased and handled to monitor the water table. These loggers were collected regularly in order to down load and interpret the data. A finite analyses program was used to simulate the flow of under water in order to permit certain needed predictions. A number of finite analyses runs were also done to design canter lever retaining walls using piles. 16 NOVEMBER 2012

17 Organisation Golder Associates (Africa) Years Position Geotechnical / Environmental & Civil Engineer Project related experience H.C. Pieterson The coves Hartebeespoortdam, SA Township road soil centre line survey for a security complex next to the Hartebeespoortdam. Dept s of Mineral and Energy and Water Affairs Witbank, SA Access control channel soil centre line survey. The purpose of the channel is to control access to a hazardous area comprising subsidence, sinkholes with burning coal in an old abandoned coal mine. De Beers Consolidated Mines Venetia Diamond Mine Messina, SA Tailings dump stability assessment and audit. Conveyors on top of the dump settle as a result of consolidation of the tailings. This settlement is irregular and tends to malalignment. Settlement has been modelled using a program called Crisp. Crisp is a geotechnical finite element program that models stress and strain in two-dimensional space. ANGLO GOLD Carltonville, SA Geotechnical investigation for clean and process water dams at Mponeng mine - previously referred to as:" Western Deep Levels Shaft No.: 1", was conducted. The one dam is to collect clean spring water and to pipe it downstream of the return water dam. The other is to provide capacity for process water for the mine.

Trade-OFF Middelburg, SA Geotechnical Investigation for the proposed filling station for the Mhluzi Township, Middelburg. in Manganese Metal Company Nelspruit SA Nelspruit, A residue facility is planned on a farm called Kingstonvale. This residue facility will be designed to receive the residue material from a Manganese producing process in Nelspruit. A Geotechnical Investigation was conducted wherein both the foundation characteristics and possible re-use of material were investigated. 17 NOVEMBER 2012

18 Manganese Metal Company Nelspruit SA Nelspruit, A residue facility is planned on a farm called Kingstonvale. In order to optimise the use and reuse of topsoil for rehabilitation purposes a topsoil management plan were prepared. Dept s of Mineral and Energy and Water Affairs Witbank, SA A safe access way across an old burning coal mine was urgently required. Establishing a safe passage is important for two reasons, namely risk management and secondly to clearly demonstrate to the affected communities that priority is being given to their safety and wellbeing. Thus a report investigating the most feasible safe access route was developed. Ngodwana Mill, Sappi Kraft Nelspruit, SA Feasibility study that investigated environmental and geotechnical solutions for a Paper mill in Nelspruit. During the study a dam site was sought to store chloride water from the plant. Manganese Metal Company Krugersdorp, SA Feasibility study that investigated environmental and geotechnical solutions for a Manganese Residue facility.
