Previous ExperienceConsultancy ManagementNad-Kali, Australia and Nad-Kali Associates, Botswana. As Founding Director, established two consulting companies specialising in engineering projects planning, design and management. Numbers of staff at one stage have grown from 1 to 6 full-time professional engineers and a number of associates. Consultancies undertaken in Botswana and Australia include projects for public sector and mining industries. Prepared consultancy technical and fee proposals and managed consultancy contracts resulting in steady and profitable increasing income. Exceeded client expectations, planned projects, studied labour market, procured human resources, managed staff and used staff effectively. Clients included Department of Water Affairs, Department of Architecture and Building Services, Ministry of Local Government and Land and Private sector in Botswana and Public and Mining sector of Australia. Department of Water Affairs, Botswana commissioned about 20 international consultancies including Nad-Kali to undertake Water Supply System Design of about 200 villages in Rural Village Water Supply Project Lot I. Based on the performance in Lot I to handle Lot II and III the department shortlisted only 5 consultancies and Nad-Kali was one among them and the number of villages allocated to Nad-Kali was increased relative to other four. It is believed that Nad-Kali was the primary company at that time (1993/94) supervising the construction of Rural Water Supply Systems for the department. These evaluations and findings on Nad-Kali were carried out jointly by expert engineers from number of countries from Europe, America, Asia and Africa working in bribe free Botswana.Water Hammer AnalysisSince exposure to hydropower development projects (1970) I have continuous involvement with pressure transient analysis and pump/turbine-pipeline/tunnel protection systems. In Australia many systems were analysed and designed by me.
