Sofal KUNWAR

A final year student studying Civil Engineering at the University of South Australia left with internship before I graduate. I am looking to gain professional industry experience. I bring a proactive approach to learning that drives me to continually seek out opportunities for growth and development. I am interested in innovative projects that embrace sustainable solutions, as I believe they play a key role in shaping a resilient and efficient future.

Development and assessment of water quality monitoring tools during extreme weather events

. Conducted a final year thesis on developing coagulant-dosing prediction software for water treatment plants.

. Assessed the software’s effectiveness in enhancing dosing accuracy, particularly during extreme weather events.

. Evaluated the impact of the software on improving water treatment processes.

Steel member design for state library

. Assessed roof and wall bracing stability under wind loads, calculated maximum tensile and compressive forces in bracing trusses, and designed critical tension and compression members, including space Gass input and output for review

. Determined design loads and actions for roof beam shear and bending, conducted strength design for member moment capacity under various load combinations, and performed serviceability design.

Evaluated axial loads and bending moments for column design, and conducted strength design for tension (uplift), compression, bending, and combined actions.

Water resource system design for strathalbyn with industry partner 'aurecon'

. Prepared catchment plans and detailed locations of drainage components, reviewed 1% AEP rainfall events, and conducted hydrologic analysis using drains.

. Mapped sewer components and property connections designed pump stations and rising mains, and provided pipe sizing calculations.

. Developed detailed layouts of water supply components, including isolation valves and fire hydrants, created cross-sections showing integration with other services, and conducted hydraulic analysis using epanet software.
