Anthony Maugeri, Divisional Design Manager – Abu Dhabi, Al-Habtoor Leighton Group
“Nitin has combined extensive experience on design and construct projects with established planning principles to create a powerful system of design planning. His programs capture and integrate the design process and its critical links to the procurement and construction phases. Nitin’s programs are an invaluable part of the design manager’s project control and reporting system. I would thoroughly recommend his system for all major projects.”
Susheel Kurup, Safety Engineer, Parsons, UAE
“Safety Meter is an excellent and effective tool to measure the site safety. It’s very simple and easy-to-use tool. It is a very positive tool for measuring health and safety at site.To be successful, safety management systems must be measured and safety meter helps to achieve the same. We have implemented it in our ongoing project and it’s giving positive results. In very simple terms it gives the overall picture of site safety. The construction team easily understands and takes action to improve on the lagging categories. In our weekly safety walk with the main contractor, scoring is done as per the agreed criteria and the results are displayed at prominent locations. There was a considerable improvement in site safety after the introduction of this tool. It created a healthy competition between different work areas which in turn improved the overall site safety.”
Simon E. Brennan, Ex. Project Manager, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Hong Kong
Nitin’s role in coordinating the procurement schedule in line with the master programme was both diligently and professionally executed. His contribution in preparing proficient delay analysis illustrating the firms entitlements for the extension of time were fundamental components which contributed to the successfully award two claims related to project.
Neelash Prasad, Project Manager, SIEMENS, HONG KONG
Nitin worked with me as planning engineer on civil tender on a rail depot project in Hong Kong. Nitin assited greatly in resource loading and analysis. Also he provided a valuable contribution to develop time chainage diagram to demonstrate movement of earthworks during the project. Nitin's readiness to tackle any new task was never in doubt. He is a good team player and should be an asset to any organization that employs him.
David Perrau, Bid Leader, Al Habtoor Leighton Group, UAE
Nitin through his planning & programming experience has made a key contribution on several of our mega projects in the UAE. His ability to break-down complex tasks in a team environment has delivered strong results under very tight and demanding conditions. Nitin has been a lead contributor on our recent projects in Abu Dhabi and provided resource and cash-flow loading support to our tendering team on our recent hospital and university projects which have a combined value of circa 2 billion USD. I wish him all the success in this innovative and challenging personal project.
David McCarthy, Divisional Safety Manager, Al Habtoor Leighton Group, UAE
Nitin’s approach to safety is a welcome change, To develop a simple user friendly system that finally shows the “positive” aspects of safety is long overdue for an industry that has traditionally only published the negatives ( LTI’s).
This positive reinforcement helps repeat performances from sites that have taken the safety meter to heart, which again sees continual improvement.
Trevor van Aurich, Director, JCA Logic, Australia
JCA Project Planning are a specialst planning/scheduling firm providing expert forensic analysis of delays in construction contracts. JCA utilized Nitin to help us with these services for a small period of time and were delighted with his approach and attention to detail. We look forward to dealing with him in some capacity in the future.
Thomas McGuire, Director QHSE & Training, Al Habtoor Leighton Group
Nitin’s research work and dedication to introducing a positive safety measurement tool for the construction industry has greatly assisted in the development programme for a positive safety culture recently introduced in Habtoor Leighton Group. The site safety meter has proven to be both popular and effective in changing the negative lag indicator reporting of accident rates to a “can do” attitude geared towards prevention of incidents. I would highly recommend Nitin’s work to practitioners and academics interested in contributing to a safer construction industry.
David Thatcher, Planning Manager, Murray & Roberts, Middle East
Whilst working with Nitin, he showed the accuracy and level of detail I have never before (or since) witnessed. He has clear and concise ideas on how information should be displayed and explained and is willing to break the information down to any level required with great accuracy. A credit to his planning profession. |
