ACHIEVEMENTS
- Whilst working for one employer, I managed a small team of CAD Technicians that
were producing drawings to repair and renovate Kings Cross Station Roof. The
work was completed well within budget, and received many compliments about the
quality of the drawings from Network Rail.
- While working for a Drainage Designer I developed various Autocad blocks and
linetypes to make production of Drainage Drawings quicker, easier and more
accurate.
- Concrete detailing drawings are often unclear, not-to-scale and difficult to
check. I have a small programme that makes RC detailing easier, including
isometric details and sections to scale. And because they are clearer with more
information, they are easier to check.
- CAD Standards are essential to the production of clear drawings that are easy to
understand. To this end I have collected a series of details and programmes, to
make life easier.
