Imad Alnazli – Structural & Civil Engineering Expert with Global Legacy

With over 23 years of hands-on experience in structural, civil, and infrastructure engineering, I have led and delivered some of the world’s most complex and critical construction projects—from military infrastructure and airport fuel complexes to high-rise rehabilitation and cast-in-situ concrete mega structures.

I specialise in delivering structural steel work, reinforced concrete (RC) design and execution, fire-rated cladding systems, EWS1-compliant façade packages, drainage, storm water networks, RO and STP plants, and non-destructive boring under roadways—all with full integration of structural engineering and construction compliance.

My background spans three continents:

In Dubai, I led the Address Hotel rehabilitation post-fire (for Emaar with AECOM) and managed tunneling works on the Dubai Eye Access Highway (with Parsons).
In Abu Dhabi, I oversaw construction of the Landmark Tower, completing the largest single-pour concrete raft in the Middle East (16,000m³).
For Lockheed Martin, I engineered and delivered the longest cast-in-situ concrete shooting portal ever built (45m clear span).
In Canada, I contributed to the Place d’Orléans and Chapman Mills housing infrastructure as a structural site engineer.
With Siemens, I managed construction of a pioneering battery substation for the Abu Dhabi grid.
Across these projects, I have delivered:
✔ Over 25,000m of drainage networks
✔ 18,000m of stormwater pipelines
✔ 10+ sewage treatment plants (STP)
✔ 15+ reverse osmosis (RO) facilities
✔ More than 10 underground RC tanks (ranging from 2,000m³ to 5,000m³)
✔ 37km of military-grade underground drilling
✔ Fire-rated cladding installations with fire stop detailing, tested to UK compliance and EWS1 certification standards

Whether it’s concrete strengthening, steel superstructures, precast infrastructure, or full design-and-build EPC delivery, I offer end-to-end solutions that integrate cost efficiency, engineering excellence, and regulatory compliance.
