Professional Track Record

Md Sohanur Rahman Prince began his professional career as a Junior Engineer at the Institute of Water Modelling (IWM) in January 2019, where he continues to work. He has been involved in a diverse range of projects, including feasibility studies, design, and master plans of water supply, sewerage, and hydrodynamic modeling schemes for clients such as Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA), Rajshahi Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (RWASA), Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and other agencies, with funding support from the WB, ADB, GoB etc. His expertise includes hydraulic and hydrodynamic modeling using tools such as HEC-RAS, Delft3D, MIKE 11, and WaterGEMS. He is proficient in GIS applications using ArcGIS.

His expertise includes:

• Hydraulic and hydrodynamic modelling using HEC-RAS, Delft3D, MIKE 11, WaterGEMS.
• Scenario analysis for different hydrological and climatic conditions.
• GIS applications using ArcGIS and QGIS, Python scripting and AutoCAD drafting.
• Design of water supply network and sewerage networks, drainage systems.
• Data collection and validation, feasibility studies and ESIA preparation.
• Preparing detail drawings, BoQ and cost estimation.
• Stakeholder engagement and dissemination of project outcomes.
• Technical report writing and presentation.
