Nikesh Bhattarai

Nikesh Bhattarai is a civil engineer working on the design, drafting and quantification of road and bridge infrastructure.

His work covers road alignment and geometric design, bridge drawings and detailing, box culverts, foundations and structural components, together with the hydrological and geotechnical inputs those depend on. It runs through to the documents a contractor builds from: reinforcement detailing, quantities, bills of quantities and technical drawings.

He reads across design criteria, survey data, drawings and specifications to arrive at something constructible — the coordination between what the survey says, what the structure needs, and what the quantities and drawings have to state consistently.

His exposure spans reinforced concrete structures, bridge components, hydraulic structures, earth-retaining systems and foundations, with attention to design standards, constructability and scour and earth-pressure considerations.
