construction & environment Thesis Competition

September 20, 2017 Event
construction & environment Thesis Competition

In September 2017, a student competition on the subject of the environment was held.

Due to my great interest in the field of construction, an initial idea came to my mind. At first, I shared the idea with my friends. The idea was to design several sources of wastewater treatment and separation of gray water from wastewater. In the original design, sewage treatment tanks were located on the roof of the structure. However, due to pumping problems and technical problems, and the economic optimization of the project, it was decided to design and implement tanks next to the foundation of each structure.

Then I consulted with some of the faculty members. The idea was completed.
After that, with some of my friends who had previously helped me with the Elite Foundation Symposium, and three graduate students, all the remaining work was done, including idea preparation, simulation, and productivity estimation.
The important thing was the cooperation of graduate students. They shared their test results with me.

On the day of the competition, there were more than 100 designs.
After the elimination of most participants, 20 participants remained at the end.
Each team had only 3 minutes to express their plan. I trained with the team members for several days to have the best performance.

When I went to present, I presented with a lot of energy and encouragement from the audience, especially my team members.

    At the end of our project, we were selected as the winners of the event along with 4 other teams.
    We also won a special award from the audience.
