Dr. El Sayed has a strong academic background complemented by wide practical experience in the fields of engineering geology, structural geology, and geological mapping. His field of expertise includes design and supervisions for several projects related to stability analyses of rock cuts, geological engineering problems related to tunneling, geological engineering studies for selecting sites for large road and civil engineering projects, geophysical surveys and their interpretation, analysis of engineering problems related to geological conditions and geological/geotechnical mapping for a variety of engineering applications.
Dr. El Sayed is a Dam Expert in the Egyptian National Committee for Aswan High Dam, a committee responsible for the review and approval of all design, construction and maintenance works related to that dam. He is also member of the Egyptian Code for Soil Mechanics Committee (foundations design and construction) where he participated in writing a section on foundations on rocks.
As a Senior Tunnels Engineer, Dr. El Sayed has worked extensively on a large number of highway and tunnel projects, for both hydraulic and vehicular transportation purposes, in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Morocco, Yemen, and Turkey.
His involvement in the above tunnels covered the geological and geotechnical site investigation, full design of the tunnel and the design and control of the excavation/blasting patterns and techniques. Also, his involvement for solving the tunnel problems of heterogeneous face and caves.
Dr. El Sayed participated in the design of the Adasiya Dam and Weir as well as several complex roads. These involved elaborate bridges, cross-drainage structures, and protection embankments against flooding, impounding and sea-wave action.
