As a tunnel engineer, Hiva understands the complexity of ground and structure interactions. She draws on her strong background in underground structures, geotechnics, and trenchless and tunneling projects.
Hiva has managed, designed, and delivered a wide range of projects, from large-diameter tunnels using earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines (EPB TBMs) to small-diameter installations such as pressurized-face microtunneling, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), and horizontal auger boring (HAB). She has led projects of diverse scopes including feasibility studies, impact assessments, advanced numerical modeling, instrumentation design, detail design, geotechnical baseline reports (GBR), and construction support.
When she isn’t busy with tunneling projects, Hiva loves traveling with her family, camping, hiking, biking, and reading.
