Syed Aftab, P.E.
Structures/Roadways
Syed has more than 32 years of experience in design engineering and construction management for various infrastructure projects throughout Texas. He has provided design and oversight services for several Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) highway and bridge projects. Syed also has extensive experience in design and construction projects for the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), as well as the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART)’s light rail starter line in Dallas. In addition, he has also worked on freight rail projects. He is experienced with budget and schedule oversight as well as managing coordination efforts among project architects, engineers, and agencies.
As a team leader, Syed has been responsible for developing design concepts, preparing structural analyses and designs, and producing construction documents and specifications. Earlier in his career he was called to advanced assignments on projects with national significance, such as Boston’s “Big Dig” and the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake Caltrans major bridge retrofit program. More recently, Syed was responsible for working out the details ultimately used to construct the depressed LBJ Express Lanes, which involved major calculations to determine the specific geometries necessary to construct the managed lanes beneath grade without being classified a tunnel. Syed’s design saved Texas taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
