Ram Jagdat, HTD, B.A.Sc., P.Eng., QP.

Principal Consulting Engineer

Ram is recognized as a highly skilled engineer who excels in coming up with innovative solutions for unique and challenging engineering problems.

After graduating from the University of Guyana in 1974 with a Diploma in Civil Engineering, he worked in a construction office and then became the pioneer engineer for the construction of a large housing complex and an access road to a proposed mega hydro power dam in the rainforests of Guyana. There he learned how to supervise skilled technical workers, various subtrades, and the fundamentals of constructing buildings and roads through virgin forest.

Having gained vital experience in running a major construction project, he was hired as a structural bridge design engineer where he designed Acrow Panel Steel bridges, including the design of the abutments of the world’s longest floating steel bridge (1.25 miles) across the Demerara River in Guyana, South America.

In 1977, he immigrated to Canada and enrolled at the University of Toronto, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering, where he graduated in 1980. Upon graduation, he earned his geotechnical experience working for the two top geotechnical engineering firms in Canada — Geocon (later absorbed into SNC Lavalin) and Trow Group (later absorbed by EXP).

With eight years of training under distinguished geotechnical engineers in Canada, he founded CESI in 1988 and has steadily expanded the company into several new disciplines. Ram has now acquired vast experience in geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, hydrogeological engineering, structural engineering, building sciences, and construction materials inspection and testing.

Tit Chung Chan, B.Sc., P.Eng.

Specialist Structural Engineer

TC Chan graduated from the University of Chu Hai of Hong Kong in 1958 with a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering. After practicing as a structural engineer in Hong Kong for ten years, he immigrated to Canada and continued to practice structural engineering.

His experience includes the design of all types of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, as well as subway tunnels, subway stations, airport hangars, box culverts, silos, and water purification plants.

He has worked in a steel fabrication shop, becoming an expert in the design and fabrication of all types of steel connections and in preparing shop drawings and taking off quantities. TC is well known in Toronto as one of the most experienced structural engineers, with wide-ranging experience.

He is most resourceful in remediating older structures, as he is one of the few engineers around who has seen the older structures when they were initially built and therefore fully understands their design principles. TC is highly appreciated by the firm’s younger structural engineers, as he continuously conveys the intricate details of his hard-earned knowledge.

Mohammad Bokhtair, M.Sc., P.Eng.

Principal Structural Engineer

Mohammad has extensive experience in the field of structural engineering, including international and Canadian experience. Mohammad is in charge of the structural engineers at Canada Engineering Services Inc.

He graduated from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in 1986 and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in 1993. His career in structural engineering began in 1986 with the design of reinforced concrete beams and two-way floor slabs. He is a member of Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).

As the lead structural engineer of Canada Engineering Services Inc., Mohammad has been designing industrial, commercial and residential buildings using steel, reinforced concrete, timber and cold-formed steel. His specialty is designing and modifying residential family buildings, as well as designing multi-storey buildings.

Lawrence Yu, B.Sc., P.Eng., RSO, QP.

Principal Environmental Engineer

Lawrence graduated with Honours from the University of Toronto with a B.A.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering. He joined Canada Engineering Services Inc. in 2001.

Lawrence has been responsible for supervising geotechnical field investigations and Environmental Phase I and II investigations, and has undertaken numerous Records of Site Conditions. His extensive field experience has included projects across geotechnical and environmental engineering.

He has carried out geotechnical investigations for diverse structures, including residential, industrial and commercial buildings, and subdivision developments. He has also been involved in the construction of many subdivisions in Ontario, servicing them over the usual 5-year post-construction maintenance period.

In the environmental field, he has undertaken reconnaissances, interviews, data collection and analysis, and environmental report writing — and he files Records of Site Conditions for practically every site the firm undertakes.
