Specialized in the analysis, design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete and steel structures for commercial, residential, and industrial applications.
Experienced in the application of international design standards and building codes, including ACI, AISC, ASCE, FEMA guidelines, and U.S. structural design standards. Strong background in advanced structural modeling and finite element analysis using industry-recognized software tools.
Throughout his career, Juan has led and participated in projects involving complex structural systems, structural rehabilitation of deteriorated buildings, corrosion-affected infrastructure, and industrial facilities. His work integrates analytical rigor with practical engineering judgment, ensuring safety, performance, and long-term structural reliability.
He collaborates with architects, developers, and engineering teams to deliver technically sound, efficient, and code-compliant structural solutions across diverse environments — including projects with international scope.
Civil engineering design and construction management of a large-scale shrimp production facility, including ponds, reservoirs, and an integrated water circulation system. The project incorporates elevated supply canals, gravity-fed distribution, and environmentally optimized earthworks.

Waste Water Treatment Plant — Cervecería Regional
Civil engineering execution for the foundation system supporting industrial decanter and biodigester tanks within a wastewater treatment facility located along Lake Maracaibo. The project required advanced ground stabilization and a reinforced floating mat foundation solution under high groundwater conditions.
The implemented engineering strategy reduced construction costs by approximately 50% (~$2M savings) while meeting environmental and structural compliance.
