CONSULTATIONS: Name of assignment or project: Optimum utilization of the oil shale in Egypt Year: 2011-2013 Location: Egypt Client: Cairo University Main project features: The budget of the project is 200,000 E£, aiming to determine the optimum use of the potential oil shale deposits in Egypt as source for energy 3 by direct combustion or retorting the bituminous material. The project care also about the heavy metals content especially Zn, V and U in these oil shales. Positions held: Principal Investigator Activities performed: The project is still running on and it is supposed to be concluded at the end of the present year. The project is done in cooperation with the Mining Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University Name of assignment or project: Geological, hydrogeological and environmental studies on Al-Amal City, Kattamiya Year: 2000-2001 Location: Cairo Client: ARCPLAN (Prof. Aymen Ashour) Main project features: Al-Amal City is a new settlement area belonging to New Cairo in Kattamiya, The site was a focus of detailed geological, hydrogeological and environmental studies and to prepare the best land-use map of the site.
