Principal Civil & Structural Engineer
Where ancient Newari craftsmanship meets modern structural science — designing structures rooted in Himalayan resilience and built to endure across generations.
Engineering disciplines forged through Himalayan challenge
Advanced finite element modelling of steel, RC, and traditional masonry structures. Gravity, lateral, and seismic load design per NBC, ASCE 7, and Eurocode.
Performance-based design for Nepal's seismic Zone V. Post-disaster structural assessment and retrofitting — expertise honed after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake (Mw 7.8).
Deep and shallow foundations in Nepal's complex Kathmandu Valley alluvial soils, Terai plains, and Himalayan rock terrain. Liquefaction analysis and pile design.
Structural conservation and seismic strengthening of Newari pagodas, Rana-era palaces, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Traditional material compatibility analysis.
Mountain highway bridges, river crossings, and suspension footbridges across Nepal's Himalayan topography. Load rating per IRC, AASHTO, and DOR standards.
Rapid visual assessment, detailed failure investigation, and post-earthquake damage cataloguing. Expert testimony and reconstruction guidance for government bodies and international NGOs.
From Himalayan footbridges to Kathmandu Valley high-rises
सुनिल अधिकारी, PE, SE
मुख्य संरचना अभियन्ताSunil Adhikari, PE, SE is a principal structural engineer and founder of Adhikari Structural Consultants (SSC), with 20 years of practice spanning seismic-resilient design, Himalayan infrastructure, and conservation of Nepal's extraordinary architectural heritage.
Born in Bhaktapur — a city whose 12th-century Newari woodwork remains the finest in the Kathmandu Valley — Sunil developed an early intuition for how structures carry load, express culture, and accumulate meaning across centuries.
He led structural assessment teams after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (Mw 7.8), cataloguing over 4,200 structures for UNDP and the Government of Nepal, and contributed to Nepal's updated seismic code NBC 105:2020.
Sunil's assessment of our heritage pagoda structures after the 2015 earthquake was both technically rigorous and culturally sensitive. He understood these buildings are living spiritual spaces, not just engineering artefacts.

Working in the Himalayan terrain demands an engineer who is equal parts creative and rigorous. Sunil delivered both — the Bhote Koshi crossing was the most challenging project of my career, and his structural instincts were impeccable throughout.

His contribution to NBC 105:2020 reflects a deep command of global seismic research and the specific vulnerabilities of Nepali construction. The code is better for his involvement, and so are the lives of millions of Nepali citizens.

Whether you are designing a new structure in Kathmandu's seismic heartland, conserving a centuries-old pagoda, or building critical infrastructure across the Himalayas — every project begins with a direct conversation.
