Mehran has three decades professional experience in the fields of Geotechnical engineering, Mining geology and Engineering geology in Iran, African countries and Central Asia also lecturing at higher education institutes.
Regarding mining activities, he has experience in the exploration/prospecting for copper ore deposits, especially vein and porphyry types, the second type constituting the biggest open pit copper mines. This relates directly to the period of his work experience at the Sarcheshmeh and tens of copper deposits situated on the 2000 km long Iran Cooper Belt.
He also has good experience in the field of Lead - Zinc and Iron mines in the Central Province of Iran. These mines are considered as stratabound deposits in terms of geology (EMARAT-LAKAN Mines).
The Underground Tabas Coal Mines that are located in the eastern part of Iran were the first fully mechanized coal mines in Iran. This mine was designed for both Long Wall & Room and Pillar extraction methodologies.
Concerning Engineering Geology/Geotechnical investigation, he has years of experience in hydropower dam, tailing dam, high voltage power line, bridge foundation, underground excavation and tunneling, slope stability analysis and their protection systems.
His PhD thesis at the University of Pretoria dealt with the Engineering Geology of several very large dam construction sites in Iran.
