Ports and Harbors Port and Harbor engineering services typically include the design of new service piers and wharves to support cargo off-loading operations. Often, existing piers and wharves are upgraded or rehabilitated to meet more stringent seismic performance criteria. This work typically includes the design of new piling, bulkheads, analysis of submerged slope stability, and other analyses including seismic loading and liquefaction hazard analyses to ensure the structure will perform acceptably under normal service conditions as well as during and after seismic events. A representative sample of my experience in this application includes: Seattle Aquarium/Pier 59 Seismic Retrofit, Seattle, WA Terminal 18 North Apron Upgrade, Port of Seattle, Seattle, WA Terminal 30 Redevelopment, Port of Seattle, Seattle, WA CVN Maintenance Pier Replacement / Pier B, Naval Base Kitsap, Bremerton, WA Rail/Barge Transfer Facility, Port of Everett, Everett, WA Berth One Rehabilitation, City of Ketchikan, Ketchikan, AK Terminal 91, Berths C and D Redevelopment, Port of Seattle, Seattle, WA Terminal 91, Cruise Ship Redevelopment, Port of Seattle, Seattle, WA Terminals 3 and 4, Port of Tacoma, Tacoma, WA East Blair Three, Blair Peninsula Redevelopment, Port of Tacoma, Tacoma, WA BP Bulkhead Replacement, Port of Seattle, Seattle, WA U.S. Oil Pier, Port of Tacoma, Tacoma, WA Pier 36 Instrumentation, U.S. Coast Guard, Seattle, WA
Buildings Geotechnical engineering services for buildings range from the design of deep or shallow foundations for the support of the structure, to the assessment of the degree and amount of seismic loading, to the design for control of groundwater. Prior to constructing the building, a typical project requires the consideration of temporary shoring. Buildings constructed within cities require underground parking facilities, with some buildings having up to ten levels of underground parking; shoring the walls for the excavation is required until the basement structures are completed. These facilities can sometimes extend below the water table, posing additional design challenges. A representative sample of my experience in the design and construction of buildings includes: Dearborn I-5/I-90 Development, Seattle, WA Amgen Helix Development, Seattle, WA Amgen Bothell Campus Development, Seattle, WA Washington Mutual-Seattle Art Musuem Excavation and Tower, Seattle, WA Second and Pine Tower, Seattle, WA Western and Clay Development, Seattle, WA Horizon House Residential Tower, Ninth and University, Seattle, WA Douglas Wing Addition, Highline Medical Center, Burien, WA Lyman Lumber Facility at Mint Farm Industrial Park, Longview, WA Public Safety Building Additions, Redmond, WA Upgrade to Paper Machine No. 2, Port Angeles, WA Belcarra, Soil Nail Shoring, Bellevue, WA University of Oregon Basketball Arena Complex, Eugene, OR Temple Beth Am, Seattle, WA Harborside Museum, Bremerton, WA
Transportation Projects Geotechnical engineering services for transportation projects require the assessment of groundwater conditions, slope stability, support of shallow and/or deep foundations, seismic loadings, retaining walls, pavements, and a host of other geotechnical considerations for the support of highways, bridges, runways, tunnels, and other transportation related facilities. I have gained experience in the design and construction of transportation infrastructure by working on the following projects: Interstate 15/Beck St. Widening, Salt Lake City, UT Pioneer Crossing, American Fork, UT Third Runway Project, Sea-Tac International Airport, Sea-Tac, WA Interstate 405 Kirkland SR 520 to 522 Stage 1 Design-Build, Kirkland, WA State Route 31, Metaline Falls Highway Widening, Metaline Falls, WA Crocker Ave Extension, Mint Farm Industrial Park, Longview, WA Weber Ave Extension, Mint Farm Industrial Park, Longview, WA Interstate 5 / SR 18 / SR 161 Triangle Improvement Conceptual Study, Federal Way, WA Adams Ave and Oregon St. Improvement, Sherwood, OR Interstate 15 Reconstruction Project, Salt Lake City, UT
Other Projects Seattle Art Museum Olympic Sculpture Park, Bridges and Seawall, Seattle, WA Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program (CSMP), Sea-Tac International Airport, WA Wauna Mill Intake Structure, Wauna, OR Port of Vancouver Storage Structure, Vancouver, WA Equa Clor Facility, Longview, WA |
