Significant Projects:

• Lead project engineer for an 8-county solid waste landfill near Twin Falls, Idaho. Performed siting and permitting studies. Performed geotechnical analyses for composite liner design. Prepared hydrologic monitoring plans. Designed and installed deep monitoring wells in basalt. Performed slope stability analyses for the landfill cell sidewalls.
• Designed holding ponds for containment of geothermal waste water in southern California. The design was a double containment system with leak detection system, consisting of a geosynthetic grid between two geomembrane liners.
• Performed engineering design, environmental permitting, and construction inspection services for a transmission line in western Washington that crossed a river and several miles of wetland area. The five year long project included the installation of an 80-ft long vibratory caisson in the middle of the Snohomish River. Construction in the wetland areas was performed using helicopters to minimize environmental impacts.
• Lead project engineer for design of an $8 million industrial wastewater treatment plant and potable water distribution system for Micron Technologies, Inc., a major semiconductor manufacturer in Boise, Idaho. Headed a team of civil, mechanical, environmental, and instrumentation engineers and drafters during this 6-month long project.
• Project manager for the design of a new fire water, potable water, and process water distribution system for a manufacturing facility. The project included a filtration and chlorination system and a new pumphouse building.
• Performed an environmental assessment for the City of Boise for the siting of a new geothermal wastewater injection well. Reviewed results of a groundwater modeling study and worked with a group of experts to determine the best site for the injection well to maximize repressurization of the aquifer while minimizing thermal impacts to nearby pumping wells.
• Performed geotechnical investigations and foundation design for many transmission line, substation, and industrial projects across the United States.
