Construction Management

. A highly experienced construction engineer, I anticipate and quickly

resolve a wide range of engineering and environmental problems that arise

in the field, saving time, labor and materials costs. My key strengths

include:

. Controlling quality and providing detailed documentation at various

remediation sites

. Preserving the health and safety of all personnel and others impacted

by diverse projects

. Collaborating with developers, contractors and field foremen to meet

exacting standards

. Assuring rigorous compliance with all federal, state and environmental

regulations

Known as an analytical, get-it-done leader, I tenaciously handle chain-of-

custody issues. Having been a vocational instructor while a university

student, I gain a great deal of satisfaction from mentoring others. He has

his PE in Arizona and will be taking the Seismic test to complete his

California PE.

Selected Achievements

Impounded storm water onsite, saving thousands of dollars. Storm water on

150-acre Tetra Tech Los Angeles re-development project required sampling

before discharge to storm drain. Sending water offsite for testing would

have been expensive. Recommended re-using water from onsite lined pools to

control dust, avoiding need for detailed lab samples and expense incurred

with offsite water testing.

Avoided costly change order, enabling project to be completed on schedule.

Delon Hampton Foreman stated that grading plans for an LAX security project

were problematic, requiring a change order. After examining plans in the

field, determined that Foreman had mis-read them. No change order was

needed/work was finished on time.

Orchestrated critical airport fence realignment. As Engineer for Delon

Hampton project, determined that fence alignment at Ontario, CA Airport was

improper. Worked with Airport Police to re-align fence before contractor

began work, keeping fence away from climbable objects. Averted potential

safety/security problems while saving money.

Solved airport drainage problem. Determined that plans for LAX Airport

lacked provisions for drainage at top of box culvert. Worked with

contractor to grade area so it drained to existing ditch, which involved

minimal time and materials cost. When rains came, area drained properly

with no damage to box culvert.

Resolved sewer challenge, saving $50K over 4 years. While setting up

trailers for Tetra Tech project, noted that plan called for a sewer water

tank on-site. County sewer line was near the trailer. Recommended acquiring

a permit and paying a small deposit to hook into public sewer. Avoided

having a vac-truck pump out the tank weekly.

Solved problem that saved time and averted safety issues. Contractor was

off-loading an 80-ft. concrete beam when bracing (dunage) slipped. As Tetra

Tech Senior Construction Engineer for Tetra Tech, suggested using the empty

truck and trailer next to the one with damaged dunage, fixing it safely

without getting under the load.

Uncovered designer error, avoiding costly change order. As Delon Hampton

planning review Engineer, noticed inconsistency of topo lines on road

construction plans and asked designer for clarification. Designed

acknowledged topo line error and made corrections before contractor

performed any work, resulting in a no-cost change.

Averted bee hazard issue. Swarms of bees are major safety concern at a

construction site because it can cause "lost time" injuries. As EH&S

officer for Tetra Tech project, contacted bee keeper and who removed bees

from site. Achieved a "win-win" solution, as bee keeper was able to use the

bees and site incurred no cost or project delays.
