This project is to construct a new Tainter / wicket gate dam on an active

river using "In the Wet" construction methods.

General Marine supervision of all "in water" activities. These supervision

responsibilities included overseeing underwater pile driving, subaquatic

subgrade preparation, foundation stone placement, pre-grouted "pillow mat"

fabrication and deployment under water, all day shift tug boat (7) support

coordination and all over water safety monitoring and supply procurement.

Construction Manager, Metairie, La. (Tetra Tech-INCA)

Develop construction plans and schedule for the "Maintenance Dewatering

Structure" that is to be utilized ant the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam for

the USACE (Little Rock District).

Perform "on-site" construction supervision for the installation of a new D-

I water system for Lockheed/Martin at the Stennis Space Center.

Project Superintendent, Project Development, New Orleans, La.

U.S.A.C.E.(Tetra Tech, EC, Inc.)

Perform project constructability analysis, assets in project schedule and

technical approach development, support estimating team in developing cost

matrix.

Project Superintendent, Sediment Remediation (P.C.B.) and dredging. Alcoa

Vanexco Plant, Vancouver, Wa. (Tetra Tech, EC, Inc.)

Performed environmental dredging and shore line remediation, removal of

contaminated soils and fills and reconstruction of shore line levees and

slopes, place dredge spoils in 'on site' landfill and transport

contaminated spoils to suitable " off site " land fills, construct shore

line protection ( rip-rap ).

This work was performed on the Columbia River during the winter months

with snow events and freezing conditions. The project was performed at an

accelerated schedule due to the migration period of the native salmon.

Precautions were taken in the handling of all dredge spoils and mitigation

removal material due to the unknown levels and types of contaminates to be

encountered. The project had 0 loss time or recordable incidents.

Project Superintendent, Quay Wall and Fendering Replacement, NAVSTA, 32nd

Street Naval Station, San Diego, Ca. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

Performed demolition and reconstruction of structural foundations (above

and below water), installation of structural concrete "sheet pile caps",

driving new concrete, plastic and steel "H" beam piles, underwater dredging

and grading, floating dock installation and cementitious back fill.

This project was located in an active portion of a naval base and was

performed with both derrick cranes and land based cranes and heavy

equipment with naval equipment and personal in close proximity. A majority

of the work to be preformed was at an elevation that was generally

underwater at mid or high tide. Work schedules were adjusted (nights and

weekends) to accommodate these elements.

The procedures and materials used in this project, in most cases had never

been tried or tested. Many "firsts" were encountered during the duration of

the project. The project had 0 loss time or recordable incidents.

Project Superintendent, Mooring Facilities for the U.S.S. Midway, San

Diego, Ca. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

This project was designed to accommodate the aircraft carrier Midway that

was to be used as a public maritime museum. The pier that the ship was to

be moored to was found to be not structurally suitable for this

application.

The project consisted of the construction of mooring "dolphins" and

upgraded current pier facilities to accommodate the anchorage of the

aircraft carrier. The "dolphins" (2) consisted of a total of 95 pre-

stressed (20" hex.) concrete pilings, both plumb and battered, with lengths

ranging from 87' to 98'. The dolphin caps were poured in place. All

construction activities (fewer deliveries) were conducted from derrick

equipment.

This was a "High Profile" project and was constantly monitored by both the

public and the media. The project had 0 loss time or recordable incidents.

Project Superintendent, Reconstruction of Piers 1 & 5, NAVSTA, 32nd Street

Naval Station, San Diego, Ca. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

The Driving factors for this project were to stop the degradation of the

existing piers due to the environment (salt) and to up grade the capacity

of the piers to accommodate larger ships.

This project consisted of demolition and reconstruction of structural

foundations and pile caps, placement of new structural pier deck, removal

and installation of all electrical (substations, conduit and service

panels), and mechanical services ( steam, oily waste, sewer, rain run off,

compressed air and potable water).

This project was located in an active portion of a naval base and was

performed with both derrick cranes and land based cranes and heavy

equipment with naval equipment and personal in close proximity. Work

schedules were adjusted (nights and weekends) to accommodate these

elements.

Project Superintendent, 10th Ave. Marine Terminal, San Diego Unified Port

Dist. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

The Driving factors for this project were to stop the degradation of the

existing "cyclopean wall" and to facilitate the dredge depth capabilities

of the marine terminal. The project was designed and engineered to minimize

the use of divers in the near "black out" conditions that existed at the

elevations the work was to be performed. Communication between divers and

support (crane operators, riggers, concrete pump operators and tenders) was

paramount.

The project consisted of demolition and reconstruction of structural

foundations (above and below water), underwater dredging and grading,

placement of new steel sheet piles, installation of "underwater erosion

measures," driving new plastic piles, and construction of new oily waste

sumps. This work was performed with both derrick cranes and land based

cranes and heavy equipment.

The procedures and materials used in this project, in most cases had never

been tried or tested. Many "firsts" were encountered during the duration of

the project.

Project Superintendent, Emergency Seismic Stabilization Measures, "The

Child Development Center", NAVSTA, Submarine Base, San Diego (Marathon

Construction Corp.)

The Driving factor for this project was to stop the migration of the earth

beneath an existing structure that was built on a hill side. The site was

on a known seismic fault location and all access to the wall being

constructed was on a two to one slope. The stabilization needed to be

complete as quickly as possible so that the multi-million dollar structure

was not lost to soil movement.

The project consisted of hillside "pinning" and "solder pile", construction

of a structural gunnite retaining wall, installation play ground, removal

and reinstallation of hardscape and landscape components, site grading, and

new drainage (piping, ditches and structures). The project had 0 loss time

incidents

Project Superintendent, Automated Welding and Fabrication Facilities,

NASSCO, San Diego, Ca. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

The facilities we constructed were designed to automate the fabrication and

construction of large sections of naval and commercial ships. This project

was located in a very active portion of a commercial ship building and

repair facility. This shipyard operated 24/7 so coordination with the plant

entities was crucial.

The project consisted of demolition and reconstruction of structural

foundations, site grading, removal and installation of all electrical and

communication services (substations, conduit and service panels) and

mechanical services (steam, CO 2, argon, natural gas, oily waste, sewer,

rain run off, compressed air and potable water), and installation of

automated welding machines and devises. The project had 0 loss time

incidents.

Project Superintendent, Marina Floating Dock Systems, San Diego and

Oceanside, Ca. (Marathon Construction Corp.)

The projects consisted of removal and replacement of old dock components,

removal and installation of all electrical (substations, conduit and

service panels), underwater dredging and grading, "rip-rap" installation,

and driving of dock guide piles.

These projects were located in public marinas where private yachts and

pleasure craft were moored. The possibility for damage to private property

was high. The media and the public traffic were always present. All

construction activities (less deliveries) were conducted from derrick

equipment.

Project Superintendent, Hollandia Park, San Marcos, Ca. (Heffler Company,

Inc.)

The project was to construct a 37 acre public park for the City of San

Marcos, Ca. The design criteria consisted of 27 acres of vegetated area,

including three baseball fields and a soccer field, that were to be

irrigated by an on site, 170 gpm well. 150,000+ cubic yards of earth were

excavated and relocated on site in order to achieve finish elevations. The

site was to be a "balanced site", however 52,000+ cubic yards of imported

material was needed to be brought in to accomplish this task. The site

consisted of primarily granite, thus requiring a large amount of

"blasting". The blasting was closely monitored due to an 18" high pressure

natural gas transmission line dissecting the site.

The project consisted of site grading and irrigation with both potable and

well waters. Project included A.D.A. ramps, sidewalks, trails, Ball Fields

(soccer & baseball) installation including back stops, bleachers, fencing,

Skate Board park, comfort stations, concession stands, climbing wall, horse

shoe pits and storm drain ditches, structures, and piping. The project had

0 loss time incidents.

Project Superintendent, Balboa Ave. Street Scape (Heffler Company, Inc.)

The Driving factor for this project was "Neighborhood Revitalization" and

to correct street run off drainage issues. This was a "High Profile"

project and was constantly monitored by both the public and the media.

The impact to both foot and vehicle traffic were great. Access to stores

and residences had to be maintained during all phases of construction and

minimal detouring of vehicular traffic was mandatory.

The project consisted of site grading, irrigation, landscaping, A.D.A.

ramps and sidewalks, and traffic control. The project had 0 loss time

incidents.
