Representative Project Experience

. City Hall Parking Garage, Las Vegas, Nevada: Engineering Intern during

design of a 700 space concrete parking garage structure. The parking

garage structure will have an at-grade level with four raised levels. I

located and logged borings and supervised and coordinated to perform

ground penetrating radar to locate suspected buried transite pipes,

excavate potholes along the suspected transite lines. I assigned

laboratory tests and performed engineering analyses and prepared a

design level report.

. Nellis Air Force Base F-35 Flight Simulator Facility, NAFB, Nevada:

Performed a site reconnaissance, obtained an encroachment permit,

coordinated and logged all the borings, reviewed laboratory data,

performed engineering calculations for bearing capacity, spread footings

and slab-on-grade, lateral earth pressures, and non-dedicated asphalt

pavement sections. Prepared a design level geotechnical recommendation

report.

. Las Vegas Blvd Neon Signs Project- Phase I and II, Las Vegas, Nevada: As

part of the Project six neon signs were installed in the median island

along Las Vegas Blvd and the signs were up to 43 feet in height. I

obtained encroachment permit and oversaw traffic control plan, and

performed USA locate and logging of all boring and oversaw potholing

services by using an air-knife to 5 feet below the pavement surface.

Assigned and reviewed laboratory test results, provided engineering

parameters including axial shaft capacities, bearing capacity and soil

corrosivity, and prepared a design report.

. Anthem at Mesquite, Mesquite, Nevada: Project consisted of the design

and construction of a large-scale, approximately 2,000 acre master-

planned community of single lots residential subdivisions and associated

improvements such as golf courses, club houses, soccer field complex,

commercial site improvements, retaining walls, rockery walls, right-of-

way improvements, and installation of underground utilities. As an

Engineer Intern, performed a site reconnaissance, staking and by using

Underground Service Alert (USA), obtained clearance to the proposed

borings. In addition, I performed all the logging activities for all the

borings and assigned laboratory tests on collected soil samples and

reviewed related geologic maps, laboratory test results, and drafting. I

also performed engineering analyses/calculations for bearing capacity,

lateral earth pressures, allowable and differential settlements, slope

stability analysis for slopes retaining up to 60 feet, swell potential,

seismic site classification, and flexible and rigid pavement sections.

Upon completion of the laboratory tests and engineering analyses, I

prepared the design level geotechnical evaluation reports for each

subdivision.

. CCWRD AWT Membrane and Ozonation Plant, Clark County, Nevada: Project

consisted of a 30 mgd membrane filtration and ozone disinfection

facility. The 30 mgd pilot facility also consisted of flash mix,

influent flow metering, and influent control vaults, screens and an

emergency bypass structure, and two 84-inch diameter and two 96-inch

diameter underground pipes and associated improvements. I performed a

site reconnaissance, coordinated and logged all the borings, assigned

and compiled laboratory data and finally prepared a design geotechnical

report.

. Groundwater Analyses for the Pittman Wash between Valle Verde Dr and

Sandwedge Channel, Henderson, Nevada: As an Engineering Intern

supervised installing three temporary monitoring wells, purging and

sampling of groundwater in three (3) 2-inch diameter wells. Prepare a

summary letter of field activates and laboratory analyses.

. Anthem at Mesquite, Wagon Trail Subdivision, Mesquite, Nevada: The

Wagon Trail subdivision is a portion of the large-scale, 2,000 acre

master-planned community. Supervised and coordinated the field

technicians during construction and mass grading observations of this

project. I reviewed field daily reports for both off-site and on-site

testing. The off-site testing included field moisture and density

testing of trench backfill for underground utilities including sanitary

sewer, storm drain, waterline, and gas line. I submitted weekly activity

reports to the City of Mesquite during the construction activities and

prepared a final off-site report at the conclusion of the project. The

on-site testing and observation included observation of structural fill

placement, structural steel reinforcement, and concrete placement of

masonry retaining walls, and rockery walls. I submitted a final grading

report, a final masonry retaining wall report, and a final rockery wall

report with all pertaining data to the client and the City of Mesquite.

. Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Pipeline Groundwater Development

Project along Clark, Lincoln and White Pine Counties: The project was to

locate the proposed borings locations and perform a site reconnaissance

to SNWA along the proposed approx. 250 miles pipeline. I was responsible

for reviewing related geological maps, GIS drawings along with preparing

the reconnaissance report and assisted SNWA in obtainment of a BLM

permit for the proposed pipeline.

. Tropicana Mega Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada: The proposed project consists

of the construction of 4 new hotel and condominium towers between 30 and

40 stories high built around the two existing Tropicana Hotel towers. I

reviewed boring logs, reviewed engineering evaluations to determine pile

load, depth of foundation and performed calculations for drill shaft

material foundation and assisted in the preparation of the geotechnical

investigation report.
