Involved Projects

Windsor-Essex Parkway Project, Ontario, Canada, Client: Windsor-Essex Transportation

Partners

Currently working on a proposal for a design, build, finance and maintain contract for Windsor-

Essex Parkway project. The Windsor-Essex Parkway will be the most significant highway

investment made in Ontario history. The innovative Windsor-Essex Parkway will provide

significant transportation and community benefits. The 11-kilometre below-grade freeway will

separate local and international traffic and eliminate stop and go traffic on the way to the border.

Missouri 800 Safe and Sound Project, Statewide, Missouri, Client: Missouri Bridge

Builders

Missouri 800 Safe and Sound Bridge Project involved a design-build-finance-maintain project to

improve 802 bridges in the state of Missouri. Construction plans and calculations for the

rehabilitation of an initial 100 bridges were prepared. Rehabilitation work involved full depth

deck replacement, deck overhang replacement, deck patching, deck parapet replacement, steel

beam strengthening with shear connectors, post tensioning, and steel plate, bearing replacement,

substructure repair, strengthening, and widening, culvert strengthening and replacement, and

waterway improvement.

142nd Avenue over US-131, Kalamazoo, MI, Client: MDOT

Project involves replacement of an existing bridge which is a four span, steel multi-stringer, non-

composite bridge originally constructed in 1957. Adjacent box beam structure is proposed to

minimize the grade raise by providing required underclearance. Proposed bridge is a 2-span

structure with adjacent prestressed box beams connected using transverse post tensioning.

Keystone Road Grade Separation, Traverse City, MI, Client: Grand Traverse County

Road Commission

This project consists of two grade separations. The first grade separation structure located east of

the proposed intersection of Hammond and Keystone Roads passes Hammond Road over a

single track Railroad. The second grade separation structure located at the Railroad grade

crossing at Keystone Road. Single span three-sided arch is adopted as preferred alternative. Also

this project includes approximately 50,000 sq ft of earth retaining structures consists of a wall

system with 1H: 3V slope comprised of integrated geogrid, welded wire mesh formwork, biomat

and vegetative facing.

2005-2008: Wilcox Professional Services, LLC

Worked as a Junior Bridge Engineer

Involved Projects

M-85 (Fort Street) over Pleasant Ave; City of Detroit, Wayne County, MI, Client: MDOT

Duties include preparing design calculations and plan of a single span structure over Pleasant

Avenue. The project includes reconstruction of two structures, including a railroad bridge, and

rehabilitation of a 4000 ft long retaining wall.

Meisner Rd, Church Rd, and Meldrum Rd over I-94 in St. Clair County, MI, Client:

MDOT

Duties include assisting design and plan preparations for the rehabilitation of three structures

with steel plate girders over I-94. The rehabilitation work consisted of deep overlays, thrie-beam

retrofit, pin and hanger, end cross frame and expansion joint replacement, cleaning and coating

existing structural steel and structural steel repairs.

M-46 over South Branch of Cass River in Sanilac County, Michigan, Client: MDOT

Duties include assisting design and plan preparation for the reconstruction of M-46 Bridge over

Cass River, which a three span bridge with prestressed concrete beams. The bridge work

included the design of the following components; cantilever abutments, piers, prestressed

concrete beams, elastomeric bearings, dependent backwalls and bridge slab.

M-19 over Middle Branch of Cass River, M-46 over Abbey Drain, M-53 over Peters Drain

and M-81 over Marsh Drain, Client: MDOT

Duties include assisting design and plan preparation for the reconstruction of bridges/culverts.

All four bridge/culvert project comprise of design of three-sided precast arch culvert. The bridge

work included the design of the following components; footing on vertical piles, tremie seal,

construction staging details and three-sided precast arch culvert details.

M-102 (8 Mile)/ M-1 (Woodward) Interchange; Cities of Ferndale and

Detroit, Wayne & Oakland Counties, MI, Client: MDOT

Duties include assisting design and plan preparation for the rehabilitation design of M-102/M-1

Interchange. This project covers the rehabilitation of the historical M-102/M-1 tri-level

interchange, including three bridges and approximately 5000 Ft of retaining walls. The bridge

work included raising super structures to upgrade underclearances, deck replacement, retrofit of

existing R4 railings with two tube rails, bearing replacement, beam end repairs, cleaning and

coating existing structural steel and substructure repairs. Due to the historical classification of

this interchange, all existing aesthetic features of the bridges and portions of the retaining walls

being reconstructed were replicated.

2002-2005: Structural Testing Center, Lawrence Technological University, Michigan

Worked as a Research Associate:

Did research funded by National Science Foundation in the area of adjacent concrete box-beams

prestressed with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Investigation consisted of the study

of various flexural parameters like transfer length, deflections, strains, and ultimate strength, and

ductility of the developed bridge systems.

Also participated in a research sponsored by MDOT to determine the effectiveness of Stay in

Place Metal Forms (SIPMF) in bridge construction.

Duties include design and fabrication of the specimens, analysis of the test results, interpretation

of the data and writing papers and technical reports.

1998-1999: T.K.M College of Engineering, Kerala, India

Undergraduate Student

Done the traffic study for a major clinker factory in India, evaluated the level of service offered

by an existing highway & scheduled the truck traffic for the factory.
