OVERVIEW
Mr. Wood has over 20 years experience in the field of consulting civil engineering, with the majority devoted to the design and evaluation of wastewater treatment, collection, pumping and solids handling systems; and the evaluation and design of potable water treatment, pumping, raw water source evaluations, distribution and storage systems.
In addition to the credentials listed below, Mr. Wood spent 4-years in the U.S. Air Force attaining the rank of Captain.
EXPERIENCE
Commonwealth Engineers, Inc., Indianapolis, IN
Mr. Wood worked on a CSO storage/transmission system for the City of Jeffersonville, Indiana.
Mr. Wood completed a study for effluent filtration at the Crown Point WWTP, Crown Point, Indiana. This involved evaluating seven different filtration systems and compared them on a cost effective basis.
Mr. Wood performed a preliminary evaluation of all unit processes at the Cheeney Creek WWTP in Fishers, Indiana.
Mr. Wood completed an evaluation of chemical phosphorous removal versus biological removal at the Huntingburg, Indiana WWTP.
Mr. Wood designed a wastewater pumping station called the Epworth Road Pumping Station for the City of Newburgh, Indiana.
Qk4, Inc., Louisville, KY
Mr. Wood designed an expansion of the Shepherdsville Wastewater Treatment Plant to expand its capacity from 2 MGD to 5 MGD. This project consisted of using a new technology that was only in use in two places in the country when the design began. The new technology was called the Integrated Fixed Film/Activated Sludge (IFAS) process, which is a combination of using the activated sludge process and blending in a fixed film component. In essence, it allows the treatment of more wastewater in a given size of aeration tank. Using this technique saved the City at least $10-$15 million over using a conventional technology. This plant also won a State and National Award for design excellence. . In addition to design, also was Resident Inspector and provided Construction Administration services for the project.
Mr. Wood did a preliminary design of the Grinstead Drive CSO diversion system for Louisville MSD to handle a flow rate of 24 MGD. This included pumping, screening, grit removal, storage, and controlled release back to the system.
Designed the Wolf Pen Woods pumping station force main relocation in conjunction with the highway work on I-265 for the bridges project
Mr. Wood designed a relocation of the Ohio River Force Main in conjunction with the redesign of Spaghetti Junction for the Bridges Project. Mr. Wood developed the original concept of the ORFM and designed the ORFM for MSD in 1986.
DLR Consultants, Inc., Lexington, KY
Mr. Wood developed a capital projects plan for replacement of water lines for the City of North Vernon, Indiana.

Performed an evaluation for sludge pump replacements for the sludge processing system at the West Hickman Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Lexington, KY.
Kenvirons, Inc., Frankfort, KY
Participated heavily in the design of the Emergency Intake Structure for the City of Jamestown, Kentucky. This design was concerned with a floating platform for intake pumps on Lake Cumberland.
