PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Project Management / Field Construction / Operations and Maintenance
• Superintendent for the construction of multiple soil vapor extraction, and ground water remediation systems at Sky Harbor International Airport (Phoenix, AZ), a major rail road company and a major oil and gas company. Typical construction activities included tapping of the extraction wells, manifold, piping, and slab construction, equipment procurement, installation, testing and the subsequent operation and maintenance of the system to include ground water monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the systems.
• Provided Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) support for the construction of a dewatering pond used to dewater 500,000 cubic yards of contaminated dredging sludge from Greens Bayou (Houston, TX). The approximately 15-acre dewatering pond consisted of a 1- foot protective layer over a 40 mm geotextile membrane on top of 2-foot clay layer. QA/QC activities ensured proper compaction, density and moisture of the subgrade to meet design specifications.
• Construction Superintendent for the installation of a PCE/TCE water treatment facility for an electronics manufacturer in Arizona. Field activities included preparing sub-grade, forming and pouring the slab, sump, walls, steps, and pedestals, installing tanks, conveyance pipe, fabricating and welding the catwalks.
• Oversight of contractor activities for closure and corrective actions at a 40,000 SF warehouse in Oklahoma. Contamination and wastes included hydrocarbons, solvents and acids in soils and on impervious surfaces. Remediation activities included waste profiling, management and disposal, soil and surface clean up/remediation, and property restoration prior to transfer.
• Construction Superintendent for the construction of secondary containment area for a chemical storage facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Previous flooding of the Trinity River threatened to wash away drums of chemicals, potentially contaminating the Trinity River. The project involved design and construction of concrete secondary containment structures, capable of excluding the flood waters of the Trinity River as well as containing the approximately 100 drums of chemicals. Oversight included the excavation, forming and pouring of approximately 35 cubic yards of concrete.

Groundwater Remediation
• Project Manager for a groundwater remedial project for a closed solid waste landfill wherein the existing treatment system and supporting components were deteriorating from the less than optimal coastal conditions. Conducive to the operations and maintenance of the system, activities include: management of part time employees who conduct the O&M on a weekly basis; re-placement of components; research, design, and installation of a treatment system and supporting components to withstand the coastal conditions; ongoing improvements and upgrades to system for optimal output; influent and effluent sampling of groundwater and vapor streams; summarizing / charting O&M data identifying trends and working to optimize treatment including 25% increase annually of treated water over the previous years. Submit proposals for site specific tasks, project budgeting and tracking to reduce client cost.
• Senior Field Technician and foreman for groundwater remediation pilot study and subsequent groundwater remediation pump and treat system, for a major railroad client in Yuma, Arizona. The system was installed in 1998 and optimally removed approximately 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel per week from the formation and water table. The system consists of two separate activities – a six well passive skimmer system down gradient and a 14 well active pumping system in the heart of the release. Existing, and in place, piping was utilized to minimize the need to run conduit/piping under tracks and impact operations, saving thousands of dollars and facilitating continued operations during construction and operation of the system. The system is still in service today.
• Construction oversight, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) and quarterly ground water monitoring of the ground water plumes at several major chemical manufacturers/facilities on the Houston Ship Channel. Typical well systems included 100+ monitor wells and approximately 20 remediation wells. Sampling efforts included: gauging all wells within 24 hours; sampling all wells for chemicals of concern, typically volatiles, semi-volatiles and hydrocarbons with low flow pumps and/or bailers.
• Construction and O&M of a TCE, PCE air stripping ground water treatment system for the Arizona Air National guard in Tucson, AZ. The redundant system included a primary and back up stripper, a carbon activated treatment system and a water treatment/re-injection system. The project included the supervision and oversight of contractors expanding the groundwater treatment system, to include a larger area of the contamination plume. The project required trenching, shoring, backfilling, compaction, and reconstruction of concrete and asphalt roads and well pad completion and caging for approximately five injection/extraction wells.
• Conducted de-watering, system maintenance and interstitial monitoring at approximately 40 retail gas stations throughout Texas. The contract was expanded to include the geotechnical sampling and testing for the expansion and installation of diesel tanks at the facilities. Expansion activities included the oversight of contractor’s excavation and installation of the new diesel tanks and management of the associated wastes, when contaminated media was encountered.

• Technician for the installation and O&M of soil vapor extraction and/or air sparging systems for approximately 25 retail gas stations at various sites in Arizona. Field activities included ground water sampling, system construction and maintenance, and repair of catalytic oxidizer and thermal oxidizer systems.
Soil Remediation
• Excavated 25,000 tons of contaminated soils at a former crop dusting/aviation – turned Super Fund facility in Arizona. The facility was designated IDLH – Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health, and remedial operations were conducted 24 hours/day five days/week with maintenance activities occurring the other two days. The excavated soils were run through a thermal oxidizer that was constructed and operated on site. All soils were excavated, treated, sampled and returned to the site. All work was overseen by the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. EPA Region IX. The project was completed in approximately 16 months.
• Provided oversight for soil stabilization at plastics tinting company in Jacksonville, Texas. The heavy metals associated with the tinting process had seeped into the soils and down to the adjacent creek, impacting not only the soils but the surface waters as well. The project involved clearing approximately 3 acres of timber/brush, grinding/shredding the vegetation, chemically treating/stabilizing the soil to prevent the continued leaching of the metals and re-applying vegetation to the area upon completion of stabilization activities.
• Provided soil, air and radiation sampling and construction oversight of contractors completing a gypsum soil stack cap for a major chemical company on the Houston Ship Channel. Field equipment used included: air samplers/pumps, personal dosimeters, and soil sampling equipment. Field activities included air monitoring, personnel monitoring for radiation exposure, and composite soil sampling to determine suitability of the material for the cap.
• Oversight and management of the partial excavation of a former landfill in Tempe, Arizona to re-route an overhead power line underground. The project involved excavation of a portion of the landfill, monitoring of hydrogen sulfide, methane and carbon monoxide during the work and in the constructed junction boxes for the power line. Elevated levels of methane gas at the Lower Explosive Limits were detected on multiple occasions necessitating emergency response procedures and ultimately design changes to vent the junction boxes of the accumulated methane gas.
• Equipment operator for the removal 500 cubic yards of hydrocarbon contaminated soil on a railroad right of way in Tempe, Arizona. Field activities included the use and operation of an extended back hoe, a flame ionizing detector (FID), and sampling of the excavated materials.
• Site Operations Supervisor for the removal 1’ minimum of approximately 1,700 tons of cyanide, PCE / TCE contaminated soil at a former film developing company. Duties included: Conducting daily safety meetings; PPE inventory control; oversight and management of emergency responders, equipment operators, transportation companies, and vendors; vital observations and medical monitoring for the modified Level B entrants to exclusion zone; daily reports on progress; installation of a non-permeable liner and fill material; establish final grade.
