PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY FOR

ROBERT (BOB) D. BURGETT

I have over 40 years of experience in the Construction Industry as a craftsman, engineer, surveyor, general foreman, independent contractor, business owner, contract administrator, contract manager, construction engineering manager, civil engineer, lead civil engineer, chief field engineer, construction manager, operations manager and project manager. Most recent clients include Koch Carbon (3 projects), Invista (4 projects), FEMA, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing-America, the Eisenmann Corp. A list of major clients includes Arco Alaska, Inc., General Electric, Celanese (3 projects), Procter & Gamble (3 projects), Witco (4 projects), Bayer & Citgo, among others. 15 years on the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast, performing work on refineries and chemical plants. Of particular note, is the involvement with environmental issues. Notably, the remediation and COST AVOIDANCE associated with the Bay Area Terminal, Koch Carbon division, Koch Industries. On site excavation included the removal of over 30,000 Cu. Yds of material. California and Federal mandated test results showed slightly over 6.000 cubic yards to be considered hazardous. Material so designated would require disposal, off-site and out of state to a controlled landfill in Nevada. Approximate disposal cost of $1,000/cubic yard. We were able, INSTEAD, to cement stabilize up to 5,000 cubic yards into a non-hazardous (California standard) material, later able to be utilized ON-SITE as structural fill. Cost AVOIDANCE/SAVINGS of over $5,000,000. 1,000 yds were successfully contained and transported to a Federal Landfill in Nevada.

Private Employment Dec. 2011 to Current

Since the successful completion of the Koch Carbon BABT Expansion and the Invista projects, I have taken a form of semi-retirement, accepting positions and projects of special interest. Notably, two additional projects for Koch Carbon, one in Enid, Oklahoma, another in Chicago. Both included rail spur lines and TIC’s of $35-50 million. Also pursued extended education opportunities. Created, designed and installed various community gardens, and a commemorative church garden dedicated to a revered pastor, posthumously. When I began major projects, as a young Civil Engineer/Field Engineer/Surveyor, I asked each PM for tasks that fit one or mor of the following criteria. Hard (difficult) high (elevated or difficult to access) or difficult (requiring new skills or out of the box thinking). Result Designed “ Best new engineering tool” for casting “concrete lollipops, allowing for MONOLITHIC forming and concrete placement of slabs and wall, avoiding cold joints/water stop. On the Koch Carbon project in CA, we had A COST AVOIDANCE OF OVER $5 MILLION by concrete stabilizing excavated contaminated soils into a product acceptable (even by CA/EPA standards) for on-site use as STRUCTURAL fill.

Interested in pursuing challenging projects that can benefit from an extensive career. Education
