Chapel Hill Street to West Grant Street CH2M Hill - Chantilly, VA

Senior Project Manager, 2012-2015

Led engineering design for multiple high-impact road construction projects in Northern Virginia and District of Columbia. Key Projects:

I-66 Outside the Beltway Improvement Study, Fairfax VA, 2014-2015: Guided engineering design of first segment of $3.3B project to expand six-lane divided freeway with metro in median and closely spaced interchanges to 10 and 12 lanes express/local type highway while sustaining 6 lanes of freeway and adding 2 managed (express) lanes in each direction with direct access to selected cross roads.

DDOT, Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge/South Capitol Street Design, Washington, DC, 2012-2014: Studied and produced highway geometric designs for this mega project including oval shaped roundabout intersections, drainage, and utilities. Analyzed cost estimates, facilitated utility surveys, conducted investigations, and identified and resolved conflicts. Arranged and led meetings with public and private entities including DDOT staff, subs, utility companies, federal government, and additional stakeholders to communicate accurate information. Developed technical requirements and reviewed and arranged construction work permit applications.

DDOT, Development of DDOT Utility Manual, 2013: Coordinated the development of the first ever Utility Manual for the Washington, DC (District) Department of Transportation that established a uniform approach for addressing utility issues in general and those within the DDOT right-of-way in particular specially those involved Federal funding participation. It should be noted the Washington, DC is more congested under ground than above ground.

Qatar Highway Design Manual - 2014: As one of the leading member of the engineering team, reviewed and rewrote several chapters of the highway design manual for the country of Qatar to bring Qatar highway planning and design process to current international level standards. The sections that I wrote, reviewed, made comments and provided instruction included highway development process, highway design elements, highway design criteria, drainage design, utility design, landscaping design and planting, context sensitive design, design exceptions (departures), and signalized intersections and interchange design.

I-95 Flyover, Fairfax, Virginia: Reviewed the 30% design plan of the flyover ramp replacing an existing substandard loop ramp and rebuilding the Southbound Fairfax County Parkway Bridge over I-95; Evaluated the quality assurance and quality control processes to assure compliance with CH2M HILL and client requirements; Reviewed constructability of the road and bridges to assure traffic operation and drainage could be maintained. Conducted a value engineering review of the final 30% plans and recommended the following:

Changes to super-elevation direction at specific locations that would eliminate several drainage structures.

Consider extending one of the existing bridges that would eliminate replacement of several bridges and reducing the length and height of the proposed fly-over bridge.

Northern Virginia Mega Projects Program Management, VDOT: Reviewed feasibility of providing direct access between the Dulles Airport Access and Toll Road and the I-495 (Capitol Beltway HOT and general purpose lanes) including a continuous CD roadway along I-495 through the Route-123 and Rout-7 interchanges with the I- 495 (Capitol Beltway)
