NOTEWORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

PROJECT 1:

Contract No.: Commercial Client, Golden State Warriors

Title: In-water Diaphragm Wall and Foundation Pile Construction for Chase Center (Golden State Warriors Stadium), San Francisco, CA

Contract Amount: $64,000,000

Contract Start/Completion Date: 05/15/2017 – 11/05/2017

Role in Project (PM or Sup): Superintendent for the in-water construction of a 40 ft deep diaphragm wall for the stadium’s General Contractor Mortenson Clark, Joint Venture. Provided on-site supervision for the design-build (D-B) construction of a 40 ft diaphragm wall for dewatering the Chase Center site along the Bay. Also oversaw construction of 1,100 foundation piles of various depths and diameter for support of the stadium and parking garage. Reported to the project manager and was responsible for all field activities. Directed the planning, coordination, and sequencing of subcontractor activities, and ensured adherence to QC, safety, and project schedule.

Mobilized to the site 2 weeks in advance of test pile installation and installation of a 40 ft deep diaphragm wall for dewatering of the site. Once the test piles were installed and cured, worked closely with the engineering team and participated in design meetings and constructability reviews to run thorough tests to ensure the design met the criteria for the seismic measures put in place by the state of California. This interface with the design team helped to apply tested operating principles, reduce project uncertainties, streamline procurement and construction, minimize rework, and ensure tighter control of schedule and budget.

Once the design and construction team reached consensus and the design was approved, directly oversaw the mobilization of four drill rigs, 11 cranes [80-350 ton], and various other support equipment to the site. During peak construction, he directly oversaw a team of 40 to 50 operators, pile drivers, and laborers.

Attended client meetings with the Project Manager to give status updates on construction progress or issues. Held daily meetings every afternoon with the foreman to ensure goals were aligned for the execution the following day. Also walked the site daily to coordinate with foreman to ensure the team was ahead of any safety, scheduling, or QC issues. Maintained constant contact with the QC team to ensure work was executed in accordance with the specification and contract requirement. Worked with the safety team to determine the means and methods of accomplishing the work, and to define the hazards and risks to site personnel and the public, which was document in the Job Safety Analysis (JSA). He held daily briefing with crews to monitor progress, address safety concern, identify goals, review schedule, and to identify any issue or work coordination that requires attention. This interaction promoted safety and identified potential delays to ensures issue were visible to the entire team so they can be quickly resolved.

Held weekly progress meeting with construction subcontractors to monitor progress, discuss safety, identify review goals, review schedule activities and construction material deliveries to the project site, and to identify any issue or work coordination that requires resolution. Directly resolved issues with the concrete subcontractor and other subcontractors in order to main schedule. Led daily meetings with the three foreman every afternoon to discuss the plans and goals for the next day, then each morning, would reiterate that meeting with the crew of 40 to 50 operators, laborers and piledrivers and answer any questions that came up.

To maintain schedule, held weekly progress meetings with the client to discuss safety, production issues, and schedule (provided them with a 3 week look ahead every meeting). Used 3-week look-ahead schedules and resource forecasts to ensure work was executed in accordance with approved construction methods and the approved project schedule.

Description of Work: The Chase Center is a 11 acres site located in San Francisco Mission Bay and the east side of the site sits on the shore of San Francisco Bay. The bedrock at site was on top of a layer of fill, a weak material to build on, dating back to the 1906 earthquake. The top layer was bay mud. The elevation of the bedrock layer, for the arena’s deep foundation system, was highly variable across the site. The foundations for site had poor ground conditions in a seismic zone and the design include basements for the Warriors’ practice facility and a loading dock. Therefore, the project required piles extending down into bedrock with a robust structural slab spanning between pile groups to support the building loads.

The initial work required sealing off the site from the bay along Terry A Francois Boulevard with a 40 ft deep soil mixing (DSM) wall that was installed with Bauer DSM rigs made in Germany. The worked involved a mass excavation with 11 excavators working around the clock to dig the site down 35 ft to get to the desired grade. After that equipment was mobilized to the site, the crew stabilized the ground by getting the soil to 5,000 psi to hold up the massive drill rigs and assist cranes for the auger cast-in-place piles (ACIP) and caissons. This equipment was needed to install the 1,100 piles that ranged from 24-inch to 5 ft in diameter and up to 150 ft in depth. Work included erecting 12 total assist cranes with three tower cranes to assist in the building of the stadium. Originally the design required 1,300 piles, but the team recommended oversized piles and was able to engineer the quantity to 1,100 piles.

Specific construction activities performed:

Installed 40 ft diaphragm wall for dewatering of the site along the Bay that went around the entire circumference of the 11-acre site

Installed 1,100 foundation piles of various depths and diameter for support of the stadium and parking garage

Installed test piles then worked closely with engineers to determine the correct depths and diameters of the piles for production

Organized the mobilization of and erected various drilling equipment that weighed over 500,000 each along with various assist and support equipment

Project 1 Accomplishments:

Completed work ahead of schedule, resulting in a schedule completion bonus

Client was very satisfied with the work and issued a contract for the Vegas Raiders Stadium

The entire stadium was built in less than 28 months and won several awards for its engineering, safety, and speed of construction

PROJECT 2:

Contract No.: Commercial Client, contract number is not available

Title: Diaphragm Wall and Foundation Piles for Blue Origin, Launch Pad for Glenn Rocket on Launch Pad 36 at Cape Canaveral, FL

Contract Amount: $100,000,000

Contract Start/Completion Date: 02/10/2018 – 08/15/2018

Role in Project (PM or Sup): Superintendent for the in-water construction of the launch pad for the Glenn Rocket at LC36 for Blue Origin, LLC. Mr. Provided on-site supervision and maintained International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance throughout the D-B construction of a diaphragm wall for earth and water retention from the Atlantic Ocean Work included 1,600 foundation piles to support the Glenn rocket, launch pad, and supporting equipment. Oversaw the installation of test piles at various locations on the site to ensure they would withstand the forces from equipment and thrusters.

Reported to the project manager and was responsible for all field activities. Directed the planning, coordination, and sequencing of subcontractor activities, and ensured adherence to QC, safety, and project schedule. Worked with the DOR to test 8,000 psi concrete to withstand the temperatures of a rocket. Once the test piles met the requirements, mobilized two deep soil mixers, two cranes designed to drill piles and four assist cranes from San Francisco to Cape Canaveral.

Worked directly with the US Air Force and NASA to secure base access for all equipment and personnel, which included a team of 50 to 60 personnel that consisted of operators, laborers, pile drivers and iron workers. Participated in bi-weekly client meeting with Blue Origin, US Air Force, and NASA to keep them apprised on progress, issues, and corrective actions. He held daily afternoon meeting with the foremen to keep the team informed and ready for execution the next day. To prevent schedule delays, held routine meetings with subcontractors, including the concrete company to ensure they were maintaining an adequate supply of materials that meet the stringent specification of the concrete.

Description of Work: LC36 site is 138 acres of beach front property at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station along the Atlantic Ocean constructed for the New Glenn liftoff. The site is in a remote area of Cape Canaveral and with strict security requirements. The team worked with NASA and the US Air Force to negotiate and secure dedicated gate access for the delivery concrete and other goods which helped keep the project on schedule. The launch pad was leased from the US Air Force and NASA for 100 years for complete and total privacy of construction.

Blue Origin required two miles of deep soil mixing (DSM) wall be installed for earth and water retention. The LC36 site was sealed off from the ocean with a DSM wall 150ft in depth by using three Bauer DSM rigs with assist cranes to set steel inside the wall. Once the wall was partially installed along the east side of the site, three Liebherr LR1300 cranes (350 ton, 223 ft tall) with Bauer drilling attachments were mobilized to drill 24-inch x 150 ft deep auger cast-in-place piles (ACIP) for the structural foundation of the launch of the Glenn Rocket. Each drill rig had a 200 ton assist crane to set full length steel into each freshly drilled pile. Project involved drilling 1,600 total piles with pile cutoffs up to 35 ft in depth to account for the curve and angle of the deflector pad for the flames coming out of the rocket.
