Present

S. L. King & Associates, Inc.

Project Manager/Senior Civil Engineer

High Speed Ground Transportation Study – Atlanta to Chattanooga section. As a partner to AECOM, Inc. S. L. King and Associates is responsible for the planning of the Vehicle Storage and Maintenance Facilities as well as the Central Control Facility. These facilities were planned to commission, store, service, inspect and maintain the rolling stock of the high speed rail system, which could use either maglev or steel wheel on steel rail trains. The responsibility was to establish the functionality requirements of these facilities and to identify potential sites in Atlanta and Chattanooga for locating them. The site selection criteria were established to distinguish between desirable and undesirable potential sites and several sites were identified. The facilities were laid out taking into consideration the best practices for maintaining the rolling stock operational in the most efficient and effective ways and the sites were evaluated based on the established criteria. Conceptual plans were drawn – using Microstation – and a report was written for five potential sites to be included in the environmental impact study, which will follow in the next phase.

2003 to 2009

B&E JACKSON & ASSOCIATES - Hartsfield Planning Collaborative (HPC). Project Manager:

HPC is a joint venture of five firm members, responsible for all planning aspects of the Atlanta airport projects related to the latest expansion program in a task order arrangement. Projects included were land-side like roadways, utilities, curb drop-off, parking lots and parking garages, vehicle and passenger handling facilities and air-side like concourse improvements and additions and taxiway extensions, improvements and additions. My responsibilities included overall project management, development of scope, budget and schedule, engineering and report writing, personnel management and coordination with the other design team members, the sub-consultants and the client. The following is a list of projects completed by HPC:

South Airfield Complex Taxiways Study. Project Definition Report:

This task order consisted of a Planning Definition Report (PDR) to define the development of the taxiway system based on the recommendations of a Federal Aviation Administration Working Group study needed to support the South Gate Complex development. The new taxiway system will be an addition to the existing taxiways and runways of the South airfield complex.

Runway 9L Extension Study. Project Definition Report:

This task order consisted of airfield planning activities necessary to support the extension of Runway 9L based on the recommendations of the facilities program as needed to handle the additional larger cargo airplanes. The objective of this task order was to complete and document the planning for extending runway 9L and the adjacent Lima and Mike taxiways by approximately 910 feet. The runway extension plan was coordinated with the taxiway Whiskey project, the people mover and the baggage carrier which are planned for the South Gate Complex.

South Gate Complex Taxiways and Apron Grading Study. Project Definition Report:

The South Gate Complex has been in the planning phase and several key issues are still pending and decisions must be made. The architect is working towards finalizing the concourse plans and needs the grading of the apron level to complete his work. Several taxiways, including end around taxiways, have been planned and conceptualized and they need to be coordinated and graded so that they tie to the proposed concourses and gates of the complex. DOA has requested HPC to proceed with the grading of the area between Runways 9R-27L and 10-28 to assure the constructability of the proposed facilities within the FAA guidelines.

Terminal Roadways Study. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: The expansion of the existing terminal that is planned to handle the growing number of passengers and the projected traffic in the area requires the rearrangement of the existing roadways system. New alignments are developed and all aspects of the roadways will be redesigned based on the traffic analysis and modeling. This task order was undertaken to plan and develop a new roadways system capable to handle the additional traffic volumes and to document the planning activities.

General Transportation Center. Planning Study and Preliminary Design:

The extension of the West Terminal, which is needed to accommodate the increasing numbers of passengers, requires the relocation and upgrading of the existing facility to handle the increased number of taxis, buses and limousines. The new center will be a state-of-the-art facility and will create a “new front” door to the Hartsfield Airport. It included a commercial vehicle holding facility, a loading and unloading busway facility and a passenger handling/waiting building.

West Terminal Expansion - Utilities Master Plan. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: The Utilities Master Plan effort for the west terminal expansion was to provide a programmatic evaluation, planning and sizing of the site and facility utilities requirements for the terminal expansion and support systems. An additional work order further refined the demand and addressed the proposed location for the site utilities infrastructure including sanitary, water, gas, electricity, data and communications, storm water, the central energy plant and a utility corridor.

Centralized Command and Control Center, C4 Facility. Schematic and Detailed Design. The new airport safety facility, which was located on the airside, was going to provide the space for all the airport safety services and operations. All the traditional phases of design from schematic design through construction documents were completed and project documents were developed.

Runway Safety Areas. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: This project was to assist the Department of Aviation to meet FAA’s nationwide initiative on runway safety areas. That initiative required that deficiencies in all runway safety areas in the country be addressed prior to December 31, 2006. The project identified all the runway safety area deficiencies at Hartsfield-Jackson’s four runways and provided recommendations for improvements. It included the planning and preliminary design for upgrading the safety areas and made them compliant.

I-75 at Aviation Boulevard Interchange. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: The construction of the new International Terminal created a “new front” door to the Hartsfield Airport and the projected traffic in the area necessitated a new, more efficient interchange at I-75. New alignments were developed and all aspects of the interchange were redesigned in order to gain approval from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) of the project layout.

I-85 Corridor Study and Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport Access Roadway. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: Modifications and expansions to the main terminal complex, and the construction of an Automated People Mover (APM) from the proposed Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC) on the west side of I-85, across I-85, and into the expanded terminal, created the need for the reconstruction of the roadway access to the Hartsfield Airport. All the roadway elements of the I-85 corridor were addressed and a new scheme was developed with new access roadways, collector distributor roads, HOV lanes and flyover access ramps

Taxiway L Extension. Planning Study and Preliminary Design: The project consisted of the airport planning activities associated with the extension of Taxiway L from taxiway J to taxiway M. It focused on the final grading, paving, lighting and utilities relocation associated with the taxiway extension.

Non-HPC Projects:

Chicago O’Hare Airport. Runway 10L Extension Detail Design: As a part of the O’Hare Modernization – Phase 1 Program, Runway 10L was to be extended in order to meet the new demands of the heavier aircraft. The runway and taxiways markings and pavement grooving was part of our effort.

1-85/SR 400 Interchange Improvement Study: The SR 400 Concept Traffic and Toll Revenue Study encompassed both the long and short range plans to guide transportation investments in the SR 400 Corridor. The Study was to develop alternative concepts for the I-85/SR400 Interchange and was divided into 2 main technical efforts. Meetings with the stakeholders were organized to gather crucial information on local goals, policies, perceptions and desires. Then, two alternatives were prepared where typical sections, horizontal and vertical alignments for several design speeds were fully developed. The first alternative included a tunnel portion that crossed the existing I-85 and associated ramps and then run parallel to Peachtree Creek until it connected to I-85 Northbound. The second alternative included a flyover ramp that went over the existing I-85 and SR -400 lanes and then run parallel to Peachtree Creek until it connected to I-85 Northbound

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). Busway Pavement Rehabilitation Program. This effort included the condition assessment surveys of approximately 30 busway facilities of the MARTA system, evaluation and ranking of all the facilities based on the condition with a recommendation on the next projects to be undertaken. The planning and construction plans for the rehabilitation of four facilities was completed
