Erlanger, KY Staff Geotechnical Engineer

I have extensive experience in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering including

design, specifications, surveying, budgeting, estimating, strong technical

writing and verbal communication skills, construction material testing and

field construction reviews.

I prepared scopes, schedules and budgets for proposals. I performed routine

and complex field exploration programs for a wide range project types. I

have experience in all types of subsurface explorations.

I reviewed and visually classified soil samples; assigned samples for

general soil classification tests; prepared the finalized test boring logs;

analyzed pavement conditions and subsurface conditions, analyzed

groundwater conditions/permeability; I performed geotechnical engineering

analyses as shallow foundation analysis, deep foundations analysis, slope

stability analysis, settlement analysis; and seismicity analysis.

I prepared engineering reports and contract documents. I performed design

and write recommendation for site preparation and bulk earthwork; landslide

stabilization and rockfall remediation, continuous, column pad and mat

foundation recommendations; pavement design recommendations; pavement

subgrade recommendations; retaining walls recommendations, floor slab

recommendations; and deep foundation recommendations; I oversaw engineering

services during construction on projects involving shallow and deep

foundations, support of excavations, pipelines, and tunnels.

I was involved in construction review services: performed soil nail,

drilled shafts, augercast piles, and H piles review and pile load tests;

support of excavations; performed weld, bolt, steel, roof deck and veneer

reviews; performed masonry review and mortar and grout testing; performed

wood roof frame and deck reviews; performed reviews on reinforcement on

retaining walls, shallow and deep foundations, spray-on fireproofing review

and testing.
