I am the NYC Office Manager and Structural Team Leader for the NYC/NJ/Philly/Pittsburgh offices within the WWW Division. I lead a team of 19 Structural Engineers and Designers. We provide structural design and construction support for water and wastewater treatment facilities as well as systems related to water and sanitary conveyance. It is common for us to design multi-story treatment facilities, deep underground pumping stations, large water retaining structures and interceptor box culverts. These structures can house 200 HP pumps, bridge cranes exceeding 16 tons capacities, 60,000 lb GAC units, and 100,000 lb generators. Our structures will are designed for a 300 psf live load and will have a 50 to 100 years design life. There is nothing typical. In addition to supporting water infrastructure, we also support the Tunnels Division, Ports and Harbors Division, Aviation, Energy/Power Distribution and Flood Resiliency. We provide Tunnels design support for all near and above grade structures such as Ventilation Buildings, Traffic Operations Buildings and substations platforms. Our Ports and Harbors work include the design of seawalls, over-water pedestrian viaduct, and other seaside element. Our Aviation designs include hangers and other support structures for several local airports. Our power work include facilities relates to off shore wind turbine and support client like NYPA. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, storm hardening of existing facilities has become a top priority. Recently, we have retrofitted several facilities to protect against damage from hydrodynamic forces and debris derived from 500 year storm events. These designs have included an 18 foot high storm walls with a 24 foot wide hinged storm access gate, stop-log style storm barriers, watertight doors, stormwater pumping equipment for an NYC tunnel, and elevating electrical generators above flood elevation. Many of our clients have initiatives that require the use of green materials. We are very active in meeting these needs by using recycled aggregates and post-industrial waste in concrete mixes, and locally sourcing materials. Recent green infrastructure projects include, reclaimed water treatment plants, storm water detention systems and solar energy installations.If this sounds interesting to you and you want to make that difference in the world, then take a look at Mott MacDonalds website and see what we have on offer. Or reach out to me with a custom message. I’m always happy to talk to like minded structural engineers looking for that next step in their careers.
