Peter Zydek, Ei Email & Phone Number

I am a civil engineer with emphasis on geotechnical investigation and construction inspection. I have performed and classified thousands of hand auger borings, extracted and evaluated hundreds of roadway pavement samples, conducted dozens of double-ring infiltration analyses, inspected twelve drilled shaft installations, monitored vibrations during pipe installation and pile extraction on FDOT resurfacing, widening and road construction projects. I have consistently completed field operations accurately and under time, greatly contributing to our company’s being shortlisted for district-wide contracts. For all of 2017, I was the project manager of a team of students working on sewer designs for the city of Palmetto, FL; I modelled alternative designs with SewerGEMS, conducted cost comparisons, and gave regular presentations to city engineers and officials. With this project, my team won first and fourth in the student design competitions at two conferences held by the water environment federation, FWRC and WEFTEC, respectively. I have one year of experience using ArcGIS: the fundamental course and a project for which I helped to create a GIS land-use map of the Peace River drainage basin and incorporated it into a BASINS model to compare NOAA rainfall and USGS stream flow data. For two years, I was part of an environmental engineering lab developing decentralized wastewater treatment technologies. I helped to fabricate a modular anaerobic [ultrafiltration] membrane bioreactor. In 2014, I re-rendered a hand-drawing of a disinfection reactor with AutoCAD and created a 2-D hydraulic model of [RANS] turbulence and chemical advection/diffusion using COMSOL MultiPhysics.As a biology student, I volunteered in ecological field research investigating upland pine fire ecology, and invasion of non-native grass in a cow pasture.

Listed skills include Environmental Engineering, Autocad Civil 3D, Arcgis, Bentley Sewergems, and 8 others.
