Coordinated and oversaw the geotechnical exploration of various project sites in the Southeastern United States. Aided in preparing work proposals for prospect sites, including developing the scope of geotechnical work appropriate for each project site and associated costs. Conducted site visits to evaluate site conditions and position boring locations. Performed or directed appropriate field tests (e.g. field-permeability, well-monitoring, soil resistivity) for the purposes of reporting the… Show more Coordinated and oversaw the geotechnical exploration of various project sites in the Southeastern United States. Aided in preparing work proposals for prospect sites, including developing the scope of geotechnical work appropriate for each project site and associated costs. Conducted site visits to evaluate site conditions and position boring locations. Performed or directed appropriate field tests (e.g. field-permeability, well-monitoring, soil resistivity) for the purposes of reporting the collected data necessary for design of site-specific features. Analyzed the collected field data and classified soil samples in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. Coordinated laboratory testing (e.g. moisture content, grain size analysis, Atterberg Limits, permeability) to further evaluate collected soil samples. Composed project-specific Geotechnical Exploration Reports including general site conditions, geological description, field exploration methods, laboratory testing methods, field and laboratory test results, and analysis and recommendations. Performed pavement evaluations which included observing and reporting pavement conditions, evaluating and reporting composition and thickness of pavement cores, and recommending pavement remediation techniques.

Designed and prepared construction drawings and calculation packages for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structures; primarily focus on AASHTO-based retaining wall design (ASD and LRFD) and FHWA-based reinforced slope design. Designed and analyzed MSE structures to satisfy internal, external, compound, and global stability; oversaw preparation of construction and fabrication drawings for MSE structures and structural components; generated calculations and design report; determine material… Show more Designed and prepared construction drawings and calculation packages for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structures; primarily focus on AASHTO-based retaining wall design (ASD and LRFD) and FHWA-based reinforced slope design. Designed and analyzed MSE structures to satisfy internal, external, compound, and global stability; oversaw preparation of construction and fabrication drawings for MSE structures and structural components; generated calculations and design report; determine material quantities necessary for MSE construction and fabrication. Designed and analyzed geogrid-reinforced earth foundation improvements by hand-calculations and utilization of proprietary software developed from full-scale testing; applied demonstrated behaviors and concepts of geogrid-reinforced foundations to site-specific conditions. Optimized asphalt and Portland Cement Concrete pavement sections by incorporating geogrid within the base course layers; experience with AASHTO 1993, Mechanistic-Empirical, and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) methodologies. Designed geogrid-reinforced unsurfaced haul and access roads by estimating subgrade strengths, assessing trafficking conditions (wheel loads, axle passes, wheel configurations, allowable rut depths, tire pressures), and considering aggregate material properties (gradation, maximum particle size, particle shape); UFC and Giroud-Han methodologies utilized. Optimized railway track sections by incorporating geogrid beneath the subballast layer while considering trafficking and subgrade conditions; Talbot method utilized. Show less
