For my Reinforced Concrete Design course, we had to design the columns and beams of a six story building. See attached report and calculations.

For my capstone project at UT, the City of Austin tasked me along with three other civil engineers to propose a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists in the middle of Austin's staple park, Zilker Park. We worked over the course of a sixth month period to create the proposal that is linked below. I focused on the paths design and modelling of the path. I also helped perform grade analysis, checked ADA compliance and took many site measurements.

A can opener was broken apart modelled using Autodesk Inventor and then analyzed for improvements. We noticed a plastic bearing part was weak and put the system at risk of failure under high but not unusual loads. We suggesting changing the material type for this bearing to stainless steel as it will go along with the other parts and be able to withstand the forces.

I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan and install cast in place concrete foundations for a simple cycle power plant in central Texas. With critical deadlines and tight tolerances on Combustion Turbine anchor bolts.

I planned, managed, forecasted and coordinated the self performed Form Pour Strip activities. I procured rebar, anchor bolts and formwork. I managed a rebar subcontractor performing the rebar work.

I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan and install underground electrical duct bank on a Simple Cycle Power Plant in Central Texas.

I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan and install Vibro Columns on a Simple Cycle Power Plant in Central Texas.

I planned, managed, forecasted and coordinated the self performed work and managed the subcontractor Keller.

I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan and install asphalt paving on Blue Sky WRF, a $1BN water reclamation facility for Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Taylor, Texas. Major quantities consisted of:

Self Performed:

RDC Paving:

I planned, managed, forecasted and coordinated the self performed work and managed the subcontractor RDC Paving.

I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan the installation of a Discharge Pipeline on Blue Sky WRF, a $1BN water reclamation facility for Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Taylor, Texas. The Discharge Pipeline consisted of 9016' of 48" RCP and 398' of 30" RCP. Along with 32 manholes and a headwall structure. The average depth of the RCP was 21' deep with a major section of the pipeline deeper than 25'. This required significant shoring planning and dirt management. I planned the work, equipment, suppliers, schedule and Inspection and Testing Plan. After getting two headings up and running, I shifted into a foreman role to help get the work completed in the field. We averaged 72' of RCP installed each day.

I worked as an engineer on Blue Sky WRF, a $1BN water reclamation facility for Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Taylor, Texas. I was the field engineer on the team that installed 3,967 Auger Cast in Place Piles ranging from 60-80' deep. We peaked at 5 drill rigs running at the same time. I focused on tracking, reporting, coordinating and planning the installation of these piles. I ordered and invoinced grout, managed a rebar sub, layed out/as built pile, tracked crews performance, schedule and cost. We averaged 10 pile a day with our smaller drill rigs (Casagrande B300 XP-1, B300 XP-2 and B400 XP-2) and 16 pile a day with our larger drill rigs (LB 35, BG 36). Using SEBHSA Pumps and CAT 315 to clean out around pile. Skidsteer, loader and haul truck to remove spoils.

While interning at Kiewit Infrustructure South Co. I led an operation to install 1000 stone coloumns that would support a future bridge abutment. The crew consisted of three operators, a mechanic and a laborer. We progressed at about 50 coulumns a day ranging from 8 to 12 feet deep.
