REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Critical Infrastructure
• No Business Creek Tunnel, Lawrenceville, Georgia – Responsible for construction materials testing and observation of field tests during shaft and tunnel construction for the approximate 17,000-foot long underground wastewater storage tunnel facility. (Anticipated revenues of up to $2,000,000)
Heavy Industrial
• Hemlock Semiconductor, Clarksville, Tennessee – Responsible for coordinating the geophysical portion of the geotechnical exploration. 80+ Refraction Microtremor surveys were performed across the approximate 500-acre site to measure the subsurface shear wave velocity to determine the IBC Seismic Site Class at each building area. Downhole seismic testing was also performed across the site as a correlation to the ReMi surveys. The data was also intended to supplement boring data and electrical resistivity surveys to assess the rock levels, karst and sinkhole potential, and to provide an overall broader geotechnical exploration program. Specifically related to the karst conditions at the site, ReMi surveys were performed within suspect depressions to generate 2D and 3D models in an effort to provide recommendations for sinkhole remediation. A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) was performed as part of a site specific seismic assessment to evaluate the seismic potential of the site for a design seismic event. Results of the geophysical and seismic evaluation work provided cost savings in excess of $100,000,000 to the client for the project. (Revenues in excess of $35,000)
Energy
• Sequoyah Nuclear Power Plant – Unit 2 Steam Generator Replacement, Soddy Daisy, Tennessee – Downhole seismic survey was performed to supplement the geotechnical exploration and to measure shear wave and compression wave velocities of the subsurface materials in order to evaluate dynamic soil and rock properties relative to the cranes’ foundations support. The cranes varied in size from moderate sized crawler cranes up to a 2,000 ton capacity crane. (Revenues of $10,000)

• To expand my certifications base, my intentions are to acquire the Spray-Applied Fireproofing Special Inspector, Soils Special Inspector, and ACI Level I certifications later this year. Early next year, I plan to obtain the Structural Welding Special Inspector and Structural Steel and Bolting Special Inspector certifications to complete the Master of Special Inspector certification requirements.
• I was nominated to “Senior Engineer†status for seismic and geophysical services by QORE’s peer group and Chief Operations Officer and have been in the process of satisfying requirements set forth to fulfill the designation.
• Seismic and Geophysical Related Experience
• Seismic refraction surveys (ASTM 5777) have been performed to generate subsurface profiles to depths of 100+ feet for evaluation of potential difficult excavation conditions and to supplement other geotechnical/geophysical exploration methods for sites ranging in size from 1 acre to 1,400+ acres.
