J.A. JONES, Charlston, NC
Marine Manager, Braddock Lock & Dam, Duquesne, PA
This dam, located on the Monongahela River, is the first use of innovative in-the-wet construction in this country by the USACE. Responsibilities included all planning, preparation and implementation to float, launch, tow, outfit and immerse floating dam segments from the point of manufacture to the point of installation. These segments were comprised of precast concrete pieces connected and compartmented so as to develop final dam segments which were 106-feet wide by 333-feet long by 40-feet high and drafting 24 feet.
GUY F. ATKINSON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, So. San Francisco, CA
Marine Manager, Land Level Transfer Facility, Bath, ME
Develop methodology and equipment to float, transport ¾-mile and set 400-ton precast concrete units at depths of 25-feet water in tidal and current impacted river without the use of cranes. Units to be winched into position to tolerances within ¼-inch. Jacks in the beams to be used for final vertical positioning. Horizontal positioning to utilize survey towers on the unit and involve GPS survey systems as well as land based equipment. Develop methodology, procedures and equipment to install approximately 1000 each P/C, P/S concrete piling socketed into 10,000 psi basalt rock to support the wharf. Instrumental in changing the CIP structure above the piling to a precast cap, beam and deck system to allow for continuous year round work at elevations minimally projecting above the river. Responsible for the procurement and rig up of the entire project marine fleet consisting of approximately 35 each crane and support barges, including a jack-up barge. This entailed barges upwards of 72 by 250-feet with 2 each 250-ton cranes with 210-foot boom, drill rig, four-point anchoring system and two- point spud system.
Estimator
Estimate preparation in Main Office on heavy civil projects. Also troubleshooting assistance to various projects as needed.
Marine Manager, 1st Avenue Bridge, Seattle, WA
Ballast, roll-on to load, transport bascule bridge halves onto barges, move into position for erection, and erect bridge. The halves were assembled on site adjacent to the permanent location. Loading, moving and hoisting took place at two different times within the life of the project. This involved large loads; critical positioning of the load on the barge, as well as critical positioning of the barge and hoisting equipment; coordinating ballasting and tide impacted loading conditions. Coordinated with river traffic on the Dwamish River to schedule work to minimize impacts to surrounding activities such as river traffic and bridge openings of existing bridge facilities.
Marine Manager, Floating Bridge, Seattle, WA
Load, transport and install floating bridge opening replacement sections on the 520 / Evergreen Point Bridge on Lake Washington. This involved multiple tugs, restrictive working access to get the units into the tuning fork shaped pocket of the floating bridge without damage to the floating bridge and critical ballasting requirements to align for make up connections to the floating sections. This was also done under time sensitive 24 hr around the clock schedules.

Marine Manager, New Jamestown Bridge, Saunderstown, RI
Responsibility to develop procedures and equipment, and to oversee the installation of cylinder piles, “H” piles and pipe piles, both from land and water. Responsibility to manufacture, handle, transport approximately five-miles and position barges approximately 40-feet by 175-feet by 16-feet to pick up and move precast concrete bridge segments. These segments were approximately 72-feet by 200-feet by 15 feet weighing upwards of 2400-tons each. These tows were handled with multiple tugs and positioned between bridge piers for hoisting with 32-strand hoist units mounted on the pier table caps, to a height of upwards of 150-feet above the water. Responsible for the procurement and rig up of the entire project marine fleet consisting of approximately 30 each crane and support barges. This included the movement of the movement of cylinder piles and AASHTO bridge girders from Norfolk, VA.
