Galveston, Texas, United States
A dedicated professional with over nine years of professional work experience in civil/geotechnical engineering, and over three years of research experience in deep foundations design and numerical simulation.
Worked as a civil simulation engineer, who used computer simulation technologies and engineering design concepts to test the performance, durability, safety and functionality of engineering designs in a virtual environment, so the company became able to cut down on costs by testing solutions in situations where physical testing would be impossible.
1) Successfully managed over 200 geotechnical engineering projects, including preparing drilling plans, supervising field exploration, determining project costs and preparing proposals without missing schedules 2) Initiated numerical simulation and structural analysis and performed engineering calculations for over 30 projects, as engineering and construction references 3) Conducted field review and analysis for shallow and deep foundations, including installation of drilled and driven piles, and dynamic and static pile load tests 4) Executed field experiments for over 30 projects, including oil pipelines foundations construction, electricity transmission lines towers subsoil strength, commercial and residential buildings foundations etc.
1) Implemented construction field quality inspection and maintained daily progress records of over 100 drilled shafts for the Keystone XL Pipeline Project at Cushing, Oklahoma 2) Monitored designated drilling depths, concrete grade and steel cages lengths, cooperated closely with the subcontractors and reported potential quality problems to the client 3) Precisely staked out drilling locations of 137 windmills using Trimble Site Positioning System for the Miami Wind Farm Project in Miami, TX 4) Evaluated soil seismic properties and liquefaction potential using the ReMi shear wave technique 5) Executed in situ soil resistance test to determine the safe distances between adjacent windmills 6) Responsible for controlling vibrator amperage and average stones consumption for vibration-crushed stone columns installation in soft soil and maintained construction record for Tigard Wal-Mart Project 7) Performed seismic liquefaction potential evaluation using ProShake software package
