<br />AMIR GHAVIBAZOO, PHD
<br />POTHOLING TASK LEADER
<br />Twining I Director of Asphalt Engineering & Pavement Design
<br />Mr. Amir Ghavibazoo, PhD, has extensive practical experience in
<br />asphalt pavement engineering including pavement design, rehabilitation,
<br />preservation, pavement management, materials and construction.
<br />His experience includes the characterization of rubberized asphalt
<br />binders and developing mix designs following Superpave specifications.
<br />Additionally, he has extensive experience with advanced performance
<br />testing of asphalt binder including Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR),
<br />Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) and other asphalt binder quality
<br />control tests. He works closely with cities and government agencies to
<br />develop unique and specialized mix designs, pavement constructions
<br />inspections, and pavement design solutions.
<br />RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
<br />Pavement Evaluation, Studebaker Road, Long Beach, CA
<br />Pavement Engineer. Serving as pavement engineer, Mr. Ghavibazoo
<br />performed pavement evaluation on 0.5 mile stretch of Studebaker road
<br />for the City of Long Beach. The surface condition assessment was
<br />performed following the Caltrans Flexible Pavement Rehabilitation
<br />Manual. Boring and coring were performed to investigate the subsurface
<br />condition of the road. Based on collected information, different
<br />rehabilitation strategies were calculated and recommended to the City
<br />of Long Beach, including Cold In -place Recycled Asphalt Concrete
<br />Pavement (CIRACP) and Cement Stabilized Pulverized Base (CSPB).
<br />Mr. Ghavibazoo provided the City with a final pavement evaluation and
<br />recommendation report, provided CIRACP mix design services, and
<br />oversaw all quality assurance testing during placement and construction.
<br />Slover Avenue - Cherry Avenue to Mulberry Avenue, Fontana, CA
<br />Pavement Engineer & Project Manager. Twining provided geotechnical
<br />services to evaluate Solver Avenue (from Cherry Avenue to Mulberry
<br />Avenue) and recommend rehabilitation strategies and provided material
<br />testing and inspection during the construction phase. Our team
<br />provided asphalt concrete pavement coring, identification of sub -surface
<br />conditions and provided geotechnical recommendations for pavement
<br />rehabilitation as well as performed materials testing and inspection
<br />during the construction phase. Mr. Ghavibazoo served as the pavement
<br />engineer and project manager. He conducted engineering analysis, and
<br />prepared pavement evaluation and recommendations.
