Todak I Associate III <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Sincejoining WJE in 2016, Heather Todak has <br />worked on numerous projects involving <br />concrete assessment and repair, structural <br />evaluation, historic concrete inspections, and <br />nondestructive testing. Her work has involved <br />both existing structures and construction - <br />period services. <br />Ms. Todak specializes in the application of <br />nondestructive evaluation techniques for the <br />assessment of concrete and masonry <br />structural elements. She is an experienced <br />practitioner in the fields of ground - <br />penetrating radar (CPR), impact echo, <br />ultrasonic shear wave tomography, and <br />ultrasonic pulse velocity. She has Investigated, <br />tested, and provided repair recommendations <br />for a wide variety of structures including <br />bridges, high-rise concrete structures, parking <br />structures, post -tensioned concrete <br />structures, water treatment infrastructure, <br />and historic buildings. <br />She is affiliated with several nondestructive <br />testing related committees and <br />subcommittees with the ACI, including <br />technical committees 228 and associated <br />subcommittees through which she has <br />assisted in the development of several ACI <br />documents and certification programs. <br />REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS <br />Nondestructive Evaluation <br />a Rinconada Water Treatment Plant- Los <br />Gatos, CA: Reinforcement cover assessment <br />and repair design <br />a Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI)- <br />Charlotte, NC: Nondestructive evaluation <br />capabilities research study for reinforced <br />concrete elements and grouted post - <br />tensioning ducts <br />a Trimont Condominiums: Pittsburgh, PA: <br />Concrete facade evaluation with <br />electromagnetic scanning methods <br />Berkshire Dilworth Apartments: Charlotte, NC: <br />Detection of PVC plumbing lines in interior <br />wall systems <br />a Lone Star Legal Aid Building- Houston, TX: <br />Fire damage -related assessment of concrete <br />framing <br />Concrete Structures <br />■ USC Pacific Asia Museum - Pasadena, CA: <br />Basement moisture investigation <br />a Leo Baeck Temple - Los Angeles, CA: <br />Concrete retaining wall investigation <br />a 901 East 3rd Street- Los Angeles, CA: Non - <br />ductile concrete building assessment <br />a King Edward Apartment Building - <br />Pittsburgh, PA: Structural evaluation of <br />concrete columns <br />■ The Ritz -Carlton Hotel- Laguna Niguel, CA: <br />Parking structure evaluation and repair of <br />post -tensioning components <br />a Susquehanna Nuclear Power Plant - <br />Susquehanna, PA: As -built survey of <br />reinforcement and embedments for <br />structural modifications <br />Testing and Instrumentation <br />a United States Coast Guard- Sector San Juan, <br />Puerto Rico: FRC pier investigation, <br />including structural assessment, service life <br />modeling, instrumentation, and load testing <br />a Puente Hills Recycling Facility- Whittier, CA: <br />Reinforced concrete placement and <br />finishing evaluation <br />Historic Preservation <br />a John Anson Ford Amphitheatre - Los <br />Angeles, CA: Historic concrete evaluation <br />and repair documents <br />a Church of Christ Scientist- Santa Barbara, <br />CA: Structural evaluation and damage <br />assessment <br />a Washington National Cathedral - <br />Washington, D.C.: Ceiling crack mapping <br />after 2011 Virginia earthquake <br />WJEENGINEERS <br />ENGINEERS <br />MATERIALS SCIENnSrS <br />
