Matt Vera, PE Education: II
<br />Sewer Main Relining/Rehabilitation
<br />Mr. Vera has provided design engineering in various water and
<br />wastewater projects including domestic and reclaimed water
<br />pipelines, gravity sewer mains, sewer main rehabilitations, pump
<br />stations, lift stations, wells, flow control facilities, and pressure
<br />reducing valve vaults. Matt's project experience includes preparation
<br />of construction plans, specifications, design calculations, project
<br />reports, studies, and memorandums.

<br />SA-1 Hydro -Generator Replacement, City of Santa Ana, CA. Total Years of Experience:
<br />2020 - Present. Project Engineer. Engineering design services for S
<br />replacement of a 33-year old turbine generator. Services include
<br />removing the existing turbine/generator and installing a new unit and Years with Tetra Tech:
<br />connecting to the electrical and control systems, upgrading the 3
<br />ventilation system, new RTU control panel, coordination with Enterprise
<br />Automation, and replacement of the existing switchboard and MCC. The demolition of the existing unit
<br />will include the removal of the generator, turbine shaft, impellers and upper housing. Replacement will
<br />include new construction involving, new motorized valve upstream of the new turbine/generator, new
<br />manual valve downstream, new ball valve with motorized flow controller, and new PRV valve.
<br />Well No. 32 Rehabilitation, City of Santa Ana, CA. 2017 - Present. Project Engineer. The project
<br />required a PDR, plans, and specification development for the rehabilitation of the well facility. The
<br />underground well would be scraped, cleaned and modified within an above -ground CMU block control
<br />building (housing mechanical and electrical rooms). The design also includes 3,500 feet of 12-inch
<br />discharge pipe to John Garthe Reservoir with a bridge crossing, modification at the reservoir to connect
<br />to the on -site piping and a separate on -site generation sodium hypochlorite building including restroom
<br />and shower facilities.
<br />Regional Lift Station Enhancements, Moulton Niguel Water District, Laguna Niguel, CA.
<br />2017 - Ongoing. Project Engineer. Tetra Tech was selected to provide miscellaneous
<br />enhancements/rehabilitations to improve the reliability of the District's Regional Lift Station. The project
<br />included installation of a 13,000 gallon per minute independently -powered, self -priming, backup
<br />pumping system which will engage during loss of power (whether scheduled or emergency) or routine
<br />pump maintenance, the downsizing one of five existing sewage pumps with the installation a sewage
<br />grinder to better handle low flow conditions and the addition of supplementary wet well capacity to
<br />mediate issues with the existing wet well overflow. The project included rehabilitation to an existing wet
<br />well and a removable roof installation over the existing valve vault to allow easier access for future
<br />maintenance. The construction sequencing is of key importance as the lift station is required to remain
<br />on-line throughout enhancements.
<br />Regional Treatment Plant Southerly Influent Sewer Improvements, Moulton Niguel Water
<br />District, Laguna Niguel, CA. 2018 - Present. Design Engineer for the modification and rehabilitation of
<br />to the southerly influent sewers for South Orange County Wastewater Authority's Regional Treatment
<br />Plant. The project consisted of the demolition and replacement of the existing influent structures to
<br />consolidate flows into the plant, the rehabilitation of approximately 700 LF of existing 36-inch diameter
<br />sewers with cured -in -place pipe lining, the installation of a new cast -in -place diversion structure and the
<br />rehabilitation of the existing 72-inch manholes. A flow metering structure and flow metering equipment
<br />were also added to the influent sewers to allow for more accurate pre-treatment chemical dosing. Site
<br />improvements were made to improve egress and ingress for the District including the addition of a
<br />supplemental access gate and access road. Conceptual bypass plans and construction sequence were
<br />of key importance as the Regional Treatment Plant influent sewers cannot be off-line.
