<br />Sewer Master Plan, City of Whittier, CA. 2018. Project Manager.
<br />office Location:
<br />Prepared a master plan for a sewer system serving a population of
<br />San Dimas, CA
<br />88,000. H2OMAP Sewer was used in conjunction with an existing GIS
<br />9 Years of Experience:
<br />to model the conveyance system. The use of SmartCover flow
<br />36
<br />monitoring technology allowed for model calibration as well as providing
<br />the City with a permanent ability to monitor future flows in real time.
<br />Years with Tetra Tech:
<br />Water & Sewer Feasibility Study, Islamic Community Center of 36
<br />Loma Linda, County of San Bernardino, CA. 2017. Project Manager
<br />for study that evaluated several alternatives for water and sewer service for a proposed development.
<br />The study considered hydraulics, specific alignments and their impediments (channel crossing, freeway
<br />crossing, et al), geotechnical, permitting, and costs.
<br />Hawthorne Boulevard Transmission Hydraulic Analysis, City of Torrance, CA. 2016. Project
<br />Manager to assess impacts of various options to connect a 12-inch 4,300-foot-long transmission main.
<br />Computer modeling utilized H2O Map and evaluation included water age, fire flow, pressure, and other
<br />criteria. Recommendation was for a very simple option which resulted in the lowest construction cost.
<br />Durfee Avenue Grade Separation Hydraulic Analysis, Pico Water District, CA. 2016. Project
<br />Manager to assess impacts of a proposed grade separation project and make recommendations for
<br />sizing, pressure class, and connection locations. Also evaluated the potential loss of a main under a
<br />railroad at a nearby location.
<br />Water Master Plan, City of Inglewood, CA. 2015. Project Manager. The City has a population of
<br />100,000 and needed to prepare for the redevelopment of the Hollywood Park area including the
<br />development of an 80,000 seat NFL stadium and 6,000 seat music venue. Water demands considered
<br />unique demand patterns for the proposed NFL stadium and support facilities. The City's GIS system
<br />was utilized to facilitate modeling of the three pressure zone distribution system with InfoWater
<br />software. The distribution system included four groundwater wells, treatment plant, pump station, two
<br />reservoirs, four pressure reducing facilities, two MWD imported water connections, six emergency
<br />connections, and 156 miles of piping. A prioritized capital improvement program and financial plan was
<br />developed with 6 priorities and a total of about $55 million in construction costs.
<br />Potable Water Reservoir Feasibility Study, City of El Segundo, CA. 2013. Project Manager for
<br />feasibility level report to determine location and configuration of a 7.5-million-gallon reservoir to
<br />increase the City's emergency storage capacity. The desired capacity was determined using the City's
<br />existing water master plan and current demand data, and potential sites throughout the entire City were
<br />first screened based upon available land, constructability, and public disturbance considerations. The
<br />potential sites were then evaluated based on infrastructure requirements, proximity to existing storage
<br />site, land use compatibility, and potential reservoir capacity. The top three potential sites were
<br />determined, and then conceptual reservoir and site configurations were developed including
<br />screening/aesthetic requirements, type of construction, and construction costs were estimated. Site
<br />renderings were created to aid in council presentations.
