A LEIGHTON CONSULTING INC -GEOTECHNICAL I <br />PENCO Engineering, Inc. has solid working relationship <br />with Leighton Consulting. When a project requires <br />Geotechnical services, PENCO Engineering, Inc. will <br />coordinate and facilitate the management of geotechnical <br />services including: scheduling, oversight of preliminary <br />sampling, testing, and exploratory excavations as well as the <br />generation of geotechnical and material reports. PENCO <br />Engineering, Inc. has a working history with Leighton <br />Consulting, who, if needed, can work in conjunction with <br />PENCO Engineering, Inc. to fulfill an of the City of Santa <br />Ana's needs. This firm has performed geotechnical work all <br />over Orange County and Southern California. <br />rirm Profile: <br />Leighton Consulting, Inc. (Leighton) provides engineer <br />solutions to public agencies, property owners, and facilities. <br />Their focus is the earth sciences encompassing the <br />geotechnical and environmental disciplines. They provide a <br />balanced team of licensed geotechnical engineers and <br />engineering geologists experienced in identifying and <br />mitigating geotechnical and geological hazards throughout <br />California and Arizona. <br />During their 47 year history, they have completed thousands <br />of projects in the region, developing a vast database of <br />geologic and geotechnical conditions, which is available to <br />Leighton's engineers and geologists. Their clients benefit <br />indirectly from this historical and scientific database. <br />Their successful completion of projects up to $1 Billion in <br />construction value, and over 35 awards for engineering <br />excellence are a sound proof of their understanding of the <br />importance of providing good service, on time and on <br />budget for any size project, to sustain a long term <br />relationship with their clients. <br />Representative Projects <br />On -Call Environment Services - City of Santa Ana <br />Working under an on-call contract, Leighton has provided <br />Phase I and II ESAs and remediation services for various <br />projects, including the Transportation Center Art Wall and <br />Bristol Street Widening, for the City of Santa Ana. <br />Bristol Street Widening - City of Santa Ana <br />In preparation for the widening of Bristol Street for the <br />proposed Centerline Light Rail project, Leighton provided <br />an investigation and identification of suspected <br />underground storage tanks and associated fuel <br />contaminants in site soils at First Street and Bristol in Santa <br />Ana. Geophysical surveys were combined with direct push, <br />hand auger, and hollow -stem auger soil sampling and <br />selective trenching to identify a 10,000 gallon gasoline tank <br />that had been abandoned in place. The environmental data <br />was used to develop remedial response costs to offset the <br />property purchase price. The tank removal and site <br />remediation work was pending completion of the property <br />purchase. <br />Proposed Team: <br />DJAN CHANDRA, PE, GE - PRINCIPAL ENGINEER <br />Mr. Chandra brings 20 years of experience in geotechnical <br />services for a broad range of projects including civil facilities, <br />including large- scale residential and commercial <br />developments, high-rise, transportation, governmental and <br />utility projects. His areas of expertise include foundation <br />design, soil reinforcement, slope stability analysis, finite <br />element analysis, and computer applications in geotechnical <br />engineering. His extensive experience in design and <br />application of geosynthetics reinforcements in geotechnical <br />engineering, including over steepened slopes, pavement sub <br />grade stabilization, and segmental retaining walls has <br />proven an asset on a variety of projects. He is familiar with <br />various field monitoring equipment, such as inclinometer for <br />slope monitoring, manometer level survey and settlement <br />plate. <br />VIVIAN M. CHENG, PE - PROJECT ENGINEER <br />Ms. Cheng provides management and oversight of the work <br />of other engineers and field technicians. She performs <br />geotechnical engineering analyses, prepares reports, and <br />provides oversight and monitoring of a broad range of <br />geotechnical construction projects and supervises and <br />reviews geotechnical engineering analyses and reports <br />prepared by staff level engineers and field technicians. Her <br />technical expertise includes design of shallow and deep <br />foundation systems, seismic hazard analyses, settlement <br />analyses, reinforced soil structures, slope stability analyses <br />and ground improvement. <br />Geotechnical Services: <br />• Soft and/or compressible soils <br />• Moisture sensitive (collapsible and/or expansive soils <br />• Faulting and seismicity <br />• Hazardous materials in the soils and/or ground water <br />• Slope and excavation stability <br />• Secondary seismic hazards such as liquefaction, <br />seismically induced slope instability, lateral spreading, <br />dynamic differential settlement, seiche and tsunami, etc <br />• Ground water issues during construction <br />• Methane and other hazardous gases <br />• Corrosive and otherwise chemically active soils <br />13 <br />
