■ AECOM Edward Ng, PE Civil Lead Education and Registrations BS /1972 /Civil Engineering PE /1991 /California, No: 46767 OE SAN? V 9L Ig ogla Mr. Ng's professional civil engineering experience spans both government and pri- vate consultant engineering. His work experience includes management and de- sign of roadways, highways, transit facilities, drainage systems, and water systems, as well as building and retaining wall structures. His tasks have included geometric layout production; report preparation; preliminary and final design; utility coordi- nation; drainage design; structural design; surveying; right -of -way coordination; and preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates. Mr. Ng's experience comes from a variety of projects, including roadway improvements, new freeways, inter- changes, freeway widening, railroad overheads, and bridge replacements. Jurupa Rd Railroad Grade Separation over UPRR, Riverside County, California: Project manager. Responsible for preliminary engineering development of alternatives, assessment of impacts, and preparation of funding applications for the Jurupa Road /UPRR railroad crossing in the Pedley area of Riverside County. This crossing is considered one of the most hazardous railroad crossings in the entire county. The crossing is located in close proximity to Van Buren Boulevard, designated to be a six lane expressway, which parallels and abuts the railroad right -of -way. The alternative is included combinations of OH over both the railroad and Van Buren Boulevard, and elevating both Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Road. Connections between Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Road include interchange ramps and loop connector roads. Critical issues included impacts to local businesses, retail malls, and residential properties; drainage, closure and realignment of local streets, and right -of -way impacts. Two spur track connections are proposed to be realigned to shorten the OH structure and vertical profile. Planning and layout of the proposed improvements spanning Van Buren Boulevard had to take into consideration the existing road alignment as well as the future expansion of the roadway and heard the County's general plan. Magnolia Avenue /BNSF Railroad Grade Separation Project, Riverside, California: Project manager. Responsible for preliminary engineering development of alternatives, assessment of impacts, and preparation of funding applications for the Magnolia Avenue /BNSF railroad crossing in the Home Gardens area of Riverside County. This crossing is considered one of the most hazardous railroad crossings in the entire county. The crossing is located in close proximity to the Buchanan Avenue /BNSF crossing. During very heavy traffic conditions, congestion at each of the crossings interact with each other to further exacerbate the congestion and hazards of the crossing. The alternatives developed and evaluated include three overhead alternatives and one underpass alternative involving elevated railroad tracks. The alternatives ranged from a standalone grade separation Project to one that is coordinated in conjunction with the Buchanan Avenue /BNSF crossing in the city of Riverside and the McKinley Street/ BNSF crossing in the city of Corona. Critical project issues included access to adjacent businesses, work adjacent to two flood control channels, extreme skew angle of crossing, potential phasing of improvements, construction staging alternatives facilitating traffic movement, complex bridge column and foundation configurations, and coordination with the railroad and multiple jurisdictions. McKinley St. Grade Separation over BNSF, Corona, California: Project engineer. Responsible for development of alternatives during planning phase of project. McKinley Street from the SR -91 freeway to Magnolia Avenue is a major arterial lined with retail malls and businesses. Because of the lack of crossings across the Arlington flood control channel and railroad tracks, McKinley Street is a heavily traveled route for access to the SR -91 freeway by the local community and businesses. Alternatives included a typical OH alternative as well as a UP alternative involving elevating over a mile of railroad track. AECOM was responsible for the production of a project study report (PSR) and a preliminary environmental analysis report (PEAR) for the McKinley Street grade separation over the BNSF railroad.
