Served as the Project Manager for the setting up the on-site lab and staffing both field technicians and lab technicians for Suulutaaq (GC). This project was under the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation to upgrade the Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam (MIAD). MIAD is the second phase of “Safety of Dams” modifications to the Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam. Located approximately two miles east of Folsom, California, MIAD is a component of the “Folsom Project,” which also includes Folsom Dam and Reservoir and eight earthfilled dikes. The construction means and methods for the MIAD project include the overlay of five distinct material zones with ten different zone configurations to be placed on the downstream side of the dam. These zoned materials, consisting of sand, gravel, and crushed rock, will be processed onsite to meet the Bureau of Reclamation’s stringent specifications. I suppported the Quality Control Plan to address: 1) the distinct zone separation requirements for proper moisture content, 2) coordination between adjacent zones due to lift thickness and 3) prevention of contamination from adjacent zones.

The top of the dam, currently stands at 100 feet above Green Valley Road and is 900-feet long by 25 feet wide. When complete, the dam reinforcement will have include an estimated 1.7 million cubic yards and widening the crest of the dam an estimated 80 feet. This project consists of site preparation to include construction for development of contractor use areas; implementation of security measures; clearing and grubbing; development of water control and erosion measures; and excavation of 106,000 cubic yards of existing embankments. The work also consists of processing, sorting, stockpiling, and placing 450,000 cubic yards of filter and gravel drain material; 1.3 million cubic yards of shell-fill material from an existing waste/stockpile located on-site, and 51,000 cubic yards of rip rap and coble slope protection.

THE FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONS BLUEPRINT
In 2014, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) continued implementation of facility improvements contained in its “Blueprint”. This comprehensive plan was designed to improve the prison system, end federal court oversight, and save billions of dollars. SB 1022 also authorized construction of three Level II dorm infill projects at existing prisons to meet the increased need for Level II housing.

HEALTH CARE FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
CDCR initiated HCFIP projects at adult institutions. These projects will improve the physical plant infrastructure to complement the medical classification system and improve the provision of outpatient medical care to the inmate population. Construction phase activities commenced at seven prisons during 2014. All planned improvements are expected to be completed in fiscal year (FY) 2017-18. The planned improvements primarily focus on providing exam rooms and other clinical spaces with appropriate confidentiality as prescribed by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, adequate infection control systems, as well as medication distribution facilities.

Served as the Project Manager for Quality Control Services including field technicians and laboratory testing services. The work described consists of all tasks to complete the Wetland Restoration Project (HWRP) located in Novato, California and represents the culmination of over ten years of effort. Included is final shaping of the South Seasonal Wetlands and Tidal Panne Area, and deconstruction of temporary earthen structures, and the dredging of a channel in the Tidal Wetland Area. Also included in the contract are three optional components: one to construct the Bay Trail along the site, the second to dredge the pilot channel from the bay to the project, and the third option to breach and degrade the bay front levee and to remove remaining access infrastructure.

Seasonal Wetlands Shaping Component:
This component consists of upland earthwork to shape and complete the south seasonal wetlands (SSW) and Tidal Panne areas. The total work (roughly 300,000 CY) includes both excavation and placement of previously dredged material within approximately 75 acre (SSW) and 10 acre (Tidal Panne) work areas (all cut and fills are internal to the areas of construction).

Tidal Wetland Component:
This is a multi-tasked component that prepares the Tidal Area of the site for Breach. It includes deconstruction of 2 pump-house facilities, and the removal of a 30" pipe and its bedding that was previously used in bringing the dredged material to the site. Also included is the removal of temporary earthen connector berms which had separated the overall Tidal Area into separate cells during previous filling operations (approximately 45,000 cu yds of excavation), and the digging out of the channel near the breach internal to the site (approximately 50,000 cu yds of excavation).

The reinforced concrete floodwall will be built to an elevation of 20.5 feet with an approximate height from 0 to 18 feet above existing grade. At the south end of the alignment the floodwall transitions to an earthen levee section where an existing SMUD 20" Gas Pipeline crosses the existing Union house Creek levee (1B2) alignment. The levee is approximately 80-feet long with a 2:1 landside slope, 3:1 waterside slope and a 12-foot crest width. A 12-foot wide aggregate base patrol road with a pre-cast concrete drainage system runs along the entire alignment along the waterside of the floodwall. Show less

These segments required quality control staffing of 2-4 on-site staff members for replacement of the numerous RAMP segments. Quality Control staff had extensive concrete related experience and working in a high production environments. Quality Control staff each possessed over 5 to 10 years of concrete related experience and working in a high production environment.

Services:
Documentation of field conditions
Reinforcing Steel Locations
Rebar Layout Diagrams (Size & Orientation)
Concrete Core Testing (Modules of Elasticity, Compression, Unit Weight)
Metal Deck Coupons (Yield Strength, Ultimate Strength & Modules of Elasticity)
Steel Coupons (Yield Strength, Ultimate Strength & Modules of Elasticity)
Weld Testing (Chemical Analysis & Weld Hardness – Bernell)

Challenges & Solutions:
Seismic investigations require an experienced team to understand unforeseen conditions and implements problem solving solutions to achieve program objectives. Wall thicknesses, access challenges and knowledge based experience ensured schedules and cost impact issues were mitigated in real time. Unforeseen conditions required a team who adapted to deviations from as-built drawings and provide guidance when information was vague or unattainable.

Our staff developed unique steel NDT and Destructive Testing procedures for structural steel components and concrete cores including customized testing documenting procedures. This proactive approached resulted in additional data analysis beyond the contract document requirements. Our team continuously looked at ways to enhance the quality and depth of data needed to comply with SB 1953 regulations. Show less

Components of the facility include an in-river intake fish screen, sheet-piled in-river transition structure, electrical substation, surge control facility, sediment collection and settling basin system, and utilities. FRWA has constructed a slurry wall on the levee in order to strengthen the levee near the South Pocket neighborhood, in advance of scheduled levee improvements by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A landscaped buffer is being maintained between homes adjacent to the facility property and the structures. FRWA has commissioned a regional artist to construct an art and poetry wall on the front of the structure. The facility includes state-of-the-art fish screens, valves, VFDs and large diameter pipeline (72-inch and 84-inch). In addition, two micro-tunnels were bored under I-5 and Freeport Boulevard.

FPIP staff prepared a preliminary engineering technical report (18 MB) in 2003 and a mitigated negative declaration and initial study for the project in 2008.

The Sutter Bypass East Borrow Canal Water Control Structures Project proposes to remove the existing weir and fish ladder and replace them with new structures that are more effective and safer to operate. Approximately 100 ft downstream of the existing weir, DWR will construct a new weir that has the same dimensions as the existing weir, and a new fish ladder on the bank opposite the existing fish ladder. The new weir will have three main channels, which utilize remotely operated inflatable Obermeyer gates to control water levels upstream in the EBC, and six side bays controlled by manually removable flashboards.
