Staff Civil / Water Resources Engineer

• Jul 2016 - Sep 2017

Civil Engineering: • Composed the 60% construction drawing specifications to be used on a pipeline river crossing replacement project. Designed bank protection structures to be installed and recommended pipeline burial depths and sagbend setbacks based on fluvial geomorphology of the river. • Completed a series of NRCS dam rehabilitation assessment reports utilizing both HEC-RAS and TUFLOW modeling. Hydrotechnical Engineering: • Collaborated on a project involving the installation of ballasted log jams and grade control structures that are intended to redirect flow along a stretch of the Naches River. Assisted in the design calculations and construction drawings for the generation of 60% design, both 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling of the proposed design and an adaptive management plan. • Completed a hydrotechnical memorandum providing preliminary recommendations for bank scour protection at two unstable slope sections along the St. John River. Developed, with a team, a design which could withstand ice jams utilizing HEC-RAS and TUFLOW. • Conducted a scour analysis and rip-rap sizing for a pipeline crossing along Sonoma Creek; complete with geomorphic design.
