      Green Line Extension Project – Performed daily inspections for a 4.7-mile light railline, which extends the original Lechmere Station in East Cambridge, MA, to aterminus at College Avenue in Medford, MA, and a spur to Union Square. Inspectionsperformed included but not limited to: Soils & aggregates (natural/manufactured) placement, compaction Concrete/shotcrete placement, rebar/forms Asphalt placement, compaction, delivery methods Removal & disposal of unsuitable soils, identification Utilities installation, backfill process MSE walls installation, backfill process Punch WalksQuality Surveillance Reports (QSR) were written for activities listed above andexamples can be provided if requested. In these reports, all aspects of work wereexplained in thorough detail to provide all non-field personnel with information likethe specifications used, activity details, page sheet on plan, and other importantaspects of the work performed.Using previous construction experience and current engineering knowledge, many infield problems were mitigated on-site. As updates occur frequently in today’sconstruction world, all parties need to be synchronized, especially the workersphysically building the designed entity. Ensuring that the schedule, cost, and qualityof all work was appropriate for the application given was essential to the projectcompletion.
