Sample Projects

4 Washington DC I/I Project (2004): I participated in proposal writing and interview and now managing the project for ATS-Chester Engineers. This project involves a comprehensive study of the Beaverdam Branch Sewer Basin in the Washington, DC area in Prince George’s County. It includes the combination of future flow and capacity needs analysis, Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) analysis, Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES), and an inventory, prioritization, and plan for addressing exposed sewer pipes. The project includes $650,000 of H&H modeling and GIS integration work.

4 Massachusetts CSO Project (2000): I was responsible for the successful development of the concept, plan, and proposal for the first of its kind Lynn, Massachusetts CSO abatement project. Costing $35 million less than our competition, our $47 million CSO solution was both innovative and affordable. This project represents the world’s first design/build CSO project! The mayor of Lynn has publicly stated that our approach will save the city 400 million dollars.

4 Pittsburgh Interceptor Project (1993-99): Pittsburgh’s Saw Mill Run Watershed was experiencing basement flooding due to inadequate interceptor capacity and stream pollution due to CSO discharges. My solution was construction of a 4-mile long parallel relief interceptor. The $24 million construction project was designed to capture 85% of CSO discharges annually. The innovative design also allowed future retrofitting of four 10 million gallon CSO storage facilities. The preliminary design was completed in 6 months using a computer hydraulic model (XP-SWMM). The modeling study started in 1994 and the construction was completed in 1999. This project has successfully eliminated the Saw Mill Run watershed problems.
