<br />hydraulics, tributary area basin hydrology, report writing, cost estimating, and alternative
<br />analysis.
<br />
<br />Flat Rock Drainage Master Plan, City of Tulsa, OK
<br />Project Engineer: Master planning for an area that included three major drainage basins totaling
<br />almost 38 square miles. Extensive hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for floodplain delineation
<br />and alternative analysis. Preliminary designs were prepared for detention facilities, and
<br />alternatives evaluation included hydraulic structure combinations, acquisition, flood proofing,
<br />and modifications to existing structures. Capitalized cost, safety, and extensive damage analyses
<br />were included in the total alternative analysis. High hazard zones were identified, and a
<br />comprehensive prioritized basin-wide plan was compiled.
<br />
<br />Bridle Trails Master Plan Update, City of Tulsa, OK
<br />Project Engineer: Update of drainage basin master plan, included hydrology and hydraulic
<br />analysis, alternative evaluation, and cost estimating. A custom reservoir routing program was
<br />written to model a side spill detention pond that included tailwater effect on the side spill weir
<br />and backwater effects on the flow split structure. An extensive damage analysis included
<br />generating damage curves for 30 events, with individual calculations for more than 50 homes or
<br />points of interest.
<br />
<br />Golf Course Engineering, Colorado:
<br />Thorncreek Golf Course, City of Thornton, CO
<br />Battlement Mesa Golf Course Improvements, Exxon USA, Parachute, CO
<br />
<br />Project Engineer and Project Manager Roles: Design of drainage components golf courses in
<br />floodplains. Work included hydrology, design of heavy infrastructure and drainage
<br />improvements. Design of water features and drainage channels, including flow determination,
<br />erosion protection, a recirculation system, culvert entrances and outlets, ponds, and waterfalls.
<br />
<br />East Cherry Creek Detention Facility, East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation
<br />District, Denver, CO
<br />Project Engineer: Preliminary design, including facilities layout, extensive hydraulic analysis,
<br />probable maximum flood hydrology, embankment erosion analysis, hydraulic structure design,
<br />and energy dissipater design. Involved with state engineering criteria and the State Engineer's
<br />Office.
<br />
<br />Morrison Diversion Dam, Pipeline and Grit Chamber, Town of Morrison, Morrison, CO
<br />Project Engineer: Design of a 24-inch suspended and insulated steel pipeline along Bear Creek
<br />Canyon. Design involved attaching pipeline supports to rock face, 90-foot span bridges, a
<br />110-foot-Iong tunnel, and specialized insulating and jacketing detail. Design of a 15-cfs raw
<br />water grit chamber in a remote area and preliminary design for a diversion dam and intake
