<br /> Boise and Payette River, Evaluation Project, Boise River 2000 Group, Boise, ID
<br /> Principal -in- Charge: Overall responsibility for assessment of sites that cover 8 miles of the Boise and
<br /> Payette Rivers. Work includes relating river characterization to man-made structures and diversions.
<br /> Feasibility Study for Whitewater Training Site, United States Training Committee, Colorado Springs, CO
<br /> Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer: Hydrology, hydraulics, and water quality evaluation for
<br /> determining the feasibility of building a whitewater training site in the region of the Colorado Springs
<br /> Olympic Training Center.
<br /> Various Whitewater Park Feasibility Studies, USA
<br /> Principal -in- Charge, Lead Engineer: Conducted over five feasibility studies to evaluate costs and
<br /> potential of proposed special purpose whitewater courses and multi - purpose river recreational projects.
<br /> Efforts and Responsibilities included hydraulic analysis, concept -level design, cost estimating, and
<br /> reports.
<br /> Whitewater Physical Model Study, Graduate Work, Stanford University
<br /> As part of Master of Science Degree work, completed a physical model study and technical paper on .
<br /> hydraulic jumps, waves and holes, for whitewater courses. The effort included computer modeling and
<br /> flow measurements with a Laser - Doppler Anemometer.
<br /> Audubon Phase III, City of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK .
<br /> Project Manager: Evaluation of alternatives and design for a $5 million drainage improvement project.
<br /> The work included design of more than 3,000 linear feet of 5,000 -cfs channel, 750 linear feet of 5 -9x9
<br /> RCBs, head walls, transitions, drop structures, storm sewers, maintenance paths, landscaping and
<br /> acquisition of land. Responsibilities included project . management, hydraulics, tributary area basin
<br /> hydrology, report writing, cost estimating, and alternative analysis.
<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 almost
<br /> 38 square miles. Extensive hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for floodplain delineation and alternative
<br /> analysis. Preliminary designs were prepared for-detention facilities, and alternatives evaluation included
<br /> hydraulic structure combinations, acquisition, flood proofing, and modifications to existing structures.
<br /> Capitalized cost, safety, and extensive damage analyses were included in the total alternative analysis.
<br /> High hazard zones were identified, and a comprehensive prioritized basin -wide plan was compiled.
<br /> Bridle Trails Master Plan Update, City of Tulsa, OK
<br /> Project Engineer: Update of drainage basin master plan, included hydrology and hydraulic analysis,
<br /> alternative evaluation, and cost estimating. A custom reservoir routing program was written to model a
<br /> side spill detention pond that included tailwater effect on the side spill weir and backwater effects on the
<br /> flow split structure. An extensive damage analysis included generating damage curves for 30 events, with "
<br /> individual calculations for more than 50 homes or points of interest.
<br /> Thorncreek Golf Course, City of Thornton, CO
<br /> Project Engineer: Design of drainage components for an 18 -hole golf course in a floodplain. Work
<br /> included CADD cut -and -fill volume balance of three different soil types; design of a groundwater
<br /> removal system and a surface and groundwater pumping station; and preliminary design of a closed
<br /> conduit drainage system. Double 8 -foot x 10 -foot box culverts can be used as a golf cart tunnel.
<br /> Battlement Mesa Golf Course Improvements, Exxon USA, Parachute, CO
<br /> Project Manager: Design of water features and drainage channels, including flow determination, erosion
<br /> protection, a recirculation system, culvert entrances and outlets, ponds, and waterfalls.
