PROJECT EXPERIENCE Experience includes management of Geotechnical Engineering investigations
for diverse categorical projects: small and large scale solar development; large
scale ground mounted solar projects; canopy mounted solar projects for a
variety of municipalities, including airports, public schools, and commercial and
industrial development. A brief summary of specific project experience is
included below.
Proposed Ground Mounted Solar Array, 3,500 Acres, Antelope Valley,
California –Proposed new ground mounted solar array constructed over
approximately 3,500 acres in Antelope Valley, Kern and Los Angeles
Counties, California. The project included a new 579 MW ground mounted
solar system, including three (3) new substations and two (2) operations
and maintenance buildings. The project included recommendations for pile
installation, new buildings, equipment pads, high voltage transmission
towers, onsite sewage disposal systems, and stormwater basins. In addition,
supervised pile testing operations prior to construction and provided
geotechnical review and over-sight during construction.
Proposed Canopy Mounted Solar Array (Twenty Six (26) Sites), Kern
Unified School District, Bakersfield, California –Proposed new canopy
mounted solar systems planned at twenty six (26) schools within Kern
Unified School District in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project
included geotechnical test borings to identify the engineering properties of
the subsurface soils. Recommendations were included for cast in drilled
hole pier foundations and conventional concrete slabs on grade.
New Elementary School, McFarland, California – New elementary school
planned on a 15 acre parcel in the City of McFarland, California. The project
included a subsurface exploration and geotechnical recommendations for
construction of a new school campus, including eight (8) new buildings with
plan view dimensions of 4,000 to 15,000 square feet. The project also
included a geologic seismic hazards evaluation in accordance with section
31 of California Geological Survey Note 48. In addition, the project included
off-site investigations for a proposed new storm water disposal basin.
Numerous percolation tests were performed and observation test borings
were drilled to analyze the subsurface soil conditions to determine
suitability and infiltration capacities of the soils encountered below the
planned basin depths.
3 Million Gallon Water Storage Tank, H Street and San Benito Street,
Fresno, California - Proposed water tank improvement project for the City
of Fresno. Report preparation included a summary of the field exploration,
soils encountered, results of laboratory tests, geotechnical engineering
analysis, and recommendations for proposed tank foundations and
pavements.

Proposed Retail Development, Monterey Park, California –Proposed new
retail development in Monterey Park, California. The project included
recommendations for four (4) major retail buildings, five (5) retail pads,
mass grading including cuts and fills up to 30 feet, cut and fill slopes on the
order of 40 feet tall, retaining walls, and review of project construction
documents, Report preparation included a summary of the field
exploration, soil conditions encountered, results of laboratory tests,
evaluation of geotechnical concerns relative to the proposed development,
site grading, and recommendations for proposed buildings, retaining walls,
and pavements.
Proposed 5-Story Public Storage Building, Seattle, Washington –
Proposed new 5 story public storage building located in Seattle,
Washington. The project included recommendations for a new 5 story
building, with 20 foot tall retaining walls, and review of project construction
documents. Report preparation included a summary of the field exploration,
soil conditions encountered, results of laboratory tests, evaluation of
geotechnical concerns relative to the proposed development, site grading,
and recommendations for proposed new building, temporary shoring,
retaining walls, and pavements.
