Ms. Quiñones was fully in charge of the design analysis of the physical conditions and hydraulic
behavior improvements of a force main pipe, which acts as a main booster station
suction/discharge line. The BODR was a 10-month study process where four final alternatives
were analyzed and compared. Ms. Quiñones evaluated and analyzed the constructability,
hydraulic impact, public impact, construction cost, compliance of deadlines, required permitting,
among other aspects of various rehabilitation/replacement alternatives. She was an active
participant of the corresponding presentation meetings for the county and public agencies.
Recommendations were provided and approved by MDWASD.

System Priority Projects
300 Engineering, Miami, FL, USA
08/2014 – 08/2015
Ms. Quiñones provided assistance to the project managers in the development of the
engineering analysis, hydraulic modeling, sea level rise hardening, scheduling, cost estimates,
inspections and document control of ninety-three force main and pump station projects. Her
participation went from conception to closure, including the following phases: engineering
design, permitting, procurement, construction, and certification.
Design Engineer: MDWASD’s Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP)
300 Engineering, Miami, FL, USA
08/2014 – 03/2015
Ms. Quiñones worked under the project manager direction for the design of 7,660 linear ft of
proposed gravity sewer mains in an industrial area, which currently has no access to sanitary
sewers and relies on septic systems. In this $2.1 million project, Ms. Quiñones assisted with the
feasibility study and design of a gravity sewer main network to be incorporated into the
existing collection system capable of transmitting the sanitary flows from a significant portion
of the targeted properties. Ms. Quiñones was involved in the calculations and evaluation of the
area through site visits, review of existing water and sewer as-builts drawings, collection of
elevation points along the existing and potential alignments. She was responsible for the CAD
production of all information collected and the evaluation of the new gravity pipe alignments
though the drafting of profiles. She was also involved in the assessment of alternative routes
for the system in subject.
