Geotechnical Engineer – Power and Industry Market Jan 2015 – June 2016
Prepared cost estimates and scopes for large geotechnical projects, including use of a barge for overwater
drilling
Reviewed and prepared geotechnical reports for transmission line and electrical substation/switching station
projects; reports involved calculating LPILE and MFAD parameters for deep foundations

IDOT Geotechnical Manual and IDOT spreadsheets/design guides
Reviewed and prepared interim and final geotechnical reports for several segments of Ameren’s Illinois
Rivers Transmission Lines (ILR) project, which includes approximately 2,300 power poles
Used the programs DRIVEN and GRLWEAP to evaluate drivability of caissons (large diameter driven pipe
pile foundations) and determine if caissons or piers would be used for power pole foundations
Logged borings, classified soils and rocks, and collected samples as a field geologist to supervise drilling on
the ILR project
Observed pile driving and logged borings for transmission towers at large river crossings
Monitored tieback (ground anchor) installation for drilled piers

Performed calculations and prepared over 330 geotechnical reports for commercial, industrial,
transportation, institutional, residential, and other types of projects
Used software and developed spreadsheets to perform analyses, including global slope stability, flexible and
rigid pavement designs, laterally loaded pile deflections, settlement, and bearing pressures
Determined seismic design values for construction of buildings (IBC) and bridges (AASHTO/IDOT)
Developed and maintained a record of every project completed for reference purposes and to follow up for
materials testing services
Made marketing calls to clients and received calls with requests for proposals
Managed day-to-day activities of the Wentzville regional office, including answering the phone, purchasing
