REPRESENTIVE PROJECTS

The Central Artery Tunnel Project (CA/T) – Boston, MA

Dewey Square
Tunnel Refurbishment and Air Intake Structure

Performed the following construction phase design services and was responsible for coordinating and evaluating construction phase design services rendered by the other team members in a ten firm multi-discipline design team: Review of contractor submittals (shop drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, samples, etc.), responding to contractor requests for information, preparation of field change notices (FCNs) and incorporation of the FCNs into the contract plan and specification updates.

Experience with (CA/T) consists of the C17A6 (Area 1) and C18A2 contracts. The C17A6 (Area 1) contract is comprised of the refurbishment of the existing I-93 Dewey Square Tunnel (DST). The design involves many complex interim stages in order to complete the construction and at the same time keep the highway open to high traffic volumes. Final surface street restoration above the tunnel area is also part of this contract. The C18A2 contract scope includes the construction of the DST Air Intake Structure. This three-story structure will provide proper ventilation for the rehabilitated DST.

Mass Highway

– Weymouth to Duxbury, MA

Environmental Impact Report for Route 3

Prepared specific areas of the report including stormwater management, hazardous materials and geometric design of additional lane options. Used record plans, soil maps, topographic maps, flood maps and base mapping to perform an analysis of existing stormwater drainage conditions along the 15-mile corridor. Compile appropriate data to compute existing runoff volumes and flows for selected storm events. Designed drainage controls to minimize excess runoff and peak flows, for the preferred alternative. Prepared the write up for hazardous materials portion of the report. This report section is comprised of information compiled on hazardous waste sites from published records and databases. Prepared sketches for the report, which show geometry of typical sections, conforming to Mass Highway Standards, for each additional lane alternative.

Bay State Gas Facility – Brockton, MA
Civil Engineering and Land Surveying

Performed topographic and boundary land survey for Bay State Gas Brockton facility. Attended daily safety meetings for procedural requirements of natural gas distribution plant heavy equipment construction. Project involved expansion of gas facility and parking area. Extensive wetland permitting was required under the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the City of Brockton Conservation Commission. Obtained locations and elevations of existing drainage utilities. Performed survey for construction of stormwater drainage and wetland replication area construction. Prepared certified construction as-built plans.
