EXPERIENCE:
1/day/2006-Present, 40-80 per
week, Senior Staff Engineer, $62,000/year, Langan Engineering &
Environmental Services, River Drive Center 0000 xxxxxx xxxx , xxxx , xxxxx
00000, Satyajit Vaidya, ( xxx-xxx-xxxx .
Spearhead large civil engineering projects with budgets up to $1.6
billion, including foundations for high-rise buildings, the world s largest
pump station, levees, an NFL stadium, data centers, and excavations in dense
urban areas. Skillfully negotiated with contractors, troubleshooting all
types of issues. Hand-selected to organize and implement subsurface
investigations to characterize sites and determine geotechnical design
parameters based on the unique needs of each project.
Organize laboratory testing programs and analyze results
to determine design parameters
Analyze slopes to determine safety factors and develop
recommendations for the design parameters of driven piles, drilled shafts,
spread footings, engineered fill, slope stability, pavements, site
preparation, seismic design, foundation/retaining walls, slabs-on-grade, and
settlements.
Actively collaborate in design of temporary excavation
support systems, including slopes, tie-back anchors, concrete piers and
lagging, underpinning, and rock bolts, and draft CADD drawings.
Drive the investigation of feasibility and cost
effectiveness of utilizing innovative ground improvement techniques at poor
soil sites to support shallow foundations in lieu of more costly options.
Design surcharge fills, as well as collecting and analyzing surcharge
settlement data.
Directed the field investigation and pile design for
Contractor s temporary bridge structure for LPV 145 (Chalmette Loop Levee)
outside New Orleans. Served as key member of Early Contractor Involvement for
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex outside New Orleans.
Successfully ascertained validity of subsurface profile used for design of
excavation for $1 billion pump station and gate closure along a navigational
canal. Facilitate productive communication with Project Managers on project
progress and Site Foreman to organize drilling and contractor support crews. Skillfully
oversaw field operations regarding soil stabilization in staging areas and
initial pump station excavation monitoring to establish potential usefulness
of excavated soils as levee fill. Responsible for overseeing and inspecting drilled
shaft installation, pile driving, footing and slab subgrade preparation, high
capacity tie-down anchor installation/testing, inclinometer, piezometer, heave
point anchor installation, underslab drainage system construction, and
waterproofing of below-grade structures. Consistently review foundation
plans, construction documents, and contractor submittals at all phases of
design and construction to ensure compliance with engineering design
recommendations, technical specifications, feasibility, and constructability
guidelines. Tasked with the preparation of detailed technical specifications
for all geotechnical-related aspects of construction, including excavation,
filling, subgrade preparation, sheeting, bracing, underpinning, deep dynamic
compaction, driven piles, and drilled shafts.
Strategically coordinate subcontractors, supervise geotechnical
field investigations and desktop studies at 2 isolated sites for proposed gas
pipeline compressor stations, ensuring adherence to tight schedule parameters.
Effectively reduced mobilization costs by using the same subcontractors at
both locations.
Successfully implemented an innovative laboratory test
program to ensure simultaneous completion with the field investigation,
allowing for geotechnical reports to be submitted to client within 24 hours.
Carefully analyze oriented rock coring data, proficiently characterizing the
nature of jointing in rock masses to be supported during foundation
excavation and recommending appropriate stabilization measures. Skillfully analyze
the potential for liquefaction of loose soils below proposed construction.
Perform in depth field inspection of construction of drilled
shafts varying from 9-30 inches in diameter deriving capacity from skin
friction and end bearing in soil and rock. Design and test high capacity
tie-down anchors for design loads up to 616 kips. Recommend design changes
and remedial actions to resolve issues encountered during construction,
including the removal, replacement or bridging poor subgrade materials.
Consistently collect and analyze vibration, crack gauge, tilt meter, and
elevation and lateral control point monitoring data to effectively determine the
impact of construction on adjacent buildings, subway structures, and streets.
Responsible for preparing detailed monitoring reports for neighboring
building and subway tunnel, efficiently summarizing data for private clients
and transit authority.
Efficiently oversee engineering operations and geotechnical
investigation quality control for the first offshore wind farm in the United
States ( 3 miles east of Atlantic City, NJ), including drilled borings,
undisturbed sample collection, cone penetrometer tests, pressuremeter, seismic
dilatometer testing, and vibracore sampling. Collaborate with Environmental
Specialists in taking environmental samples during excavation and site
investigations.
Oversee field inspection services for hazardous material
abatement and storage tank removal during all phases of demolition for the Giants
Stadium. Provided detailed documentation of the removal, packaging and
shipping of hazardous material and above-ground/underground storage tanks. Consistently
reviewed environmental site assessments prior to site investigations to
determine employee health and safety requirements and environmental sampling.
Utilized proficiency in AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, CONSOL, ZSTRESS, Slide,
gINT in handling all geotechnical operations and engineering services.
