All Hallows Community Project
San Francisco, California

Principal-in-Charge for the geotechnical and seismic investigations and recommendations for expansion.

 
Alondra Regional Park
Compton, California

Project Manager for the civil, geotechnical, and seismic investigation and preliminary design for conversion of landfill to regional park. Studies included layout of baseball, basketball (3), beach vollyball (3) and 23,000 sq-ft. Community Center Building.

 
Boeing Test Facility
Seattle, Washington

Project Manager for the detailed investigation of site vibration characteristics and development of site modal frequencies, amplification factors, and other dynamic characteristics.

 
East Oakland Youth Development Center
Oakland, California

Principal-in-Charge for the performance of a geotechnical investigation for underpinning an existing two-story masonry structure which was experiencing differential settlement. Services included subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, recommendations for drilled piers to underpin the structure and construction observations.

 
Glendale Community Hospital
Glendale, California

Project Manager for the foundation investigations and design recommendations and earthquake engineering recommendations. Studies included site vibration monitoring and development of site specific design response spectra.

 
Holy Cross Hospital
San Fernando, California

Project Manager for the earthquake engineering assessment, including vibration monitoring of the site and the building which was severely damaged in the 2/9/71 San Fernando earthquake. Subsequently, developed site specific ground motion response spectra, site and building amplification factors and recommendation for decoupling of the site and building.

 
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Pasadena, California

Project Manager for comprehensive study of faulting, seismicity and ground amplification for the facility and 15 main structures. The studies also included probabilistic seismicity and risk analyses and site-specific tripartite design response spectra for each building.

 
Jones Memorial Homes
San Francisco, California

Principal-in-Charge for the geotechnical and seismic investigations and recommendations for proposed ex-pansion.

 
La Mesa Redevelopment Structure
La Mesa, California

Project Manager for the foundation investigation and seismicity evaluation for the 12-story building. Studies included site vibration monitoring and development of site specific design response spectra.

 
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Livermore, California

QA/QC for the design and closure of nine liquid waste impoundments. Included geotechnical testing and closure certification report.

 
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Livermore, California

QA/QC for the geotechnical construction of liners for stormwater retention basin, and construction testing and management.

 
Levine General Hospital
Hayward, California

Principal-in-Charge for the geotechnical and seismic investigations and recommendations for proposed ex-pansion.

 
Municipal Building
El Monte, California

Project Manager for the seismicity evaluation and earthquake engineering recommendations. Studies included site vibration monitoring and development of site specific design response spectra.

 
Naval Communications Station
Stockton, California

Project Manager for the geotechnical and earthquake engineering safety investigations for all buildings and installations in the communications station.

 
Pasadena Presbyterian Church
Pasadena, California

Project Manager for the geotechnical investigations for proposed modifications and expansion. Studies also included seismic site amplification studies using vibration monitoring, and recommendation of site-specific design spectra.

 
St. Anne's Church
Union City, California

Principal-in-Charge for the geotechnical and seismic investigations and recommendations for expansion.

 
University of California
Berkeley, California

Principal-in-Charge for the Centennial Drive Overpass-Geotechnical investigation of slope failure endangering integrity of the overpass structure. Investigations included drilling, pump tests, and comprehensive strength tests, as well as analysis of the concrete overpass structure. Subsequently designed the slope modifications, including drainage measures and preformed the construction overview of slope stabilization measures.

 
University of California
Berkeley, California

Principal-in-Charge for the comprehensive evaluation of the geology, groundwater, and material strength properties to determine the causes of continued creep and failure of the slopes of the hillside areas of UC Berkeley Campus; including airphoto analysis, geologic mapping, installation and monitoring of piezometers and pump wells and conducting pump tests to assess local and semi-regional permeabilities of different strata, installation and monitoring of slope indicators, development of groundwater topography, identification of zones of low permeability and potential instability.

 
University of California
Berkeley, California

Principal-in-Charge for geotechnical investigations for grading and construction of Botanical Garden parking area.

 
University of California
Irvine, California

Principal-in-Charge for the geotechnical, faulting, and environmental site assessment of a 60-acre site for pur-chase. Results included recommendations of foundation re-quirements, earthquake design criteria, and site clean-up requirements

 
Verdugo Community Hospital
Glendale, California

Project Engineer for the geotechnical and seismic investigations and recommendations for the proposed expansion of the hospital building.

 
Vespor Memorial
San Leandro, California

Project Manager for the investigation of the landslide behind the hospital building including installation of slope indicators and monitoring of slide movement and groundwater levels; slide stability analysis; installation of horizontal and vertical drain wells; and development of mitigation alternatives. Subsequently assisted the owner?s legal council regarding the technical issues of the law suit.
