Town of Hardwick, MA - Hardwick Center and Eagle Hill School Sewer Extension. Lead Project Engineer for the
design and construction of a sewer extension to the existing wastewater collection system. The solution includes a
combination conventional and low pressure sewer system with a common pumping station located in the village center and
a force main installed along Route 32A to an existing WWTF in Gilbertville. Several sources of grant/loan funding are being
pursued for this project.
Town of Tewksbury, MA - Wastewater Pumping Stations Upgrade. Project Engineer for upgrades to seven
wastewater pumping stations ranging from small duplex submersible stations (100 GPM design pumping capacity) to
large, wetwell/drywell type station (5400 GPM design pump capacity). Evaluated pumping technologies and performed
lifecycle cost analysis. Coordinated analysis of a failing ductile iron force main, including field and laboratory work.
Prepared and executed necessary easements. Coordinated project's filing with town's conservation commission.
Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Boston, MA - Union Park Detention/Treatment Facility. Coordinated
design of the combined sewer overflow treatment facility from the preliminary design phase through the bid process.
Reviewed and edited plans and specifications from each design discipline. Modeled facility hydraulic profile by creating a
spreadsheet which used an iterative process to determine losses during open channel flow. Wrote portions of the
preliminary design report, including chapters on the facility hydraulics, construction staging and schedule, and sizing of the
emergency generator. Evaluated available technologies for treatment at the new facility. Prepared Massachusetts DEP
permit for diesel generator and turbine air emissions, and assisted with preparation of a “best available control technology
analysis” for the equipment. Reviewed shop drawings for compliance with the contract documents, and resolved
construction issues during the construction phase.
Town of Essex, MA - Sewers, Pump Stations, and Force Main Projects. Prepared written responses to technical
issues raised by the contractor and client during construction. Performed resident inspection at the construction sites.
Coordinated change orders to the contract, including reviewing the contractor's proposed costs.
Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Boston, MA — North Dorchester Bay, Reserved Channel Combined
Sewer Overflow Abatement. Designed containment alternatives for pump failure pressure surges from a 13-foot
diameter, 14,000-foot long tunnel for a 600-MGD pumping station. Calculated hydraulic conditions for the facility under
varying operating conditions. Designed weir and baffle systems for combined sewer overflow regulator manholes.
Designed site utility layout.
City of Springfield, MA - SWSC Mill River Combined Sewer Controls Improvements. Designed floatable control
baffles, including review of existing structures and assessment of hydraulic impacts of the structures. Coordinated work of
lead design consultant and sub-consultants. Prepared traffic control plans and project schedule.
Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Medford, MA - CSO Master Plan, Mystic River Stormwater Sampling.
Coordinated storm water sampling activities for three communities whose storm drains contribute to pollutant loads along
the Mystic River. Communicated with client to determine the suitability of rain events for sampling. Managed a three-
person sampling crew responsible for obtaining samples for pollutant load analysis. Compiled data and wrote report
detailing the findings of the sampling program.
Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Boston, MA - Underflow Baffle Evaluation Study. Evaluated the
effectiveness of underflow baffles in preventing floatable debris being discharged from combined sewer overflow
regulators. Observed regulators and baffles during and after rain events and reported results.
Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Boston, MA - Boston Harbor Project. Performance certification, Phase II
facilities: Worked on first year of operations performance certification report of the South System Pump Station, which is
part of the Deer Island Treatment Facilities. Reviewed warranty issues experienced after facility start-up, spare parts
inventory and usage, and evaluated performance and functional testing results of the completed facility. Interviewed facility
operators to assess the effectiveness of the designed instrumentation and layout.
