Major Infrastructure Design Disputes

Underground Metro System: Evaluated design and construction modifications to several underground metro stations, entrance canopies, emergency exits, switchboxes, launch boxes, and tunnels to determine if they were changes to the contractor's scope of work, including evaluation of site conditions and the extent to which civil and structural work had progressed. Estimated the design level of effort required to execute changes. Provided sworn expert testimony.

Urban Transportation System: Managed a team investigating an entitlements dispute regarding civil and structural engineering design changes for a new underground and elevated metro system, including stations and viaducts. Estimated the design level of effort required to execute changes. Provided sworn expert testimony. 

Urban Transportation System: Managed a team investigating claims that an engineer's tender design was insufficient to enable a contractor to correctly prepare their bid on an EPC contract for a new metro system, including stations and ancillary facilities.

Underground Metro Stations: Managed a team investigating alleged civil and structural engineering design changes during a design-build project to construct underground metro stations. The evaluation included determining the percentage completion of the design at the time the contractor was de-scoped, evaluating whether instructions from the owner led to changes to the technical scope, and evaluating the cause and impact of construction defects on the stations.

Underground Transportation System: Evaluated the earthquake intensity used in the design of an underground metro system in a high-seismic area. Evaluated the accuracy of a numerical model used by the designer to estimate behavior of the system during earthquakes.

Underground Metro Station Shoring Design: Evaluated the shoring and reshoring design of an underground metro station to determine if the design complied with codes and standards, and if changes to the design requested by the contractor were required for the design to comply.

Seismically Isolated Bridge: Conducted a performance-based assessment of the seismic collapse capacity of a bridge in a high-seismicity area, including performing incremental dynamic analysis to determine the probability of collapse during a design intensity earthquake and the lifetime probability of collapse. The analysis results informed whether the bridge, as designed, posed a safety risk.

Airport: Evaluated the structural design of the main terminal building and ancillary facilities at a major airport, including the capacities and deflections of slabs, beams, and curved columns and floor vibrations requirements.

Highway Expansion: Appointed expert evaluating the adequacy of the tender design of a highway widening project for the purposes of pricing the bid. Issues included the design of new and replacement bridges, bearings, abutments, sign structures, culverts, and the drainage system. 

Energy Facilities

LNG Facility: Audited the design performance of an EPCM contractor on a large LNG plant development project on behalf of a major oil and gas company.

Solar Plant: Analyzed the expected energy output of a solar thermal power plant in observed weather conditions relative to baseline models of the facility in a standard meteorological year. Results were used to calculated performance payments stipulated by the EPC contract.

Failure and Damage Investigations

Bridge Demolition: Investigated the cause of damage to bridge piers during the explosive demolition of the superstructure. Performed applied element analysis of the demolition sequence under numerous hypothesized scenarios and validated analysis results against field conditions.

Bridge Dismantling: Investigated whether an engineer met the standard of care in their design of the dismantling sequence of a long span bridge where a component failed during the dismantling. Evaluated alternative means of felling the structure. Named expert.

Collapse of a Parking Deck: Investigated the partial collapse of a parking deck, including a comprehensive evaluation of the field conditions of the remaining portions of the parking deck.

Failure of a Railing: Investigated the cause of failure of a railing during a concert, which resulted in numerous injuries.

Scaffold Collapse: Investigated the cause of collapse of scaffolding during a windstorm.

Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment: Investigated alleged earthquake damage to numerous school building to determine the cause of damage and the impact of an earthquake on the future performance of the buildings during earthquakes.

Earthquake-Resisting System: Investigated alleged reduction in the earthquake-resisting capacity of a tall building in a seismically active area due to water leaks. Performed finite element analysis of the building under numerous damage scenarios and earthquake intensities.

Post-Hurricane Damage Assessments: Performed many investigations into damage to buildings during hurricanes, including distinguishing between damage caused by wind vs. water in residential and commercial structures, and distinguishing between new and pre-existing conditions.

Adjacent Construction Investigations: Performed many investigations into damage to buildings caused by adjacent construction activity, such as: evaluating whether damage to a high-rise condominium was caused by dewatering at a nearby site; investigating the partial collapse of a foundation during underpinning; investigating the collapse of a ceiling while vibratory equipment was in use; evaluating the likely origin of damage to a church with multiple adjacent structures under construction.

Defects

Condominium Design: Appointed expert evaluating the seismic design of a concrete condominium building. The building was alleged to be deficient because of incorrect identification and selection of soil classification. Performed extensive structural analysis and evaluation to determine whether the building met codes and standards. 

Risk Analysis and Design Assistance

Plutonium Facility (PF-4): Developed numerical models for developing testing criteria for assessing the performance of a critical component in a US Dept. of Energy plutonium storage facility subjected to earthquakes. Provided expert peer review services for earthquake ground motion selection.

Climate Change Risk Assessment: Developed and implemented a probabilistic framework for identifying the vulnerability of a large utility company's power transmission assets to climate change, including changes in intensities of precipitation, temperature, wildfire, and sea level rise, using performance-based engineering techniques. The effort included leading the development of fragility curves and the analysis of aging and degradation mechanisms to assets such as wood poles, steel towers, conductors, underground structures, foundations, and insulators. Hazard curves relating intensity of climate hazards to their frequencies of occurrence were developed from downscaled climate models to allow for, in conjunction with the fragility curves, calculations of annual failure rates of assets. Mitigation recommendations were developed based on the analysis results.

Quantitative Risk Assessment: Developed a quantitative risk assessment framework to evaluate wood poles and steel towers subjected to seismic loads and earthquake-induced landslides for a large utility company. Led the technical development of a probabilistic framework for assessing the risk of contamination-induced flashover of insulators.

Mitigation Effectiveness: Managed and led the technical development of engineering first-principles based quantitative risk analysis models to determine the effectiveness of wildfire mitigations for electric transmission systems in reducing ignitions caused by contact from vegetation, birds, vehicles, and balloons, wind-induced failures, and conductor clashing. Mitigations including undergrounding, covered conductors, changing phase spacing, adding bird guards, and upgrading poles. Models were calibrated to outage data to determine the overall effectiveness of mitigation programs against all considered hazards/asset types. The analysis was performed to inform risk spend efficiency (RSE) calculations for a major utility company.

Covered Conductor Risk: Led the technical development of engineering-based quantitative risk analysis models to determine the effectiveness of replacing bare conductors with covered conductors in reducing arcing and ignitions. The model considered failure of conductors due to wind, trees falling on conductors, a probabilistic aerodynamic model for debris bridging between conductor phases, and conductor slapping. Numerous fragility curves and hazard curves were developed to determine the relative occurrence rates of unwanted outcomes for bare and several types of covered conductors.

Gas Transmission Network Risk: Managed and led the technical development of a quantitative risk analysis model of a large gas transmission network for determining impacts due to natural hazards, including flooding, landslides, and earthquakes. Analysis including pipeline segments, compressor stations, and bridges carrying pipes. Results were integrated with consequences models of financial losses and customer outage days, considering uncertainty using Monte Carlo simulation.

Arc Faulting Risk: Developed a first-of-its-kind an engineering-based quantitative risk analysis model for a large gas utility to determine the risk of arc faulting leading to damage to gas transmissions pipes where overhead electric transmissions lines pass near the pipes.

Seismic Isolation: Provided advice and guidance for the design of a seismically isolated light frame house located one mile from the San Andreas Fault, including performing nonlinear response history analysis of the structure, developing details for isolator units, developing load protocols for prototype and production isolators compliant with ASCE7 requirements, and coordinating with peer reviewers.
