Job Role: Civil Engineering
Performed engineering related duties using Micro Station J or V8 with GEOPAK in the field of transportation engineering. Worked on the $106 million Design/Build project for SH45 SE a 7.4 mile, four-lane toll road in Austin, Texas. I worked in Roadway design and Drainage design, calculation of ramp gore locations and ramp slopes. I calculated vertical curves following TXDOT roadway design manual. I calculated roadway super elevation rates for horizontal curves, transition lengths for super elevation and vertical clearance of bridges. I used GEOPAK to draw existing ground cross sections and run cross section reports to build TIN files. I have used proposed cross sections to determine constructions limits, estimate needed right of way widths based on construction limits. I used Micro Station to draw Typical Sections for pavement design. I have calculated retaining wall quantities for ramps and main lanes. I assisted in calculation of length of need for metal beam guard fence. I assisted with calculation of intersection sight distances, approach sight triangles and departure sight triangles. Assisted with Quality Assurance/Control for bridge layouts, and plan review of design schematics. I used GEOPAK Drainage to define drainage boundaries, inlet locations, and draw storm sewer profiles. I assisted with weaving analysis to determine adequate weaving lane length. Project- wise administrator and provided IT support, set up of new computers, fixed minor computer issues, and assisted in the set up of the computer network for the SH45 SE project office in Austin, Texas.
Design Schematic Preston Road and Royal Lane in Dallas, Texas this project was a street widening project to add double left turning lanes to Preston Road in Dallas, Texas. I calculated the lane shift taper length on the approach to the intersection. I designed the schematic striping for this project. I calculated the required queue length for the double left turn lanes following TxDOT Roadway Design.
My next project was the $42 million dollar Grayson County SH289, a 12 mile extension from 0.7 mile South of SH56 to FM120, this new construction of a two lane roadway consisted of earthwork, storm sewer, culverts, and retaining walls. I started design at the schematic level and concentrated on the main lane and ramp geometry for SH289 and SH56. I created horizontal chains for ramps, driveways, and main lanes using GEOPAK. I designed vertical profiles for main lanes, ramps and driveways following TxDOT design criteria. I calculated horizontal and vertical curves following TxDOT roadway design. I calculated ramp gore locations. I calculated roadway super elevation rates for horizontal curves. I calculated super elevation transition lengths. I used GEOPAK SITE to prepare proposed ground contours for intersection details. I calculated vertical clearances for bridges at SH56 and US82. I prepared preliminary construction cost estimates for alternate designs of US82 and SH289.

Assisted in collecting data for US67 from as-built and field survey data to calculate horizontal and vertical curves to determine design speed and calculate existing K values, and existing super elevation rates. I have used GEOPAK to draw pattern lines on proposed Horizontal Alignment and obtain existing ground cross sections associated with those pattern lines. I have used GEOPAK to assist in the calculation of culvert flow lines, as well as Horizontal and Vertical profile labeling. I have used GEOPAK to create the vertical alignment and the profile generator to follow the survey data and generate an existing profile.

I have calculated quantities in linear feet for Class C concrete for extending existing culvert structures. I have calculated quantities for Class B concrete for culvert structures that required concrete riprap. I have calculated culvert wing wall quantities in square feet for cost estimate pay item and plan set. I assisted in construction inspection on SH118 to include Proof Rolling inspection. I calculated areas of driveways and turnouts for pay quantities on SH118. While working seal coat on SH118 I provided calculation of Asphalt distribution quantities (Strapping).

I calculated striping quantities as well as Type I pavement marking striping inspection. While on the SH118 project I used survey equipment to shoot bench marks and locate elevations for Sub-grade, Base and Finish grade of pavements. I assisted in performing material sampling and testing to include collection of soil samples for sieve analysis and flexural concrete strength tests, collection of base material samples for Tri-Axial analysis and collection and testing of rock aggregate to determine if it met Grade 3 or Grade 4 TxDOT aggregate standards. I have had the HMAC level 1B Roadway Specialist training. I have had Work Zone Traffic Control class room training to include design of temporary traffic control plans and review of the 2003 Texas MUTCD.
