Balanced the utility's operational needs with private property concerns by designing a rapid site-restoration strategy and facilitating successful negotiations that avoided litigation and resolved all owner claims

Ft. of abatement, manage humidity-sensitive ice-bed restoration, and ensure the facility met all safety standards for immediate public use
Water System Design

Value Engineering - Lead in Construction
Spearheaded the structural assessment and design for the restoration of a lead painted industrial spiral steel staircase following a collapse caused by severe oxidation.
