West Palm Beach and Sanford, FL · Federal · Client: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Provided geotechnical services for Army Reserve Centers at sites in West Palm Beach and Sanford, Florida. Completed 16 borings over a ten-acre site, including a 50-foot boring to evaluate sinkhole presence. The scope encompassed permeability testing, sinkhole evaluations, and recommendations for stormwater control.
Healthcare · Client: Department of Veterans Affairs
Designed and constructed a continuous water monitoring system providing 30-minute updates on water quality across five high-risk buildings. Evaluated incoming water for pressure, temperature, pH, solids, and residual oxidants, and monitored recirculated hot water. Implemented target parameters and alarm signals linked to the Energy Control Center for troubleshooting in conformance with VA Directive 1061 and ASHRAE Standard 188-2015.
Lee County, FL · Healthcare · Client: Lee County VA Healthcare System
