Ace Grease Storage Pit & ‎Auger,  Millstadt, ‎IL, 2014‎
Description of Project: ‎Installation of a concrete-lined ‎grease holding pit (40-feet wide ‎by 50-feet long and 20-feet ‎deep, with a 5-foot deep sump ‎on one end) which will be ‎housed within a new pre-‎engineering metal building.  ‎New trench drains are to be ‎located in the proposed building ‎which drain into the pit.‎
Scope of Project: Conducted ‎field location for the two ‎borings and appropriate soil ‎sampling with SPTs; ‎coordinated lab testing ‎‎(classification, natural moisture ‎content and hand penetrometer ‎values).  Atterberg limits tests ‎on selected samples and ‎graphical boring logs for the ‎boreholes with a legend to aid in ‎interpretation of the logs.  ‎Design of the concrete grease ‎pit; design of soil retention ‎structure; report with ‎construction considerations and ‎drawings for construction.‎

Electrical Improvement to ‎Peoria Main Station Water ‎Treatment Facilities, Donohue ‎& Associates, Inc, Darst Street, ‎Peoria, IL, 2014‎
Description of Project: Design ‎Electrical Improvements for ‎Peoria's Main Station Water ‎Treatment Facility.‎
Scope of Project: Directed the ‎subsurface explorations of 8 ‎borings, appropriate soil ‎sampling with SPTs, ‎coordinated lab testing ‎‎(classification, natural moisture ‎content and hand penetrometer ‎values). Atterberg limits tests on ‎selected samples and graphic ‎boring logs for the boreholes ‎with a legend to aid in the ‎interpretation of the logs  ‎Analysis of the finding and ‎presented recommended design ‎criteria including bearing ‎pressures and construction ‎considerations.‎

Glen Carbon Storm Water ‎Master Plan, 2014‎
Description of Project: ‎Recommendations to alleviate ‎surficial slope failures resulting ‎from erosion from storm water ‎discharge at various locations in ‎the Village limits.‎
Scope of Project: Directed the ‎subsurface exploration of ‎borings, appropriate soil ‎sampling with SPTs, ‎coordinated lab testing ‎‎(classification, natural moisture ‎content and hand penetrometer ‎values).  Atterberg limits tests ‎on selected samples.  Presented ‎report with slope stability ‎analysis, repair ‎recommendations and ‎construction considerations for ‎the reconstruction and repair of ‎the slopes assuming associated ‎drainage remediation.  ‎Recommended slope ‎maintenance program.  Findings ‎were summarized in a ‎geotechnical report.‎
