Per the request from project manager, I summarized my major accomplishments for the company in 2015:
- NJ Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges (NJ DOT): Worked on scour study with FHWA’s 2D hydrodynamic model FESWMS, updated model with latest bathymetry elevations and ran for 100-year and 500-year hurricanes for three trestle bridges. Wrote the hydraulic report and submitted to FHWA, addressed the comments, and FHWA accepted the comment response and the revised report.
- I-287/78 Interchange Improvement Project (NJ DOT): Worked on hydrologic and hydraulic analysis at three different locations within this project, evaluated the impact of constructing new ramps/extending the existing culvert, wrote Flood Hazard Area (FHA) Engineer’s Report and submitted to NJDEP, addressed comments and finally got FHA permit from NJDEP early this year.
- Sawmill Road and Lincoln Avenue Culvert Replacement Projects (Middlesex County, NJ): As a sub-consultant to Naik, worked on hydrologic and hydraulic impact study, wrote engineer’s report and address NJDEP’s comments, got FHA permits last year and early this year from NJDEP for both projects.

- Schalks Crossing Road (C.R. 683) Bridge Improvement Project (NJ DOT): Worked on hydraulic study of this project, developed FHA analysis model from the paper based State studied HEC-2 model, attended several project meetings with NJDOT and answered their questions.
- Amwell Road Drainage Improvement Project (Somerset County, NJ): Worked on drainage design and stormwater management analysis, created plans with supporting engineer’s report, addressed County’s comments and revised report/plan.
- BMP Retrofit Analysis, Charles County, MD (MD SHA): Helped Baltimore office to design various BMP facilities for water quality management, developed various riser analysis spreadsheet for them to use, as well as creating GIS mapping, etc.
- NEC Initiative Climate Change Study, Maine DOT (FHWA): Helped Baltimore office to for flood damage analysis under NOAA’s sea level rise scenario, developed customized VBA program within EXCEL to automate the computation procedures with user input interface.
- Pensacola Bay Bridge Project (FL DOT): Help Tampa office to gather data, reviewed previous study report and helped on proposal/resume writing.
- Blind Brook Study and Flood Mitigation Project (City of Rye, NY): Attended several project meetings with City of Rye engineers, SUNY-Purchase and New York Rising committee to discuss the future path of the project. Participated in the 39th ASFPM national congress in Atlanta, GA and presented a paper entitled “Optimal Sluice Gate Operations for Flood Mitigation Study of City of Rye, New York” at Concurrent Section F7. According the conference chair, for all the submitted paper, the final acceptance rate is only 40%.
