<br />PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Mr. Vedula, a Florida-Registered Professional Engineer, has over 24 years of experience providing engineering services for a wide variety of geotechnical projects involving foundation design, slope stability analysis, WEAP analysis and interpreting PDA reports, excavation support, and construction inspection. His extensive experience includes foundation inspections (shallow and deep foundations), soil modification (dynamic compaction, stone columns), preloading, excavations, backfilling, and post construction monitoring. Mr. Vedula has served as a principal inspector on numerous surcharging and settlement evaluations of organic laden soils assignments. His project experience includes 300+ geotechnical engineering studies for various projects types including parks, piers, shoreline stabilization, dredging, bridges, roadways, utilities, high rise buildings, schools and government facilities. Mr. Vedula has authored, and co-authored papers published in national and international publications. MIAMI-DADE COUNTY RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
<br />SR-997 (Krome Avenue) from SR-94/Kendall Drive to SR-90/SW 8 Street, Miami-
<br />Dade County, Florida. The project consisted of the realignment of Krome Avenue from SR 94 (Kendall Drive) to SR 90 (Tamiami Trail) in Miami, Florida and is approximately 5 miles long. The improvements included the realignment of the existing roadway. Field work included auger borings and muck probes. Utilities, including a 30-inch force main and water main, which were to remain in place, were factored into geotechnical recommendations and proposed options. Geotechnical recommendations included the discussion of various options such as surcharge, reinforced soil platform, geo-synthetic, demucking and soil mixing. TSF also provided geotechnical recommendations involving permanent cut/fill slopes, excavations, groundwater control, pavement design, and on-site soil suitability. TSF provided construction support services including evaluation of surcharge settlement.
<br /> Force Main along Lochness Drive from PS No. 334 to NW 67th Avenue, Miami
<br />Lakes, Florida. Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the construction of 8-inch Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) Force Main in Loch Ness Drive from PS No. 334 to NW 67th Avenue as part of one of the first pump stations to be improved under the PSIP in the Town of Miami Lakes – Pump Station 334. Provided a report detailing information on groundwater and subsurface conditions as well as geotechnical recommendations regarding excavations, trench backfill, pavement design considerations, and lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive earth pressure).
<br /> Design-Build Services for Replacement/ Rehabilitation of 72-inch Sanitary Sewage
<br />Force Main along NW/NE 159th Street Between NW 17th Avenue and NE 10th
<br />Avenue for the 72-inch Force Main, Miami Dade County, Florida. Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the proposed 72-inch force main rehab along NW 159th Street. Provided a report detailing information on groundwater and subsurface conditions as well as geotechnical recommendations regarding excavations, trench backfill, and lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive earth pressure) to be utilized by the design team.
<br /> W Fern Street from Duval Ave to SW 102 Ave Drainage Improvements, Miami-
<br />Dade, Florida. Mr. Vedula was the Principal Geotechnical Engineer for the Geotechnical Engineering Services for W Fern Street from Duval Avenue to SW 102nd Ave. in Miami-Dade County. The project consists of drainage improvements along the subject location. Provided a geotechnical engineering report including location plan/boring profile, BHP test results and field borings and BHP logs.
