YEARS OF EXPERIENCE • 8 EDUCATION • MSc Ocean Engineering, University of Miami • BSc Civil Engineering, University of Miami LICENSES • Florida PE No. 90872 • Puerto Rico PE No. 28385 CERTIFICATIONS • Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG) Associate • Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) • Federal Aviation Administration Remote Pilot (sUAS) PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS • American Society of Civil Engineers • Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers • Urban Land Institute SE Florida/Caribbean Leonard Barrera is a coastal engineer with experience in the planning, engineering analysis, and design of coastal and waterfront development projects in Florida, the Caribbean, and Central America. His experience, ranging from project inception to construction, includes field investigations, structural design, inspections, feasibility studies, cost estimates, comprehensive coastal engineering analyses, numerical modeling, structural design, construction drawings, technical specifications, and construction management. He has also conducted beach nourishment projects throughout Miami-Dade County and developed numerical models for coastal processes and floodplain modification studies. RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE NDWWTP Groundwater Evaluation, Miami, Florida. An evaluation of the effects of sea level rise on groundwater levels was conducted for the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant (NDWWTP) and recommendations were provided relative to the location of future infrastructure at the wastewater treatment plant. The analysis was based on existing studies for Miami and other relevant coastal areas. Coastal Towers Waterfront Shoreline Stabilization and Marina, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Shoreline stabilization design for approximately 1,500 linear feet of failed seawall and creation of a new 33-slip timber marina. The failed segments were replaced with a rock revetment, thereby significantly reducing cost to the owner of the project. The structural design of the timber marina was optimized to reduce the previous marina footprint and material costs. Brickell Key Island Coastal Resiliency Study, Brickell Key Island, Florida. Site inspection to identify vulnerable areas, including the perimeter of the entire Brickell Key Island. Analyses of sea level rise and extreme tide events were conducted to understand water level design conditions. The potential for increased storm impacts was assessed. Recommendations for long term planning was provided along with mitigation options. Construction documents and environmental permitting was conducted for the design. The design focused on adapting existing infrastructure to provide a cost-effective solution. Crandon Park Sea Level Rise Flood Mitigation Study, Virginia Key, Florida. Assisted in preparing a Sea Level Rise Flood Mitigation Study to analyze the impacts of sea level rise on the park’s infrastructure and operations, as well as develop flood mitigation concepts for planning and budgeting. Compiled existing survey data within the Park and LiDAR data for the area to prepare a general topographic map for the Park; assessed the condition of existing infrastructure to understand conditions, remaining service life and adaption feasibility relative to sea level rise; performed an assessment of the environmental conditions on site to generally understand and document current conditions, as it would relate to environmental permitting; conducted an engineering analysis to provide extreme tide water levels; developed flood mitigation concepts and preliminary cost estimates.
