<br />(TWO) covering a wide array of geotechnical engineering activities. These activities include field,
<br />laboratory and engineering assignments relating to bridges, miscellaneous structures, roadway,
<br />evaluation of distress, drainage studies and providing in -house staff support to the District Materials
<br />Office. Within District VI alone, Mr. Badri has been involved with work along various state roads

<br />Roadways, Schools, telecommunication towers, and industrial developments. He has also been involved
<br />in several projects involving problematic soil conditions, where in ground improvement techniques such
<br />as vibro - replacement, vibro- compaction, injection grouting and CSV stabilization were used. Mr. Badri

<br />geotechnical studies for roadways, bridges, retaining structures and walls.
<br />REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
<br />Port of Miami Tunnel (SR AIA), Preliminary Feasibility Study, Miami -Dade County, Florida (2
<br />miles)
<br />Involved in the preparation of numerous Geotechnical Data Reports which compiled the results of the
<br />field and laboratory tests associated with the geotechnical works on land and in water. The field work
<br />involved extensive permitting and coordination with various government and environmental entities.
<br />The field work involved the use of methodologies such as SPT, rock coring, permeability testing, CPT,
<br />Seismic -CPT etc. Due to time restrictions from cruise operations, field work sometimes required
<br />working on 24 hour operation.
