<br />Leonard is a coastal engineer with experience in the planning, engineering
<br />analysis, and design of coastal and waterfront development projects in
<br />Florida, the Caribbean, and Central America. His experience, ranging from
<br />project inception to construction, includes field investigations, structural
<br />design, inspections, feasibility studies, cost estimates, comprehensive coastal
<br />engineering analyses, numerical modeling, structural design, construction
<br />drawings, technical specifications, and construction management. He has
<br />also conducted beach nourishment projects and developed numerical models
<br />for coastal processes and floodplain modification studies throughout Florida.
<br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
<br />Winston Towers 700 Seawall Design and Repair, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida,
<br />2014. Engineering design of over 830 LF of existing reinforced concrete
<br />seawall, along with the installation of 250 LF of new steel sheet pile seawall.
<br />To prevent disturbance to a critical transportation route upland of the existing
<br />seawall, the new seawall was cantilevered with 40-foot long sheets. Conducted
<br />construction administration of the repairs and new seawall installation.
<br />Coastal Towers Waterfront Shoreline Stabilization and Marina, Sunny Isles
<br />Beach, Florida, 2015. Shoreline stabilization design for approximately 1,500
<br />LF of failed seawall and creation of a new 33-slip timber marina. The failed
<br />segments were replaced with a rock revetment, thereby significantly reducing
<br />cost to the owner of the project. The structural design of the timber marina
<br />was optimized to reduce the previous marina footprint and material costs.
<br />Beach View Park Seawall Replacement and Living Shoreline, Miami Beach,
<br />Florida. Engineer of record for the design of a 300 LF replacement of a
<br />seawall with the implementation of a living shoreline to protect the uplands
<br />against tidal flooding, enhance stabilization, and bolster waterfront resiliency.
<br />Enhancing the recreational aspect, a boardwalk will be along the central
<br />shoreline, seamlessly connecting to the uplands through timber walkways
<br />that follow the curvature of the mangrove planters. Project includes coastal
<br />engineering, living shoreline design, benthic survey, permitting due diligence,
<br />seawall design, and grant research.
<br />West 40th Street Seawall Replacement and Living Shoreline, Miami Beach,
<br />Florida. Engineer of record for the design of a 256 LF replacement of a seawall
<br />with the implementation of a living shoreline to protect the uplands against
<br />tidal flooding, enhance stabilization, and bolster waterfront resiliency. Two
<br />fishing piers and a floating kayak launch will be installed as well as ecological
<br />enhancement will be achieved through the installation of mangrove planters.
<br />Project includes coastal engineering, living shoreline design, benthic survey,
<br />permitting due diligence, seawall design, grant research and boardwalk
<br />design.
<br />Mid Beach Park Seawall Replacement and Living Shoreline, Miami Beach,
<br />Florida. Engineer of record for the design of a 590 LF replacement of a seawall
<br />with the implementation of a living shoreline to protect the uplands against
<br />tidal flooding, enhance stabilization, and bolster waterfront resiliency. Living
<br />shoreline planters will be enhance the entire project area, enclosed by a
