He has been involved in all aspects of <br />coastal/marine projects, including project design, engineering <br />analysis, environmental permitting, and the legal, political and <br />managerial elements of project implementation. <br /> <br />He has a reputation for providing a business approach to <br />engineering having planned, designed and implemented numerous <br />coastal/waterfront development projects. Mr. Sasso pioneered a <br />regional approach to coastal sediment budget from Hillsboro Inlet <br />in Broward County to Government Cut in Dade County. This <br />sediment study encompassed 35 miles of shoreline, two counties, <br />four inlets, one taxing district and ten municipalities. <br /> <br />Representative project experience <br />32nd Street Breakwaters, Miami Beach, Florida <br />CLIENT: Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resource <br />Management <br />Coastal engineering and numerical modeling for coastal <br />breakwaters and sand recycling project to stabilize shoreline at hot <br />spot erosional area. Hydrographic surveys and beach profiling <br />performed. <br /> <br />Ambergris Cay, Turks and Caicos <br />CLIENT: Ambergris Cay Partnership <br />Prepared EIA for development of private island. Performed <br />hydrographic and GPS control surveys. Engineering design of coastal <br />works including entrance channel, dredging, 150-slip marina, and <br />RO/RO platform for shipments to remote island. <br /> <br />Broward County Beach Restoration Project Mitigation, FL <br />CLIENT: Broward County <br />Design/build 10 acres of artificial reef offshore of the <br />Dania/Hollywood beaches - utilizing 66,000 tons of limerock <br />boulders imported from Freeport, Bahamas. Project was <br />implemented utilizing three rock barges, one crane barge, a 165- <br />ton crane, front end loaders and two tug boats operating 24- <br />hours/day, 7-days/week over 4 months. Marine positioning, <br />resource surveys and hydrographic surveys were an integral part of
