Sharp, PE <br />Senior Geotechnical Engineer <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />Mr. Sharp has over 28 years of experience in project management, <br />foundation design and testing, and preparation of construction <br />recommendations for roadways, major highway bridges and related <br />earthwork, buildings and storage tanks, wastewater treatment plants, <br />pipelines, and earthen dams. Typical projects are described below. <br /> <br />Project Specific Experience <br /> <br />Project Manager, Maitland Boulevard (SR 414) Extension (Project <br />414-211), Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority, Orange <br />County, Florida: Directed dynamic pile testing program for the <br />extension of Maitland Boulevard a distance of about 1.6 miles to the west <br />from approximately the Orange/Seminole County line. The project <br />included single-span bridge structures over a CSX Railroad spur and US <br />441 as well as an elevated viaduct structure, approximately 2,800 feet long, <br />that spans Overland Road and a Florida Central Railroad mainline. The <br />single-span structures and portions of the viaduct were supported by I-IP <br />14 x 89 steel piles while foundations for the remainder of the viaduct <br />consisted of 24-inch square, prestressed concrete piles. Results of the <br />testing were evaluated to develop appropriate production pile lengths and <br />installation criteria throughout the project. <br /> <br />Project Manager, District Wide Geotechnical Services, FDOT <br />District Five, Florida: Directed dynamic pile testing programs on <br />several bridge widening/ replacement projects within the District including <br />SR 528 over the Indian River, SR 500 over Canal C-57, US 192 over Mill <br />Slough, SR 520 over Second and Jim Creeks, SR 25 over Lake Palatlakaha <br />Creek, CR 484 over CSX Railroad, and SR 11 over Little Haw Creek. <br />Results of the testing were evaluated to develop appropriate production <br />pile lengths and installation criteria at each st.ructure location. Pile types <br />included 18-inch, 24-inch, and 30-inch square prestressed concrete piles as <br />well as 20-inch diameter pipe piles. <br /> <br />Project Manager, District Wide Geotechnical Services, FDOT <br />District Seven, Florida: Provided foundation design as well as <br />construction engineering, pile load testing and inspection services, along <br />with drilled shaft inspection services on roadway and bridge projects <br />within the District. <br /> <br />Senior Geotechnical Engineer, New Berth 10, Port of Cristobal, <br />Colon, Republic of Panama: Provided oversight for Panama Ports <br />Company of Contractor's dynamic pile testing program implemented to <br />develop foundation installation criteria for piles supporting a new wharf at <br />the Port of Cristobal. Piles included 28-inch octagonal prestressed <br />concrete piles, with and without 26-inch diameter pipe pile extensions, as <br />well as 30-inch diameter, battered pipe piles. Scope of services included <br />oversight of testing program as well as review and evaluation of testing <br />data and pile installation criteria. <br />
