Tunnel • Second Midtown Tunnel Project, Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia: as the on-site Design Manager During Construction, Ian is responsible for daily management of design services during construction of claim mitigation and negotiation, and financial decisions regarding design work. He is also responsible for coordination and management of all design changes and additional work. Previously, as geotechnical manager for this immersed tunnel project that parallels an existing immersed tunnel, Ian was responsible for the management of all geotechnical aspects of the design. Analyses consisted of dredge slope stability, settlement analyses of the immersed tubes, settlement analyses for the approaches, support of excavation and dewatering for the cut-and-cover section and U-section, protection of an adjacent sewer line and planning of the supplemental geotechnical investigation, among others. For this project, PB is the lead designer for the PPP partnership created to design, build, operate and maintain the tunnel for a period of 58 years. • First Street Tunnel Project, Washington, DC: Parsons Brinckerhoff, in a design-build venture with Skanska-Jay Dee (SKJD), is providing tunnel engineering design services to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) towards a 2,700-ft (820m) long stormwater storage facility to alleviate flooding during storm events for the Bloomingdale community. Ian was responsible for the design of all Near Surface Structures and their Support of Excavations, the development of Instrumentation and Monitoring plans, as well as preparing Construction Impact Assessment Reports, which evaluated the existing structures and facilities due to the effects of tunneling, construction and excavation. • Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel – Parallel Thimble Shoals Tunnel Pursuit, Virginia Beach, Virginia: As pursuit manager and design manager for the pursuit, Ian was responsible for preliminary designs of both an immersed tunnel option and an bored tunnel option, including manmade island extensions, ground improvement, and protection of the existing tunnels and islands, built in the Atlantic Ocean on a subsurface consisting of up to 80 feet of soft compressible clays. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF IAN CHANEY • East Side Access Project, New York City: as Deputy Task Manager for the instrumentation of the Manhattan Tunnels and caverns beneath Grand Central Station, Ian was responsible for the evaluation of instrumentation data and the review and acceptance of contractor submittals during construction. • PSE&G Cross Hudson Project, New York and New Jersey: geotechnical engineer responsible for tunnel inspection, including test pits and tunnel hazard assessment. Responsibilities included performing analysis for the design of soil slopes and cantilever sheet piling for excavations, and assisting with the preparation of the constructability report. • Delaware Aqueduct, New York: geotechnical engineer responsible for developing a numerical model of the aqueduct to determine the extent of plastic deformations around the tunnel periphery during excavation. • Hudson Bergen Light Rail Transit Weehawken Tunnel, Weehawken, New Jersey: field tunnel engineer responsible for the hard rock tunnel, shaft, and underground station beneath the Palisades Ridge for the purpose of extending the Hudson Bergen Light Rail Transit System. Responsibilities included construction oversight of the blasting excavation, rock support installation, grout placement, shotcrete application, and rock mapping. This New Jersey Transit project involved providing general design consultant services for a $1.2 billion, 20.5-mile LRT system. Expected to improve mobility in this heavily congested part of northern New Jersey, the system will include approximately 20 stations and extend from the foot of the Bayonne Bridge in southern Hudson County to the Vince Lombardi Park-and-Ride on the New Jersey Turnpike in Bergen County. Offshore • Offshore Wind Turbine, East Coast, United States: project manager responsible for the final design and installation of the first offshore wind turbine constructed in the United States. Project is currently under development and consists of the design and installation of a 5 megawatt wind turbine founded in an offshore environment. Detailed geotechnical and structural analysis are being performed by Parsons Brinckherhoff to account for the static loads and dynamic operation of the turbine, coupled with the hydrodynamic loading imparted by waves and currents. Parsons Brinckerhoff has provided conceptual engineering for various substructure and foundation types and has advanced the final design of the preferred alternative. Primarily governed by dynamic processes and loading cases, such as driving stresses and fatigue, detailed finite element analyses have been performed to estimate cumulative fatigue damage to the structure. Grouted connections, previously noted as problematic areas of wind turbine substructure design based on European experience, have been analyzed using LSDyna to determine any fatigue-related design issues during operation. Hydrodynamic loading has been developed in time series based on AQWA modeling from nearby buoys, and verified by recently deployed AWAC buoys. An extensive offshore geotechnical engineering investigation utilizing CPTs, soil borings and laboratory testing was implemented to define subsurface conditions, critical for determining lateral soil spring values and for analyzing pile drivability. At completion, the project is expected to be the first offshore wind turbine constructed in the United States. • UK Round 3 Offshore Wind Farm Study, Southern North Sea, UK: Ian provided review services for the design basis document and concept-level turbine support foundation details. The study investigated various foundation types (monopile, jacket and gravity base) for numerous turbine sizes. • Kwajalein Wind Project, Marshall Islands: for this pilot project on a remote Pacific Ocean island, Ian prepared conceptual foundation designs for nearshore, 6 megawatt, 115 meter diameter wind turbines founded on a coral reef. Due to the remote nature of the project, conventional offshore construction methods could not be implemented. Therefore, more conventional, drilled foundation elements and tiedowns to “tune” the dynamic stiffness of the structure were utilized. Facilities • Metro North Harmon Yard Phase III, Croton, New York: as lead geotechnical engineer, Ian was responsible for the management of all geotechnical aspects of this $300M design-build partnering project which includes the construction of two new maintenance shops for Metro-North’s train fleet. For this project, nearly 2,000 TapertubeTM piles were installed through up to 80 feet of soft organic clay deposits. Ian was responsible for planning and implementing the subsurface investigation, the pile test program, PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF IAN CHANEY foundation design and the design of all geotechnical aspects of the facility. The project is Metro North’s largest project ever and was to be completed in just 29 months. Due to the tight schedule, the geotechnical investigation, pile load test programs and pile design are critical items in the successful completion of the project. • Charleston Bus Annex, Staten Island, NY: lead geotechnical engineer and project engineer responsible for project management assistance and the integration of geotechnical services for this $150M Design- Build transportation facility for the MTA. The project contains over 3,000 linear feet of retaining walls with heights of up to 30 feet and a multi-storey maintenance facility founded on a geogrid-reinforced spread footing system. To accommodate storm water for a period of 2 to 5 years after completion of the project, Ian was also responsible for the design of a 40-foot deep by 100-foot long by 40-foot wide braced excavation that
