<br />Peofesioral Summary
<br />Lee Biggers, S.E., has over 40 years of experience in the structural engineering
<br />profession, and has been responsible for the structural design of construction projects
<br />collectively totaling over $50OM in construction cost. He has designed single and mule
<br />story residentiai bulldirigs, schools, waterfront structures, bridges, water / wastewater
<br />structures. and airfeld hangars, Mr. Biggers has also performed forensic Investigations,
<br />peer reviews, rehabilitations, seismic studies, expert witness litigation. and value
<br />engineering over the course of his career. He has prepared PS&E packages, provided
<br />structural design, assessed structural stability and load -bearing capacities, and
<br />conducted seismic evaluations for new and existing structures. Reflecting his
<br />contributions to the profession, Mr. Biggers was inducted as a Fellow of the Structural
<br />Engineers Association of California,
<br />Project Experience
<br />Structural (Engineer -21.5 MG Overmyer Reservoir Rehabilitation and Structural
<br />Upgrade - Huntington Beach, CA (City of Huntington Reach) - Mr. Biggers provided
<br />structural engineering services for the 21.5MG Overmyer Reservoir Rehabilitation.
<br />Following a detailed structural evaluation of the City of Huntington Beach's Overmyer
<br />Reservoir 1, 2. and 3, and based on recommendations from Richard Brady &
<br />Associates. the City elected to demolish Reservoirs 1 and 2, which held 1.0 and 1.5
<br />million gallons, respectively. The City of Huntington Beach then elected to rehabilitate
<br />and structurally upgrade the larger 21.5 million gallon Overmyer Reservoir No. 3. To
<br />accomplish this task, the City retained Richard Brady & Associates to prepare design
<br />and construction documents. The upgrade of Overmyer Reservoir No. 3 included a
<br />complete structural upgrade of the below -ground retaining wall system and roof
<br />supporting columns. New 25-foot high cast -in -place reinforced concrete retaining walls
<br />and structurally -upgraded columns were built. In addition to the reservoir upgrade.
<br />Structural Engineer - Whitegates Reservoirs and Pump Stations; Riverside, CA (City of
<br />Riverside) - The Design/Build (D/B) project included design of two reservoirs and two
<br />pump stations. The new reservoirs provide a combined capacity of 9 MG with two pump
<br />stations capable of operating at 1600 MGD. Each of the two pump stations included
<br />utility service entrance, metering and power distribution, interior lighting, level, flow and
<br />pressure instruments, control panels with PLCs and spread spectrum wireless
<br />communications, VFDs and/or soft start motor controllers. Provided complete design,
<br />construction support, inspection and startup and commissioning services in support of
<br />this impressive project submitted for award to the Design Build Institute of America
<br />(DBIA).
<br />Structural Engineer - Peck Reservoir Booster Pump Station Upgrades; Huntington
<br />Beach, CA (City of Huntington Beach) - Project consisted of electrical, mechanical and
<br />structural upgrades to an existing water booster pump station to provide dual
<br />mechanical/electrical drive capabilities for four (4) existing 350 HP pumps. Primary
<br />project objective included evaluating the feasibility of upgrading existing Natural Gas
<br />(NG) engine driven pumps with right angle gear drives by adding combination gear
<br />drives and 350 HP variable speed electric motors to make electrical energy the new
<br />prime mover rather than the NO engines. The study required close coordination with
<br />Southern California Edison (SCE) to determine the capacity of the utility's distribution
<br />system in a densely populated residential area.
