Peter Skopek, GE, PE, PHD <br />Geotechnica <br />Dr. Skopek has executed a variety of geotechnical engineering projects <br />for a broad range of private and public clients. These projects included <br />transportation infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and residential <br />developments, landfill design and redevelopment, design of tailings <br />and earthen dams and reservoirs, deep and shallow foundation design, <br />slope assessment and stabilization design, ground stabilization, <br />design of retaining walls and excavations, liquefaction assessment <br />and geotechnical seismic design, forensic geotechnical engineering, <br />geotechnical review for private and public agencies, performance <br />reviews, geotechnical site investigation, design and implementation <br />of laboratory programs, field inspections, and provision of quality <br />assurance and engineering services during construction. <br />Storm Water Infiltration and Storage Facility — Bolivar Park, <br />Lakewood, California Santa Monica Clean Beaches Initiative. <br />Geotechnical Manager. Dr. Skopek performed a geotechnical <br />investigation, infiltration study, and provided construction inspection <br />services for the storm water storage and infiltration facility constructed <br />at Bolivar Park in the City of Lakewood, California. The invert of the <br />proposed infiltration facilities was at a depth between 14 to 18 feet <br />below the current grade. The facility consists of underground storage <br />chambers which allow percolation of storm water, diverted from the <br />adjacent Del Amo flood control channel, into the subgrade. The project <br />also included drilling, logging, and sampling of 5 hollow stem auger <br />exploratory borings and infiltration tests in 3 percolation borings. <br />California Santa Monica Clean Beaches Initiative, City of <br />Santa Monica, CA. Geotechnical Manager. Dr. Skopek is providing <br />geotechnical design and Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) services <br />to the City of Santa Monica for the Clean Beaches project located <br />in the vicinity of the Santa Monica Pier. The City is in the process <br />of implementing its Clean Beaches project to improve beach water <br />quality and increase the City's drought resilience. Services provided <br />thus far have included site characterization, seismic hazard evaluation, <br />foundation design for the proposed tanks and conveyance pipelines, and <br />shoring design including dewatering considerations for the construction <br />of the proposed facilities. CQA services will include observation of the <br />installation of the shoring system, excavation, subgrade preparation, <br />placement of pipelines, asphalt replacement, and as -built reporting. <br />Multiple On -Site Storm Water Disposal Facilities in Los Angeles <br />and Orange Counties.
