REZA SABERI, RCE, GE — PRINCIPAL ENGINEER --SA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
<br />Mr. Saberi has more than 15 years of geotechnical consulting experience within the
<br />Southern California region. He has performed and completed a wide range of
<br />assigned tasks for commercial, residential and public works projects. His
<br />geotechnical experience includes slope stability analysis and remedial earthwork
<br />design for hillside developments, settlement analysis, design of shallow and deep
<br />foundations, preliminary investigations and plan review studies, slope stability
<br />analysis including geogrid reinforced and cement/lime treated slopes, pavement
<br />design and rehabilitation, forensic studies, seismic hazard analysis and evaluation,
<br />and design of reinforced earth retaining walls.
<br />Private sector work experience includes projects with southern California home
<br />builders and many major land developers including the Irvine Company, Cook Hill
<br />Properties, California Pacific Homes, Lennar Homes, Brookfield Homes and Shea
<br />Communities. Retail, commercial and public works clients include Target
<br />Corporation, Irvine Retail Properties, Pacific Life Insurance Company, Irvine Ranch
<br />Water District and Capistrano Unified School District. Representative projects on
<br />which Mr. Saberi has worked include:
<br />Pacific Life Office Tower, City of Aliso Viejo, California
<br />Geotechnical investigation and grading plan reviews for the tallest building in Aliso
<br />Viejo included assisting in pile foundation design, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE)
<br />wall design, and vehicular and pedestrian bridge design. Geotechnical services during
<br />construction included inspection during indicator pile program and pile driving
<br />operations for the nine -story steel -framed structure.
<br />Montebello Hills Development, City of Montebello, California
<br />Geotechnical investigation, including extensive subsurface exploration, and preliminary
<br />grading plan review for the approximately 500-acre Montebello Oil Field established in
<br />1918 in Los Angeles County. Project constraints include deep fill settlement, slope
<br />stabilization measures designed for adverse bedding conditions, seismic exposure, and
<br />native habitat protection/restoration. Mr. Saberi was the project engineer during the
<br />recent grading of the project which was completed in June 2021 and included more than
<br />5 million cubic yards of earthwork. He was responsible for design of buttresses/shear
<br />keys, seismic and settlement evaluation, design of building foundations, pavement
<br />sections, etc. during the design and construction phases.
<br />Irvine Ranch Water District, Biosolids and Energy Recovery Facility,
<br />Michelson Plant, Irvine, California
<br />Geotechnical investigation and site characterization in an historic peat marsh with
<br />shallow groundwater to support design of Irvine Ranch Water District's state of the art
<br />waste processing facility. This project was over $180 million in design and construction
<br />costs. The design phase included site specific horizontal response spectra, groundwater
<br />modeling, determination of thickness and lateral extent of peat deposits, and pile design
<br />for the facility which includes 90-foot high, partially subterranean egg -shaped digestion
<br />structures, a six -story building, methane gas flare, large capacity holding and processing
<br />tanks and several thousand linear feet of supporting pipelines. Mr. Saberi was
<br />responsible for design of pile foundations and evaluation of seismic induced liquefaction
<br />hazards and settlement.
