EDUCATION <br />PhD, Geotechnical <br />Engineering, <br />Georgia Institute <br />of Technology <br />Atlanta, GA <br />MS, Geotechnical <br />Engineering, <br />Georgia Institute <br />of Technology, <br />Atlanta, GA <br />BS, Civil <br />Engineering, <br />National Chfao <br />Tung University, <br />Taiwan <br />REGISTRATIONS / <br />CERTIFICATIONS <br />Geotechnical <br />Engineer, <br />California No. <br />3183 <br />Civil Engineer, <br />California No. <br />63238 <br />Chien -Chang Chen, PhD, PE, GE <br />Supervising Engineer <br />Chien -Chang Chen specializes in developing foundation recommendations for <br />the design and construction of pipelines, transportation, power supplies, <br />residential development, schools, and commercial structures including the <br />mitigation of soft ground and liquefaction by ground improvement. He offers <br />leadership in the provision of geotechnical interpretation, analysis, the <br />development of geotechnical solutions and design production, including project <br />management and business development. Chien -Chang has worked on a wide <br />variety of engineering projects in the United States, New Zealand, and Taiwan <br />including as a geotechnical engineer for street improvements, street <br />preservation, on -call engineering services, drain projects, design services, and <br />inspections. <br />Relevant Project Experience <br />City Trunk Line South — Unit 6 (CTLS-6), Studio City, California, Los <br />Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Project Engineer. <br />Performed geotechnical field investigation and prepared geotechnical baseline <br />reports for the CTLS-6 project. The project involved relining the existing 51-inch <br />inner diameter, riveted steel pipe with a carbon fiber -reinforced polymer (CFRP) <br />lining, removal of the flow meter, and relocation of the flow control station using <br />cut -and -cover method. Our field investigation task involved drilling and sampling <br />of 5 borings to 50 feet bgs along the pipeline alignment, laboratory testing on soil <br />samples, preparation of geotechnical baseline reports, review of design drawings <br />and specifications, and scheduling. <br />Century Trunk Line — Unit 1 (CTL-1), Inglewood, California, Los Angeles <br />Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Project Engineer. Performed <br />technical review of shoring system designed by the Contractor and construction <br />inspection for the CTL-1 project. The project involved involve installation of <br />approximately 9,700 lineal feet of 48-inch diameter, earthquake resistant ductile - <br />iron pipe using both cut -and -cover and tunneling methods. <br />Paseo Del Mar (White Point) Permanent Restoration Project, Los Angeles <br />Geotechnical Engineering Division (LAGED). Lead Geotechnical Engineer. <br />Led and performed a geotechnical detailed design for a single span bridge (380 <br />feet long) and associated site civil work for the Paseo Del Mar (White Point) <br />Permanent Restoration Project in San Pedro, California, following the 2011 White <br />Point landslide. Detailed design involved in interpretation of design parameters <br />for soils and rock, seismic assessment to determine design peak ground <br />acceleration and liquefaction potential, foundation design and ground <br />improvement for the proposed bridge, mitigation of the existing slopes by deep <br />soil mixing and ground anchors and the reinforced soil slopes located in approach <br />fill. <br />Proposal for On -Call Plan Checking Services 33 <br />
