Registered Professional Engineer: Colorado, Arizona

Mr. MacDougall is a civil engineer with experience primarily on projects related to dams, pipelines, and water treatment facilities. He has provided geotechnical consulting services for various engineering projects within Colorado, Arizona, California, and Wyoming including dams, pipelines, raw water and wastewater treatment facilities, flood control structures, reservoirs, detention ponds, highways, bridges, and low and high rise commercial developments. He has successfully managed projects ranging from small (less than $10,000) geotechnical investigations to moderate (0.5 Million) dam designs and on-call evaluations.

Mr. MacDougall’s technical experience and capabilities include:

• Planning and executing subsurface evaluations
• Embankment Design
• Geotechnical analyses (slope stability, settlement, seepage, etc).
• Geotechnical foundation design (shallow and deep foundations)
• Seismic deformation analysis for embankments
• Preparation of design plans and specifications
• Liquefaction and lateral spreading analysis
• Filter analysis and design
• Geotechnical pipeline design including trenchless installations.
• Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment
• Engineering cost estimating
• Construction observation and testing
• Preparation of geotechnical engineering reports
• Forensic evaluations
