Part 1 - APPLICATION OF THEORY
(Click here to view an explanation of Application of Theory)

I have gained experience in the following areas of application of theory in this reporting period (type an X in the box
to the right of all those that apply). These areas are described in detail in APEGS Guideline 11.

Analysis X Design and synthesis X Testing methods X Implementation methods X

Work experience examples for Application of Theory in this reporting period: (click here for further instructions)

Supervisor/Mentor name(s): Jim Jones


Examples for the period (mm/dd/yyyy): from 01/20/04 to 01/20/06
Analysis
I performed a load rating analysis on North Battleford Bridge according to the CSA-S6-00 Canadian
Highway Bridge Design Code using Saskatchewan Highway and Transportations (SHT) primary legal
truck loads to determine feasibility of widening the existing structure. Several widening options were
evaluated and compared to the existing structural capacity of the hybrid steel plate girders to determine
strengthening requirements. A thorough detailed analysis was required as the steel girders material and
cross-sectional properties varied along their length.
I performed a load rating analysis on the Victoria Bridge according to the CSA-S6-00 Canadian Highway
Bridge Design Code to determine if the current load restriction of 5 tonne was valid given the corrosion and
deterioration found in the bottom chord members of the trusses.
I performed a number of load rating analysis on steel, timber, and concrete bridges throughout the province
to typically determine feasibility of rehabilitating existing structures and/or as part of routine inspections.
Design and synthesis
I designed the strengthening details for the widening of the North Battleford Bridge. Strengthening
consisted of bolting steel plates to the top and bottom flanges of the hybrid steel girders and bottom flanges
of the floor beams, attaching nelson studs to the top flanges of the hybrid steel girders to make the girders
composite with the concrete deck, and modification of the cast in place concrete girders in the abutment
spans.
I performed a design check for several components for the North Battleford Wastewater Treatment Plant,
including the design of the concrete clarifiers and piling plan for several of the site buildings.
I performed several culvert designs for replacement of existing drainage structures for SHT.
Testing methods
I participated in several bridge deck testing programs for the City of Saskatoon, and the City of Prince
Albert for various bridge structures. Deck testing consisted of delamination testing by chain-dragging,
procuring concrete powder samples for chloride testing, concrete cover testing using electronic cover meter,
and CSE testing (Copper sulfate electrode testing).
I arranged for and participated in the Magnetic Particle Testing of a 5 span steel bridge near Meadow Lake
for SHT. Testing program was required after a previous inspection I performed found fatigue cracking in
several welds on the horizontal bracing affixed to the bottom flange of the main girders.
Implementation methods
I performed life cycle costing analysis on several bridge structures to determine the least cost alternative for
several rehabilitation options and performed maintenances and rehabilitation evaluations for many bridge
structures for the City of Saskatoon and SHT as part of their typical routine inspections.

Work experience examples for Practical Experience in this reporting period: (click here for further instructions)

Supervisor/Mentor name(s): Jim Jones


Examples for the period (mm/dd/yyyy): from 01/20/04 to 01/20/06
Visits of engineering works
I provided site inspections for several projects that were designed by our office. This work entailed
checking accuracy of reinforcing steel placement, concrete placement/finishing, quality assurance, and
other construction practices to ensure contractors compliance with contract plans and specifications.
Projects included; Diefenbaker Bridge Rehabilitation, Highway 16 Culvert Replacement, Circle and
College Bridge Overpass Construction, and Riverside Drive Bridge Rehabilitation.
I performed numerous routine visual inspections on steel, timber, and concrete bridges to determine
material and performance defects for local, provincial, and federal public agencies. Inspections were
carried out either according to Ontario Ministry of Transportation Bridge Structure Inspection Manual
(OSIM) or other proprietary bridge management systems.
I performed specialized detailed inspections that included destructive and non-destructive testing methods
on several bridges and building structures throughout the province. Projects included; deck testing for the
City of Saskatoon, detailed investigation of the University Bridge Piers for the City of Saskatoon, Magnetic
Particle Testing for Highway #55/Beaver River Bridge for SHT, structural assessment of North Battleford
Civic Centre.
Limitations of practical engineering
I have an understanding of the limits practical engineering when using testing equipment and techniques.
Care must be taken and strict procedures must be followed in order to produce reliable and reproducible
results so that the results can be accurately interpreted by others in order to achieve the desired results.
Application of equipment
The role of computer software is vital in all aspects of our work; I use SAP 2000 structural software as a
design and analysis aid when performing member analysis/design, I use Haestads Culvertmaster software
when analyzing existing hydraulic conditions and for designing the viable alternatives for a culvert
replacement, I use Microsoft Excel as a calculation tool for performing repetitive calculations for structural
analysis and for cost estimates for construction and fees, and I use Microsoft Office for writing reports and
preparing contract specifications.
Significance of time
I am involved with the writing of proposals and estimating of engineering effort to complete proposed
projects. This includes determining available resources, calculation of man-hours, and scheduling to ensure
that the project can be completed on budget and within the given timeframe.

Part 3 - MANAGEMENT OF ENGINEERING
(Click here to view an explanation of Management of Engineering)

I have gained experience in the following areas of management of engineering in this reporting period (type an X in
the box to the right of all those that apply). These areas are described in detail in APEGS Guideline 11.

Planning X Budgeting X Project control X


Scheduling X Supervision X Risk assessment X
Other (specify)

Work experience examples for Management of Engineering in this reporting period: (click here for further instructions)

Supervisor/Mentor name(s): Jim Jones


Examples for the period (mm/dd/yyyy): from 01/20/04 to 01/20/06
Planning
I have been involved with the planning of many projects from inception to completion. For example, for
the Victoria Bridge detailed bridge inspection; I wrote the proposal and prepared the fee estimate that won
us the job, prepared the inspection plan, organized the manpower and equipment to perform the inspection,
led the inspection, performed the load rating analysis, wrote the final report, and assisted with its
presentation to our client.
Scheduling
As part of the proposal process, I developed detailed schedules for completion of our services. The
development of these schedules ensured clients project delivery dates would be met and assisted us in the
preparation of the cost estimates for our engineering services.
Budgeting
As part of the proposal process, I developed detailed cost estimates for our engineering services for a
number of clients. These cost estimates, while competitive, included our fess required in order to complete
all aspects of the proposed project as outlined in the Request for Proposals. After the successful award of a
project, I calculated preliminary budgets for presentation to the client for completion of the proposed work.
These budgets included contingencies, general requirements, and contractor overhead and profits. As
projects progressed towards tender stage, I constantly adjusted these detailed budgets as quantities and unit
costs were updated.
Supervision
As a project manager, I was responsible for the successful completion of many projects. This required the
coordination of other employees within our department and the allocation of our resources. This typically
involved the supervision of technologists for drawings and calculations, and intermittently providing
technical assistance to other engineers when required.
Project Control
As a project manger, I was in control of numerous projects through all phases of the work until its
completion. As a clients representative, I monitored and controlled project progress through chairing of
weekly/bi-weekly construction meetings and enforcing the contract specifications to ensure that the
contractor would complete the work within the project schedule and remain within the clients budget. As
my companys representative, I ensured that our project team stayed within our allocated budget through
monitoring costs/expenditures and by assisting with the preparation of monthly invoices to our clients.

Part 4 - SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF ENGINEERING
(Click here to view an explanation of Social Implications of Engineering)

During this reporting period, my awareness of the social implications of engineering has been heightened in the
following areas (type an X in the box to the right of all those that apply). These areas are described in detail in
APEGS Guideline 11.

The value or benefits of engineering works to the public X


Safeguards to protect employees and the public and mitigating adverse impacts X
Engineering activity and the public at large (for example, educational programs)
Interest and involvement in the broader social implications of engineering
Significance of regulatory agencies on the practice of engineering X

Work experience examples for Social Implications in this reporting period: (click here for further instructions)

Supervisor/Mentor name(s): Jim Jones


Examples for the period (mm/dd/yyyy): from 01/20/04 to 01/20/06
The value and benefits of engineering works to the public of the many of the projects that I have been
involved with, ensures that the bridges and structures that we inspect are safe for public use. These projects
have provided me with a heightened awareness of the potential consequences of our work and the effect it
can have on the public. For example, the Victoria Bridge detailed inspection led to the recommendation of
temporary closing the bridge to vehicular traffic until certain repairs could be made to key components of
the trusses. The analysis also needed to include an assessment of the bridge for pedestrian use only to
ensure the safety of the traveling public.
As our clients are typically public agencies, I provide additional benefits to the public with the value
engineering we provide as every detailed investigation typically is accompanied by a life-cycle cost
analysis, providing our clients with the most viable, least cost alternative.
Through several courses that I have taken with the Saskatchewan Construction Association along with our
companys own health and safety policies, I have gained an excellent understanding of the provincials
occupational health and safety requirements necessary to ensure the safety of fellow employees and the
general public on each project we undertake. For example, at the initiation of each of my projects, I am
required to fill out a project Risk Management Safety form outlining the potential job hazards, required
personal protective equipment and precautionary measures that may be required to complete the work.
Additionally, I protect the publics interests by enforcing the contract specifications for each project
undertaken as they pertain to health and safety (i.e. work zone safety, tail gate meetings, hazardous
materials, emission controls etc.).
I have developed an appreciation of the role of regulatory bodies on the practice of engineering. These
agencies provide the minimum guidelines that must be met to ensure the safety of the general public. For
example, using the CSA-S6-00 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code and National Building Code in
limit states design ensures that the correct load factors are used in order to safeguard the public. For
example, as I perform a load rating analysis on a bridge, I must use the appropriate modification and load
factors to ensure that the structure can safely carry the loads placed upon it, while taking into consideration
the current condition state of the member/component under investigation.
