Site Layout Projects: PDX Air Ameriflight Site Layout

Dimensions from project plans were used to create northing and easting coordinates of key site and building locations on the project site. These coordinates were then programmed into a total station. Site lease line corners, building corners and 10 foot offsets, structural gridlines and 10 foot offsets, and all other key site features were then plotted and verified in real space on the project site using the Leica total station. The above photo depicts the actual project structure amidst construction, and the site plan to the right shows the location of key coordinate points. This project provided me the grand opportunity to place the location of an airplane hangar, which will service corporate airlines at the PDX airport for years to come.

Site Layout Projects: Lifeflight Pendleton Site Layout

Similar to the PDX Air Ameriflight site layout project, northing and easting coordinates were created for key building and site features based on dimensions from project plans. These coordinates we programmed into a Leica total station, which was then used to plot and verify the coordinate’s location in real space on the project site. The above photo depicts the actual project structure amidst construction, and the site plan to the right shows the location of key coordinate points. This project provided me the grand opportunity to place the location of an airplane hangar, which will service Lifeflight Network at the Pendleton airport for years to come.

Quantitative Takeoffs: Hillsboro Aviation Anchor Bolt Takeoff

The following four project plans were used, in addition to a spreadsheet tool, to conduct a quantitative takeoff of required anchor bolt rods for a project. The structural footing classifications and footings schedule provided information used to calculate anchor bolt lengths.

The given finished floor elevations of each footing, the footing depth, and the anchor embedment into the spread footing were all used to calculate the required anchor bolt length.

Page 10: Portfolio 2.1

PETERJOVAN OVICH Page 10

The anchor rod plan and anchor rod details provided by the pre-engineered metal building manufacturer describe the required anchor bolt diameters at each footing and the size of the required base plate.

Dutch Bros Coffee Pre-construction project manager and assistant to the account manager for the Centrex/Dutch Bros. Coffee projects. I had the opportunity to be on the ground level of this relationship and was able to assist in the creation of the organizational structure for this special form of “mass project management.” Each of these projects have been design build projects, which have been coordinated with a subcontracted architect and civil design firm. My responsibilities within the Dutch Bros. projects have included:

• Monitor the progress of active jobs • Coordinate with the design team and

clients. • Attend pre-application meetings and initial project site visits • Create and maintain Centrex’s organizational structure for monitoring each job and relaying

information to the client. • Solicit proposals for and engage environmental sub-consultants to conduct Phase 1 Environmental Site

Assessment. • Setup jobs and contracts for each project using project management software. • Log all project communications and deliverables for each project.

PETERJOVAN OVICH Page 12

Dutch Bros Coffee This depicts part of the created organizational structure for the Dutch Bros. projects. This tool, known as smartsheet, was used for project scheduling, client status updates, and file storage. I assisted in the creation of this spreadsheet structure.

Each job shows he current project status (green, yellow, or red), its Centrex job number, the Dutch Bros. real estate status for the site, and overall dates for project completion. Projects are divided into states for ease of viewing.

Page 13: Portfolio 2.1

PETERJOVAN OVICH Page 13

Dutch Bros Coffee

Each project has the following template. The quick look schedule is a tool to convey a brief project status update to the client, action items contains a detailed drop down list of possible tasks for each project with date trackers, and time tracker is an internal method of recording billable hours spent on each project. The remaining three sections are used as a drop box area. Drawings and documents are divided into the categories shown on the left and placed here for clients and sub-consultants to view.

A deeper look into the quick look schedule: These seven tasks have been identified as the critical path items for the majority of Dutch Bros. projects. This quick look schedule also serves as a project timeline estimation tool.

Finally, the scheduling tool below is used to gage a project’s possible duration based on the different design processes required and the type of construction it will be.

GFU Senior Design Project: Fieldhouse Athletics Civil & Site Design

A GFU senior design project sponsored by Centrex Construction. This project runs parallel path with the Fieldhouse Athletics development project. Working with a team of fellow senior civil engineering students, we have been tasked with creating a set of permit ready civil engineering plans. This includes site planning, grading design, hardscape design, drainage plan, parking plan, erosion control plan, sanitary design, power distribution, and gas distribution.

Our team has also conducted traffic counts to supplement the traffic impact report prepared by Mackenzie traffic engineers, as well as performing geotechnical soils analysis and compaction testing. As the project manager of this project I have had the additional experience of coordinating the team’s tasks, interacting with the project client, and providing overall project oversight.

GFU Servant Engineering Project: Thermoelectric Power Generation

A GFU servant engineering project, serving InStove (Institutional Stove Systems). This company designs and fabricates safe and efficient cook-stoves (pictured to right) for use in third world countries. Following InStove’s creation of a water pasteurizer system for use with their cook-stove, our team was asked to design a system which would

convert heat from the cook-stove into electricity which could power a water pump in order to pump water through the water pasteurizer. Our team decided to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to achieve this goal.

To determine the optimal locations of heat absorption for this system, our team conducted thermal mapping experiments. The pot section and under area of the stove were focused on during this experiment (pictured above and right).

GFU Servant Engineering Project: Thermoelectric Power Generation

The information obtained from this experiment was used to create a thermal circuit model of the stove system. This model was then used to predict the heat transfer, and hot/cold temperatures of the TEGs.

Our team designed a power conversion and transfer circuit to convert power from the TEGs into electricity to power the water pump (pictured to right). This system incorporated battery charging for excess energy that was not being used for the water pump. To conclude our design, water coolers were added to the cold side of the TEG’s to create maximum temperature differences across the TEG’s to create the most possible power. Upon completion of this design, our team integrated this system into the stove and tested the full design with battery charging and water pumping. Our design was successful but has the opportunity to be improved upon given additional time.

Topographical Mapping Project A student project conducted through the GFU Engineering Surveying course. This project involved the topographic mapping of a building, The Stevens Center (pictured to the right), and its surrounding features. This project used modern surveying equipment to gather point data of the building and its surroundings. The collected points are below. These points were then used to create a topographic map in AutoCAD Civil 3D. This map can be viewed on the following page.

Pneumatic Engine Project A student project conducted through the GFU Engineering Principles I class. This project required the student to design, value engineer, model in Solidworks, and fabricate the pneumatic engine. The engine depicted to the right and below was designed to maximize speed of the flywheel (Part #7). This goal was catered to by using 2 piston-cylinder systems (Parts #8,9,10), to optimize power, and bushings (Part 5) between the crankshaft (Part #4) and the valve plates (Parts #1,3). The fabrication of this engine was performed using the combination of band saws, lathes, mills, and a drill press.

Various Engineering Projects: Robot Project, Simon Says Project, Speaker Project

Wrote code, using Arduino, to navigate a “puma” robot, pictured to left, through an obstacle course. This robot was required to make left turns, right turns, avoid obstacles, rotate 360 degrees, go backwards, and follow walls.

Wrote code, using Verilog, to replicate the game “Simon Says.” This game was played on the circuit board pictured to the right. This program was required to create a random string of light signals, having the user replicate this pattern, and sharing the user’s score after each turn. This program also included two cheat modes. The first allowed the user to repeat the programs most recent light pattern, and the second showed the user the upcoming lights in the pattern on an attached second circuit board.

Given a circuit diagram, the components for a speaker were laid out and soldered together to create a working speaker/subwoofer/amplifier system. During the design of this system, multiple resister capacitor and inductor levels were chosen to achieve optimum power transfer. An enclosure for this system was designed and constructed, pictured to left.

Richter Research Project: Magnetic Hole Formation Subject to Directional

Discontinuities Accepted as a Richter Research Scholar, I was given the opportunity to conduct research with Dr. Bob Hamilton, Professor of Physics with George Fox University. I worked with Dr. Hamilton for 10 weeks during the summer of 2014, meeting each day and running theoretically based computer trials, which modeled Alfven wave behavior. The goal of our research was to explore the behavior of Alfven waves, which has no mathematical model to explain or predict its path. This behavior is rotationally asymmetrical, and while the symmetric behavior of an Alfven wave can be described using the Derivative Non-Linear Schrodinger Equation, there is no derivation of this equation, which can be used to describe the asymmetric wave case. A full report of the conducted research and findings, as well as the published poster used to present these findings can be viewed in the following pages.
