Conducted load analysis using CYME to evaluate existing networks as well as plan and design for expansions.
Designed an apparatus to inspect and document the underground network of cables with a GoPro while streaming the video live to the surface for quick and safe inspection.
Used digital stitching software to combine multiple photos and videos of manholes into one image in order to trace cables.
Produced a suite of job orders, cable routing diagrams, and manhole photos for over 30 manholes and made them available online to all employees through a GIS interface.
Developed roadwork procedures to allow for same-day access to manholes in the event of an emergency.
