As a Project Manager and Technical Advisor. Ms. Kour determined collection system damages caused because of Hurricane Harvey. Where NSI was one of the four consultants to study the entire City of Houston sewer network, she was involved in developing a matrix to assess the damage, studied (inspected, CCTV’s) a sample size of the sewer collection system, and projected the damages to the sewer collection system. The technical memorandum served as the basis of Project Worksheet prepared by Tetra Tech to submit to FEMA.

Ms. Kour was associated as the Project Manager during study and design phase and was responsible for negotiating scope, LOE, managing the team and sub consultants, coordinating all the client reviews, and developing the deliverables. The project involved developing and construction/bid ready document for the roadway widening of 2-lane Wilson Road (1.8Miles) with 4-lane, median-divided concrete section, including installation of new signal with an estimated cost of $11.4 million. Ms. Kaur successfully delivered the project as per the schedule and budget.

Ms .Kour was responsible for managing schedule and budget, coordinating with sub consultant, leading team to prepare the PER and design drawings for bidding. The project was about assessment of the sewer systems to determine necessary repair, replacement, and upgrades to meet with current needs of the City for system improvements and to facilitate abandonment of back lot sewers.

As part of this project, around 12,000 LF of new sanitary sewer ranging from 8-inches to 24-inches in diameter were designed to be installed in ROW. Ms. Kour preformed utility coordination, TXDOT permit coordination, development of tree plans, traffic control & SWPPP. She was also responsible for preparing the construction drawings to be issued as work orders for rehabilitation of arterial streets. It is an ongoing work order project where seven major thoroughfares were assessed till date and five were completed already. Preparation of TCP’s, SWPPP plans, driveway access schedule was also included as part of the construction drawings.

Prepared and submitted 920 site specific (Tier 2) environmental assessments, along with TGLO’s regulatory reviews that produced ZERO comments with an average review time of less than one day. The post-completion recorded zero findings in HUD and TGLO audits. The project is about preparing of environmental site assessments, development of standard plans and specifications for single-family home sites, site-specific application of standard plans in developing construction documents, construction or administration or inspection of site and quality control.

As a Project Engineer, Ms. Kour contributed to the larger Citywide, multi-year infrastructure repair or recovery effort funded by FEMA to restore the city’s distribution system. Her responsibilities during her association include designing, assessing required quantity, preparing bid items, set drawings of new waterlines and drainage improvements on over 60 city blocks.

Involved as Project Engineer in the design of waterlines ranging from 6-inches to 48-inches in diameter. The overall project includes a $16 million water transmission project, $4 million sewer pumping station and $6 million water distribution project. Work includes all aspects of design and permitting including 404 permits and SWPPPs.

As a Project Manager, Ms. Kour managed all aspects of the project to rehabilitate City’s sewerage system following Hurricane Katrina. She was responsible for inspection, cleaning, CCTV, by-pass pumping operations, preparation of rehabilitation, and recommending work order sheets to repair the sewerage system. She developed and maintained an accelerated schedule to provide the client with immediate results and assessments of their system. She had established procedures for collecting, storing and processing the inspection data to produce repair work orders, and observed preparation of work orders of value $14 million dollars construction cost.

Being a Project Engineer, Ms Kour worked on the design and preparation of drawings for a successful bid. The tasks included preparing submittals and cost estimates for client’s review, preparing TCP’s, SWPPP plans, driveway access schedule, etc. The contract was bid and constructed without any change orders. The project involved removal and replacement of 600 LF of exiting 72-inch concrete arch pipes and installing catch basins to improve street-side drainage. The limits of the project were Cleary Avenue between, Airline HWY and Metairie Rd.

Involved as Project Engineer, developed capital improvement recommendations, scheduled improvements, and estimated probable costs. Accordingly, Geo-coded the waterline repairs done by the client for the past 10 years, built a database that generated priority action number (PAN) score on the water lines based on the water main material, age, breaks, leaks, performance, location, size, and customer impact. The PAN score was used to prioritize repair work for the distribution system. The project scope was to develop Water System Assessment and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Jefferson Parish. All repairs performed by Parish in the past decade were Geo-coded in Arc Map and assigned to individual water line segments.

Ms. Kour was involved as Project Engineer, where she developed project execution plans and led a team of engineers, and inspectors. She coordinated with different teams to generate inspection maps for field personal, and processed field data to identify defects that may require rehabilitation. The project was to identify damaged sewer, water, and drainage utilities for 51 streets that needed repair prior to resurfacing the street. The reports were generated per street basis and were sent to New Orleans DPW, WB, and HNTB documenting the inspection assessments and recommending the repairs needed.

As a Design Manager, Ms. Kour provided day-to-day contracts of administration and management services on behalf of client (S&WB) for multiple designs and construction contracts on the SSERP program valued at more than $383M. SSERP was implemented by S&WB as a result of the consent decree settlement. Served as an integral member of the data management team. The data management system integrates multiple databases with an interactive support system operating on a Geographic Information System platform. During her association, Ms.Kour also served as the project manager for Carrollton, Ninth Ward, and South Shore Basins rehabilitation design. This involves QA/QC of the 25 manhole and sewer line rehabilitation contract documents, permits, and pay requests submitted by the sub consultants. All contracts of the program were bid below budget and were ahead of the regulatory schedule.
