The Replacement of the Kosciuszko Bridge – Phase 2 (1 PDH)

Speaker: Kwok L. Tam, P.E.
Vice President, WSP USA

Listen to Kwok L. Tam, P.E., Vice President, National Bridges & Structures Practice at WSP USA, talk about the new Kosciuszko Bridge that replaces a 1.1-mile segment of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway over Newtown Creek with two parallel, modern, and innovative structures each with a single-tower cable-stayed main span. The signature structures carry an estimated 180,000 vehicles per day and provide a gateway between Brooklyn and Queens and reshape the skyline of these two New York City boroughs. State of the art methods were employed to help reduce future maintenance requirements and to provide for a 100-year service life of the bridge. The methodology used to also protect against chloride infiltration and premature deterioration will be discussed, as well as the design practices used to protect against future concrete spalling and cracking.

Mr. Tam has over 30 years of experience in providing structural engineering, seismic analysis, design, and inspection services for major bridges and highway structures. His project experience includes project management/coordination and engineering design of numerous structures throughout the New York metropolitan area, as well as in Asia. He is deeply involved in all aspects of bridge design, including the development of design plans, writing of special specifications, developing engineer’s cost estimates, and the construction phase. He specializes in long-span bridges of all types, particularly cable-stayed bridges.

Special Inspections/Third Party Inspections (1 PDH)

Speaker: Laurence W. Keller, P.E.
Vice President, Whitestone Associates, Inc,

Special inspections were developed and codified to minimize improper construction and ensure that the design-professional-in-responsible-charge remains engaged in the construction process to reduce project defects and failures. As such, one of the major functions of design professionals occurs after the design plans are approved and a building permit is issued through the special inspection program. Join us for a presentation by Laurence W. Keller, P.E. from Whitestone Associates, Inc. on special inspection code requirements and responsibilities.

Laurence W. Keller is a licensed professional engineer and Vice President at Whitestone Associates, Inc, which is a New Jersey-based materials testing, geotechnical engineering, and environmental firm, providing consulting services for more than 25 years.
