A civil engineer specializing in water and wastewater engineering serves as an expert witness with more than 50 years of experience in sanitary engineering, including over 15 years of involvement in litigation. Work in this capacity addresses the design, evaluation, and operation of water distribution systems, wastewater treatment facilities, septic systems, and drainage infrastructure, with application to disputes involving contamination, system failures, sewer overflows, and property damage. Experience includes consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in matters involving water system performance and wastewater conditions.

Technical analysis encompasses potable water supply, sewage collection systems, treatment plants, leach fields, and drainage systems, including evaluation of sewer leaks, leakage into structures, groundwater and surface contamination, and system capacity. Casework has involved investigation of coliform contamination, septic and leach field failures, and operational deficiencies in water systems, as well as disputes involving water main breaks, delayed system shutoff, and infrastructure performance. Additional work includes analysis of stormwater systems such as pump stations and detention basins, including capacity limitations, overflow conditions, and regulatory considerations, along with evaluation of system reliability, maintenance practices, and engineering compliance.
