Mr. Stoddard has 12 years of experience in the design of civil
engineering infrastructure with an emphasis on design of flood
protection and coastal resiliency features, stormwater systems,
green infrastructure solutions and hydraulic structures. His
responsibilities have included site and system planning,
structural design of flood protection features, stormwater
design, bridge and roadway design, survey coordination,
geotechnical analysis, site engineering, and permitting through
municipal governments, state, and federal entities as well as
serving in the role of construction technical advisor and
inspector. Mr. Stoddard has performed inspections of levee
systems for FEMA accreditation and annual maintenance and
operation reports as well asinspections of both riverine and
coastal hydraulic structures in the U.S. and in the Netherlands
on work exchange. Mr. Stoddard has served as senior project
engineer and engineer of record on a variety of task orders in
both the public and private sector having had a key design role
in the Gulf Coast region after Hurricane Katrina and most
recently in the Northeast as a response to Superstorm Sandy
where he has served as technical lead and engineer of record
for several resiliency projects and joint ventures, representing
work for multiple clients and agencieswithin the region.
RECENT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
New York City Department of Design and Construction: East Side Coastal Resiliency / New York NY.
Senior Project Engineer for conceptual design of flood mitigation features in lower Manhattan between
Montgomery Street and 23rd Street encompassing East River Park, Con-Edison Pier and Stuyvesant Cove Park.
Responsibilities included coordinating between urban design teams, landscape architects and engineers to
develop multiple conceptual designs for flood protection features, pedestrian bridges, roadways, stormwater
infrastructure and utility mitigation within the project area, while directing and coordinating work on storm surge
simulations and groundwater flow calculations. Technical duties included geotechnical analysis and design of
earthen berm protection features, structural analysis of floodwalls, gates and other permanent protection
measures, selection of deployable or removable systems and performing analysis on interior stormwater
hydrology related to tide gate closures, green infrastructure, pumping systems and the leveraging of existing
system capacity to mitigate interior flooding. Designs were closely coordinated with city agencies, FEMA, Con-
