W E 5 T Y O S T <br />h&,�Ao <br />ASSOCIATES <br />Jeff Hesse, PE <br />Jeff Hesse is an operations technology consultant and a registered engineer <br />with 10 years of experience and a diverse background in providing services <br />to the water and wastewater industries. His career began in operations <br />and maintenance consulting, and has expanded to include control systems <br />and technology master planning; design; data integration and reporting; <br />programming; and implementation including on-site commissioning/startup <br />and personnel training. Jeff is dedicated to designing and implementing systems <br />directly with client engineering staff, and operations and maintenance groups, <br />to deliver solutions built around the process objectives, health and safety, and <br />the end-user experience. <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Annexation Telemetry, River Place and Lost Creek Municipal Utilities <br />Districts, City of Austin Water Utilities. TX: Project Manager responsible <br />for control system design and implementation of two annexed municipal <br />utilities districts including one elevated water storage tank and 15 wastewater <br />facilities (13 lift stations and 2 treatment plants). The design phase includes <br />preliminary assessment, recommendations, and final design to replace the <br />existing Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment <br />which does not match the City's current equipment or design standards. The <br />implementation phase includes construction support, configuration, and start- <br />up for control systems of all facilities while maintaining collection, treatment, <br />and distribution objectives. Each site includes a City Standard RTU panel with <br />Modicon PLC and CISCO 4G wireless router that will be integrated into Austin <br />Water's existing SCADA systems. In addition, the elevated storage tank adds a <br />900MHz MDS radio integrated into the existing radio network for redundant <br />communications. <br />Automated Meter Reading Program Support 2015 and 2016, Edwards <br />Aquifer Authority, San Antonio, TX: Project Manager and Technical <br />Lead providing a baseline assessment of the Authority's existing Automated <br />Meter Reading (AMR) equipment, recommending alternatives to improve <br />maintenance, support and long term expansion of the system. The project also <br />included on-call support over 2 years. EAA installed automated meter reading <br />equipment at permitted irrigation wells for data collection and reporting <br />purposes. The AMR program initially focused on a pilot study of 24 volunteers <br />(59 meters) over 2 counties in a control group (CG) to verify system operations <br />and reliability. The CG sites were fitted with components to log and store flow <br />meter readings, and provide data via a local connection to the AMR panel or <br />radio communication nodes and internet gateways connected to the EAA office <br />in San Antonio. <br />Water Treatment Facilities Master Plan, City of Arlington, TX: Project <br />Engineer providing evaluation of two water treatment plants and ancillary <br />facilities for potential rehabilitation, improvements and optimization specific <br />to operations and SCADA technology. The evaluation included a baseline <br />Professional Registrations <br />• Professional Environmental <br />Engineer, Arizona No. 53769 <br />• Professional Civil Engineer, <br />Colorado No. 0051002 <br />• Professional Environmental <br />Engineer, Texas No. 122716 <br />Education <br />• BS, Civil Engineering, Iowa State <br />University <br />Professional Affiliations <br />• California Water Environment <br />Association <br />• Central Valley Clean Water <br />Association <br />
