RANDALL GOODE, PE, PRINCIPAL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER

Randall founded Strata Design in 2006 and has 30 years of professional engineering consulting practice with primary emphasis in geo/environmental engineering, public works, project management, and construction QA/QC throughout Oregon, Washington and California. He maintains civil engineering licensure in Oregon, Washington and California. He has extensive experience with:

• civil and geotechnical analysis

• environmental site design involving construction project management and QA/QC on large

• multi-faceted public works projects

• contaminated site remediation

• stormwater treatment

• erosion control plans

• deep foundations and earth structures including micro-piles, soil nails, earthwork and shoring

• landslide stabilization projects
  
  Randy is skilled in mapping and design software and engineering analysis programs including AutoCad Civil 3D, Slope/W, LPILE, CONSOL, SNAIL and others as well as utilizing ArcGIS and LiDAR survey point clouds and has developed processes in-house for creating 3D elevation site plan and DTM surfaces for migration into autoCAD software. This provides clients with full access to high precision topographic site survey maps from already existing data, and further serves as the most effective tool for interpretations of slopes geomorphology and hazards. These skills are used to design civil grading and earthwork plans.

DYLAN ANSPACH, EIT, LSI, PROJECT ENGINEER

Dylan joined Strata in 2021 as an intern while obtaining his Master of Science in Civil Engineering degree at the Oregon Institute of Technology he assists with AutoCAD, report writing, and GIS data processing. Upon graduation in June 2022, Dylan joined the team full-time and obtained a Minor in Land Surveying and his Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) certification. Dylan has experience in AutoCAD Civil 3d (including civil-stormwater), drone data processing/collection as well as multiple GIS platforms.

Dylan is primarily responsible for management and analysis of projects including foundation support, ground improvements, retaining structures, landslide repair, and slope stability. He conducts site inspections on projects ranging from subgrade compaction to landslide rehabilitation. He also conducts site reconnaissance and subsurface investigations, which include drone surveys to produce models used in various analysis, compaction, DCP, SPT, Micropile testing/installation, infiltration testing, and soil classification. Dylan also conducts lab analysis including: Atterberg Limits, Proctors, and gradations to assist in soil classification.
