Engineers Without Borders

Las Pilitas project in El Salvador

May Lunch Meeting

Last Notice

Date & Time:  Thursday, 5/16/13 - 11:30am to 1:00pm

Presentation:
This presentation will be on the Central Ohio chapter of Engineers Without Borders USA and the Las Pilitas project in El Salvador.  The project consists of a street and drainage system for an isolated residential area at the edge of the small town of San Pedro Puxtla.  The street, which is now nearly complete, connects the Las Pilitas neighborhood to the rest of the town, eliminates unhealthful exposure to contaminated drainage, and allows safer access to the residences in the rainy season.  Engineering challenges on the project included routing of floodwater, disposal of large boulders, limited space and difficult access.  Completion was further complicated by local perceptions, language, politics, and funding.  The project has received partial funding from both the Central Ohio Section and ASCE national.

Speaker:
Amanda Engle, PE manages design projects at the Columbus office of E. L. Robinson Engineers, primarily in the area of highway bridge design, and is a graduate of the Ohio State University.  Amanda is the founder and past president of the Central Ohio Chapter of Engineers Without Borders, and project lead for the municipal services project in San Pedro Puxtla, El Salvador, a project that moved into the major construction phase in March of 2012.  She also helped establish and mentor the OSU EWB Chapter and accompanied the OSU students<http://www.elrobinsonengineering.com/news/amanda-engle-pe-receives-asce-outstanding-civil-engineer-year-central-ohio-award> on several implementation trips to carry out their portion of the El Salvador project over the past several years.

She was selected for the Outstanding Civil Engineer Award by the Central Ohio Section of ASCE in 2012.
