Completion Date (actual or estimated) December 08 E. Estimated Cost, Entire Project $180 million Work for which firm was/is responsible $150 million Mr. Barry was the Principal-In-Charge and design team Project Manager working closely with a team comprised of Westin Solutions, Inc of West Chester, Pennsylvania, the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) offices in New Orleans, Louisiana and Omaha, Nebraska and several New Orleans contractors to design and construct four vertical pump intake facilities. The facilities were to have a combined pumping capacity of between 7,300 and 8,300 cfs (4,720 and 5,360 MGD) and be operational before the onset of the 2007 hurricane season. Because of the massive quantities of water to be pumped and other critical site driven factors, the team understood that pump cavitation and intake vortexing would be serious issues if the intakes were not designed properly. To address these potential issues, ERDC constructed a series of scale models that of the intakes to determine which intake configurations that would prevent pump cavitation and intake vortexing. GS&P incorporated ERDC modeling defined suggestions into the intake designs and the intakes were constructed and fully operational within the allotted six month design/construction time frame.  Project cost:$180 million.   The First Pump - 173,500 gallons per minute, 19 Installed Last Pump, Commissioned On Schedule London Avenue Canal Gate Structure Discovery Park of America http://www.discoveryparkofamerica.com/ Discovery Park of America, Union City, Tennessee A.

Completion Date (actual or estimated) April, 2010 E. Estimated Cost, Entire Project $100 million Work for which firm was/is responsible $4 million An astonishing and wonderful thing is happening in the quiet, rural corner of northwest Tennessee. Discovery Park of America, a $100 million educational venue for children and adults is currently under construction in Union City, Tennessee. The Park will enable visitors to understand and celebrate the culture, spirit and accomplishments of the human race…past, present and future. The architect's rendering The centerpiece of the Park will be Discovery Center, a world-class museum with an intriguing design that signals the stimulating learning experience that waits inside. Designed by world-renowned architect, Douglas Cardinal, the free-flowing contemporary design will be compelling as it towers more than 100’ above the landscape. Exhibits inside Discovery Park will educate children and adults about many current and historical aspects of the human race as well as provide a glimpse into the future. Themed exhibits are being planned for natural history, regional history including nearby Reelfoot Lake, Native Americans, wildlife, space/science/technology/medicine, art, alternative energy and a children’s exploration area. Discovery Center will also contain the Grand Hall, a conference and convention facility for meetings, banquets, performances and social events. The facility will feature multi-purpose space with movable walls for flexible meeting spaces that can accommodate small or large groups up to approximately one thousand people. Discovery Park: North Elevation Discovery Park: South Elevation Similar learning and stimulation will occur outside Discovery Center with additional buildings dedicated to transportation and military exhibits. The 50-acre site will also feature botanical gardens, an arboretum, conservatory, working farm plots and a pioneer village. Discovery Park of America has become a cooperative endeavor with broad participation by the citizens of Union City and Obion and surrounding counties. Local and state government is also taking an active role in the development. The state of Tennessee is considering the construction of a Welcome/Tourism Center on the property when I-69 is built adjacent to the west side of the property.

Project Owner's Name and Address and Project Manager's Name and Phone Number U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District Nashville, Tennessee Joe Morrison 615.736.2040 D. Completion Date (actual or estimated) June 2003 E. Estimated Cost (in thousands) Entire Project $2,500 Work for which Team was/is responsible $2,500 U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, Metro Center Levee Improvements - Mr. Barry was selected as Project Manager for the design and production of Construction Drawings and Specifications for raising the flood protection elevations of Metro Center Levee while incorporating a bikeway, trailhead and shade structures, interpretive opportunities and applications of local art. After the completion and approval of conceptual studies, which included an art and architectural design charrette, final design of the flood improvements was initiated. The flood protection elevations of Metro Center Levee, 3 miles in length, were raised to the estimated 500 year flood, plus superiority, by a combination of additional compacted fill and retaining structures. Included in the modifications were raising the overtopping elevations of the gatewell for the dry side of the levee and the addition of a 10' x 10' sluice gate. All modifications to the levee were made to USACE standards. Additional responsibilities included the surveying of properties for the identification of additional land, temporary and permanent access easements, and construction easements. Legal descriptions and exhibits were provided for all properties involved. Pinhook Creek Improvements, Huntsville, Alabama A.

Completion Date (actual or estimated) May 2004 E. Estimated Cost (in thousands) Entire Project $20,000 Work for which Team was/is responsible $20,000 U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, Pinhook Creek Channel Improvements - Mr. Barry was was selected as Project Manager for the design and production of Schematic Plans for channel improvements to Pinhook Creek from Governors Drive to north of Holmes Avenue, approximately 0.8 miles, in Huntsville, Alabama. The Project will add approximately 40’ of width to the existing channel cross-section and 3:1 side slopes. This additional width will reduce the frequency with which Pinhook Creek floodwaters get out of bank and will reduce the floodplain area for the 100-year flood. This reduction in flood frequency and area is intended to enhance property values in this central business district area and to encourage economic development. Additionally the design combines the channel improvements with a bikeway, greenway, promenade and plaza that provide for public use and enjoyment of the stream from both above and within. Also incorporated into the design are weirs and pools, waterfalls, low water crossings, a fountain and an amphitheater. Pedestrian connections have been developed to the Big Springs Park and future development on the west side of the creek as well as extensions both north and south to future trail systems. The various paved public routes and spaces around and within the channel have been enhanced with flood tolerant plantings which require minimal maintenance. The presence of two power substations and an industrial railroad bridge are integrated into the design as features rather than trying to camouflage them. This innovation is conservative in the best sense in that it attempts to utilize those intrusive elements as visually exciting features with paint and lighting that focuses attention on them. Additional responsibilities included the structural design of modifications to two bridges by adding one or more spans to accommodate the new channel width, the design of a replacement structure for the railroad bridge, the design of a new street crossing, the design of a new bridge providing access to the Von Braun Center, the design of eight pedestrian bridges and the demolition of three existing bridges. Gresham Smith and Partners is also responsible the design for the relocation of utilities, and for the identification of additional lands, buildings, temporary and permanent access easements, and construction easements required for this project.
