Hayward Baker Inc. (HB) is pleased to announce that retired vice president Joseph Welsh is a 2014 recipient of the prestigious Outstanding Projects and Leaders (OPAL) Award. The OPAL Award, established in 1999 by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), recognizes Welsh’s lifetime accomplishments of noteworthy advancements in construction, and the many contributions he provided the civil engineering industry over the past 50 years. He received the award on March 20, 2014 at the OPAL Gala, a black-tie event held annually in the Washington, D.C. area.
During his tenure with HB from 1978 to 1999, Welsh oversaw more than 1,600 projects focusing on ground modification, many of which required the development of state-of-the-art solutions and techniques to solve challenges in the geotechnical field. He specialized in chemical, slurry, and compaction grouting along with dynamic deep compaction, slurry wall trenches, tieback and tiedown anchors, and underpinning.
Several of these developments included combinations of techniques, such as at a planned coal-fired generating plant requiring the densification of 55 feet of loose granular soil over limestone in 1982 in Jacksonville, Florida. Dynamic deep compaction densified the upper zone and compaction grout densified and filled the voids within the lower zone.
