RAYMOND W. HENN

Principal

 

Summary of Experience

 

Mr. Henn has more than 36 years of heavy and underground construction experience with a concentration in shafts and tunneling, water and wastewater, transportation and hydroelectric projects.  During his career, Mr. Henn has held positions from field engineer through superintendent to construction manager on both direct-hire construction, and construction management assignments.  The projects have ranged in value from $2M to $900M.  He has a strong background in general civil construction, mass and specialty concrete placement, deep foundations, shaft and tunnel excavation and lining, and marine construction.  Mr. Henn's tunneling experience includes conventional drill and blast, tunnel boring machine, roadheader, and sequential excavation methods in hard rock, mixed-face, and soft-ground conditions. He has experience with deep shaft and large chamber excavations, as well as pressure tunnels. He has worked with cast-in-place and precast concrete, shotcrete, and pipe tunnel lining systems. His foundations background consists of mass excavations, geotechnical and structural grouting, sheet piling, construction dewatering, post tension anchors, rock bolting, soldier pile and lagging, structural slurry wall construction, drilled shafts, and soil nailing.

 

Mr. Henn is currently a Principal at Lyman Henn, Inc.  Mr. Henn is responsible for tunnel and underground engineering, and construction management services.  He also provides construction consulting services in areas of construction methods and equipment evaluation, cost and scheduling, value engineering, constructability and claims avoidance reviews, performing claim evaluations and negotiations, and litigation support.  He has also conducted tunnel condition surveys.  Additionally, Mr. Henn has served on 18 Dispute Review Boards and as an Arbitrator on construction cases.  Mr. Henn is past President of the American Underground Construction Association and recipient of the ASCE’s 2002 Roebling Award in Construction Engineering.
