PROJECTS AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Shelley Kuan is a water resources engineer with 10 years of design experience in urban stormwater management (SWM), highway drainage, river engineering, flow monitoring and site plans.

Hydrology and Hydraulics
Applied computer models for flood mapping, river hydraulics and hydrology, channel, storm sewer outfall and culvert hydraulics. Prepared design reports for approval agencies such as Conservation Authorities, MNR, MOEE & MTO and Municipalities:

Stormwater Management and Sewer Design
Retrofit of South Pond in Markham to provide quality control for existing and planned development. Designed detention pond, on-site storage, catch basin inlet control and dual drainage system using both computer modelling and conventional manual approaches:

On Site Detention Analysis
Designed parking lot and roof storage, overland flow paths and storm sewers and outlets for over 30 site drainage plans using both computer modelling and conventional manual approaches:

Highway Drainage
Rapid hydraulic design of the Lawrence Avenue culvert crossing of Wilket Creek to enable emergency repair by City of Toronto and of 3 bridge openings including the Birchmount Extension for Markham. Analysis and right-sizing of over 50 culvert crossings, median drainage optimization and impact of 16 Mile Ck. bridge piers for West Extension of HWY 407. Analysis of over 70 culverts for HWY 5 in Halton for MTO.

Municipal Water Supply, Waste Water and Water Hammer
Developed a land use database and model for generating and forecasting water demand for water distribution analysis (FLOWGEN). Performed regional flood and drought frequency analysis for water supply systems. Hydraulic analyses of sewage and water treatment plants, pumping stations, forcemains and reservoirs:

• Woodward Waste Water Treatment Plant, Hamilton (headworks expansion and review).
• City-wide Waterhammer analysis of the Thunder Bay Water Distribution System.
• Tri-city Water Distribution and Supply Study, Waterloo.
• Downsview Base and Secondary Plan Area - Water Supply System for Canada Lands
• Al Masane Reservoir, surface water supply, Saudi Arabia
• Humber Treatment Plant WAS and Co-generation Studies, Toronto
• Britannia/Barrhaven Pumping Station, Ottawa-Carleton
• Pickering/Ajax Water Supply and High Lift Pumping Station, Durham
• Orangeville Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain, Orangeville
• Shekak Hydro Power, Ontario
• Cambridge Well Pumping Water System, Cambridge
• Western Beaches Tunnel, Toronto (pre-design).

MODELLING EXPERTISE

Computer Modelling:
Detailed expertise with several computer models such as HEC-RAS, OTTHYMO (SWMHYMO), OTTSWMM-EXTRAN, FESWMS-2DH (2 dimensional model), MOBED, WATERNET, WATERWORKS, EPANET and HAMMER.

Physical Modelling:
Models (scale) of chlorine mixing for two reservoirs.
