Experience Description:
Mr. Adams joined OJD in November 2001. Prior to joining the firm, he had worked as a design engineer with firms in Dallas and Amarillo, working on a wide variety of municipal engineering projects. These include paving, storm sewer, water transmission and distribution, sanitary sewer and lift station design, along with project inspection.
At OJD Michael has continued to develop his design skills in a variety of project types. He has been project engineer for many subdivisions in Amarillo, Canyon, Wolfforth, Lubbock and Midland. Michael is also the City Engineer for many communities in the South Plains including the City of Wolfforth. Michael is the project lead on the City of Wolfforth Electro Dialysis Reversal (EDR) water treatment plant. This
project is currently being commissioned and will be online in early 2017. EDR plants are currently in the design phase for the City of Morton and the City of Quitaque. Michael is also the project lead on a high end resort and golf development on Cat Island, Bahamas. This project includes infrastructure design and water and wastewater treatment design.
Another area of expertise is in rail design. Michael has been the lead design engineer for the Centerport rail project in Amarillo. Other projects include the Summerfield Facility and the Port of Galveston expansion for Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM).
One of Michael’s particular interest and skills is the computer modeling of water distribution systems. His knowledge of coordinate geometry, gained via his experience as a survey party chief, has also been especially valuable in street and subdivision design.
