Welcome Douglas Kirkpatrick, PE

Exeltech is excited to welcome Douglas Kirkpatrick, PE, as a Senior Project Manager in the firm’s Engineering Services/Bridges - Structures group in Beaverton, Oregon. Douglas will focus on bridge and transportation projects in Oregon and provide project management, owner’s representative, and engineering services to Exeltech’s public agency clients. Douglas brings 30 years of bridge design experience as a team leader and engineer on high-profile public infrastructure projects in the western United States, including the Oregon Transportation Initiative Act III (OTIA III) Statewide Bridge Delivery Program to repair and/or replace 365 bridges; the I-15 Design-Build project, a $1.59 billion highway contract that reconstructed 16 miles of Interstate 15 through the Salt Lake City metropolitan area in time for the 2002 Winter Olympics; and numerous Oregon Department of Transportation and local agency bridge projects throughout the I-5 and I-205 corridors.

Earlier in his career, Douglas was on the engineering design team that conducted initial seismic vulnerability assessments of City of Seattle bridges during Phase 2 of the Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program, including the Ballard, University, and Fremont Bridges. Coming full circle, Douglas provides valuable insight to Exeltech’s engineering team as retrofit design of vulnerable bridges in Oregon and Washington continues.
