Douglas A. Ramirez, PE
Structural Engineering
Mr. Ramirez has over nine years of experience in engineering, including the structural design
of a wide variety of projects, as well as field experience in performing assessments on hurricane
damaged structures. He has worked on a variety of projects which have been designed
with structural steel, cast-in-place concrete, precast and prestressed concrete, composites,
masonry, and wood. His clients have included industrial plants, Federal Department of Defense
(DoD), state agencies, school districts, and county governments. Notable projects include the
Port Manatee Security Building, Bridgeway Acres Redevelopment, Panama City Beach Aquatic
Center, MacDill Air Force Base AGE Facility, and numerous smaller renovations at local Publix
stores. He has also assisted with the renovation of the Land’s End Resort at Captiva Island,
Florida after the resort was heavily damaged during a hurricane.
As a structural engineer, Mr. Ramirez works with all disciplines to develop the optimum structural
design which meets the owner’s criteria. Once the structural systems are defined, he
heads the effort to develop all structural calculations, working drawings and specifications,
taking time to coordinate with other disciplines. Other responsibilities include performing site
visits and writing reports outlining solutions to structural problems and assessing structural
conditions at various sites.
Mr. Ramirez’s representative project experience includes:
A-E Services for Renovation and Expansion of Facilities at Lincoln ANG Base, Lincoln,
Nebraska. Under a $50 million, five-year IDIQ contract with the National Guard Bureau, Atkins
is providing Type A, B, and C architecture-engineering (A-E) services for the three-phase renovation
and expansion of two existing facilities at the Lincoln Air National Guard Base, in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Mr. Ramirez performed structural design services to resolve construction issues
related to blast mitigation for the project.
Bridgeway Acres Solid Waste Site Redevelopment Architectural Services, Clearwater,
Florida. In conjunction with the capital replacement project (CRP) at the Pinellas County
Utilities Department of Solid Waste Operations, this three-year contract provided for additional
enhancements to the Bridgeway Acres site, including the demolition, relocation, replacement,
or upgrade of existing facilities, and the addition of other needed facilities, all in multiple
phases. Phases two through five included work on a maintenance and storage operations
center, a household chemical collection center, a landfill contractor building, and a waste-toenergy
operations center for 36,076 square feet of additional space. Mr. Ramirez performed
structural design and construction administration services for phases two, three, four, and five,
for a total of nine new buildings located on the property.
Design-Build of Ramey Border Patrol Sector Headquarters Renovations, Aguadilla,
Puerto Rico. Mr. Ramirez performed the complete structural design for this design-build
project, which entailed the improvement of a new headquarters (HQ) building (identified
as Building 723) and an attached vehicle maintenance facility of approximately 25,000
gsf. The project also included the addition of 1,480 gsf to the existing Ramey Border Patrol
Headquarters (Building 722). Both buildings needed to be brought up to code.
Thomas Koritz Hospital Entrance Modification, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base,
Goldsboro, North Carolina. Mr. Ramirez performed the complete structural design for this
project for Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, which required the conversion of an existing
ambulance bay into the main entrance of a hospital clinic and the modification of the existing
parking lot to function as a drive-through passenger drop-off area with a covered canopy.
Restrooms were added in the new lobby and minor modifications to the existing building were
required to connect to existing corridors.
