Daniel Angos Villegas, PMP®

Project Manager • Chief Superintendent

For 15+ years I built highways, site pads and pavements in Ecuador, from the crusher to the final lift. Today I live in Central Florida and I am focused on heavy civil field work: earthwork, paving, concrete and soil-cement.

02Profile

A field leader who runs the work and the numbers.

I started on excavators and a rock crusher while finishing engineering school, then grew on site one level at a time: field and resident engineer, assistant superintendent, superintendent, chief superintendent and project manager, on self-perform public and private work.

Crews answer to their foremen; I answer for schedule, cost, pay estimates, quality and safety, from mobilization to closeout. Army service taught me safety discipline and how to decide under pressure.

04Featured project

Day 56 of 60. Four lanes. The road never closed.

Manuel Córdova Galarza Avenue, Quito • Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) • $5.4M

My role: Project Director and Chief Superintendent

Alligator cracking and failed trench repairs
01 Before • Alligator cracking and failed trench repairs
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) train
02 Reclaim • Full-depth reclamation (FDR) train
3-inch hot-mix asphalt
03 Surface • 3-inch hot-mix asphalt

Day 0 of 60

The problem

A four-lane urban avenue with no viable detour, and 6 to 9 inches of asphalt that was alligator-cracked, rutted and patched over failed trenches.

The method

Full-depth reclamation (FDR) with a reclaimer, asphalt emulsion and rejuvenating agent, building a stabilized base under a 3-inch hot-mix surface. Traffic kept moving with phased lane closures and contraflow.

The result

Finished early: provisional acceptance (akin to substantial completion) was requested with four days to spare, after absorbing about 8.8% added scope with no time extension.

Tremie concrete for bridge piles. Produced through floods and lahars.

Drilling by others

The problem

Bridge piles drilled through river gravel and boulders, below the water table, on a river hit by flash floods and volcanic lahars. The piles were poured under water, by tremie. Once a tremie pour starts, the concrete has to keep coming.

Our scope

Our concrete consortium produced and supplied the high-strength tremie concrete and ran its QA/QC. Another contractor drilled the piles. Mixer trucks discharged straight into the tremie hopper, and the concrete rose from the bottom of the shaft, pushing the water out over the top of the casing. Our consortiums' scope also covered abutments, decks, concrete structures and hydraulic protection.

The result

Concrete production kept running through floods, river currents and lahars. The project is complete and has been handed over.

05The edge

Most project managers buy aggregate. I’ve produced it.

I’ve run quarry, river and recycled material through tracked Kleemann and Powerscreen plants, with crews and fuel burn planned around plant output.
