Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, Expansion, Excavation Shoring, Palo Alto, CA
The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) constructed a 520,000 square foot, 6-story expansion hospital at Stanford University. Located directly next to the existing, operating LPCH facility and bounded on all sides by existing buildings, live utilities, and busy campus streets, the project required a complex shored excavation up to 40 feet deep to facilitate construction of
the hospital’s two basement levels. Degenkolb Engineers was retained by DPR Construction to provide scoping documents for the entire shoring system and to carry all OSHPD-jurisdiction shoring through 100% design, OSHPD permitting, and construction administration.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
My father was a construction superintendent, so I was introduced to the dynamics of a construction site at an early age. I was drawn to the creation of structures with a complex series of simple movements and elements. Upon entering UCSD, the description of the Structural Engineering program had me hooked – the ability to affect seemingly limitless structures. When I first got my PE license, I stamped a blank sheet of paper and faxed it to my dad at his job trailer – I think it was a proud moment for both of us.
Little known fact
My wife is a litigation attorney. When asked how many times I’ve been deposed, the official answer is based on my expert witness work, but the unofficial answer is a lot more!
Question of the Day
What’s your favorite way to get to work?
Bicycle – day or night, rain or shine. It’s a wonderful way to experience the city and enjoy a bit of exercise to start and end the day.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
Buildings are in the Nelson blood. My Dad has enjoyed a very successful career as a Civil Engineer and my Grandfather the same as a homebuilder and professional carpenter. Seeing both of them finding enjoyment in their careers while also making a daily impact on cities and communities sealed the deal for me.
Little Known Fact
I own and play a Keytar.
Question of the Day
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I absolutely love to travel abroad and I also love to write about those travels, but neither happen nearly as much as I would like. If “overseas self-publishing amateur travel writer” could be considered a hobby, that would be my answer.
