My title still the same but we are now a sub branch of DOD which in-turn is a sub branch of Homeland (I’m not sure why it changed :gotme:) I have aquired my CWI and CCPM cert’s. My upcoming project for the the next 5 years is the Tappen Zee Bridge. The state will be paying out 3.1 Billion for this job but I bet it will increase to 4 billion once the job is over. (NOTE: this bridge brings in about $600,000,000.00 per year in tolls +/-…Yes 600 Million) > [@Shifty](#): > > David B. > Project/Ballistics Engineer > Sub branch of Homeland Security > > I redesign bridges using composite armor material. Our ballistic range can test armor solutions against threats from small arms fire up to high velocity 20 mm fragment simulating projectiles (FSP). We also have off-site facilities which can test numerous weapons such as IED’s, EFP’s and other terrorist grade explosives, and in-house capabilities to build and model those same explosives. We have finish the Bronx-Whitestone, Queensboro, Verrazano & Throgs Neck Bridges. I am working on the RFK and Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. ---
