MIHOLITS ENGINEERS (1984-2006) ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
MIHOLITS ENGINEERS (2006-2008)
EXPERT WITNESS CONSULTANT
In 1965, Dr. Miholits
commenced working on
high-profile engineering projects that had significant failure, accident and risk
potentials.
Examples of these projects include: civil and environmental
engineering; nuclear fuel cycle engineering; health & safety; hazardous waste; ionizing radiation;
et cetera.
In 1984, Dr. Miholits formed
Miholits Engineers and offered engineering consulting services
on the aforementioned high-profile projects.
Dr. Miholits' training and
experience on high-profile projects was unique. Why? Because these projects
also had a significantly high potential for failures and accidents and the
follow-on litigation phase. This created an opportunity for Dr. Miholits to
apply his high-profile project experience and problem solving skills to the
needs of the legal profession. For a further discussion on this topic,
please see the Daubert Criteria webpage by clicking on
►
The Daubert Criteria
With this background, in 2006, he redirected his
consulting business so he could capitalize on his
experience strengths, talents and abilities. This meant that he could assist the legal profession for those engineering
facilities that had failures or accidents within his area
of expertise. For these situations, he could assist the legal profession in
the following ways.
- Forensic research to
locate information related to engineering failures and accidents.
- Analyzing and
evaluating this information base and then developing the evidence base
so the attorneys can develop their legal arguments.
- Provide expert witness
services in the form of depositions and court testimony.
- Develop proactive
solutions to engineering and science problems.
Based on the aforementioned
business scope of the present Miholits Engineers Company, the
Curriculum Vitae which follows was
designed to present the education and work experience of Dr. Miholits that
is specifically applicable to the litigation support and expert witness consulting services now
being offered.
The three services
presently offered are listed below. The pre-2006 services that formed the
basis for his credentials to do litigation support and expert witness
consulting are contained in
Sections 4 through 7 of this web-page.
-
Expert Witness
Consultant:
this is a new consulting subject area. It came into being because
some engineering consulting work can develop into a litigation risk.
Therefore, he provides assistance to the legal community. The
engineering areas are the same as those presented in the
High-Profile Projects sections.
-
Proactive Engineering Consultant:
this existing consulting subject area was restructured so the total
emphasis of his Proactive Engineering Consulting work is now on engineering projects
with a litigation risk,
(e.g., nuclear fuel cycle, civil engineering, etc.). These projects have the potential
to generate legal problems. These engineering projects have been defined as one which has the potential to create environmental,
radiation, nuclear risks, medical, health and safety problems. This in turn,
can cause social, political, regulatory and legal issues to develop.
-
Engineering and Science Literature Search Consultant: this is a new consulting subject
area. It came into being because Dr. Miholits already does
literature searches for consulting subject areas 1 and 2. It
follows then that he should provide both cursory and comprehensive
engineering and scientific searches. Please note: Dr. Miholits also
offers services in the non-technical area to his engineering and
science Clients as a courtesy (e.g., college data, sports, etc).
This expansion in work scope permits him to be
more effective as a consultant, as well as allow him to expand his consulting subject areas.
In this document, he describes his
qualifications to do this work. But most importantly, he describes: (1) the
education and broad experience he brings to these consulting projects; and
(2) the special skills and techniques he brings to literature search and
research projects. This is discussed in more detail in other sections of
this website. |
|
How did Dr. Miholits get started dealing with engineering projects with
litigation risks?
-
He has been in the health-related specialty of sanitary and
environmental engineering since his first university Co-op job in 1954 (Northwestern
University and the City of Chicago).
-
Then in 1963, he added the issues related to the nuclear field, as he used
radioisotopes in his Ph.D. research work at the University of Texas at
Austin. Because of this auspicious career start, his ability to deal with
these kinds of projects from a well-informed basis increased quite-a-bit
over the past half century.
-
Because he was engaged in a health-related specialty, he received a
commission in the U.S. Public Health Service (inactive reserve) in 1964
and attained the rank of Commander (O-5).
-
He entered the nuclear area in 1975 while at the Bechtel
Corporation.
-
He continued to work in engineering areas with a litigation risk potential from 1954
and continued through the next half-century.
-
Engineering projects with a litigation risk potential are defined as: (1) nuclear fuel cycle
projects (e.g., uranium enrichment, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants,
decontamination of nuclear power plants, nuclear waste repositories,
nuclear waste transport, spent fuel storage, etc.); (2) civil engineering projects
(e.g., construction of chemical refiners, sanitary waste facilities,
landfill sites, etc.); and (3) et cetera. All of these and others can create environmental health and
safety problems, etc.
-
These problem areas are defined as: areas they raise
controversial issues. These issues may be social, political,
environmental, health and safety, esthetic, legal, violation of
regulations, etc. He formally lists the credible experience period as
1965-2008.
|

Summary:
this summary describes how Dr.
Miholits got introduced or involved with high-profile engineering projects
which in-turn have a significantly high litigation risk potential. These
projects are presented below in Sections 4 and 5 This lead-in section
also describes the specific skills, talents and abilities which Dr. Miholits
possesses which in turn allows him to be effective in these high-profile
project areas. |

SECTION 5
EARLY HIGH-PROFILE PROJECT EXPERIENCE PLUS
ENGINEERING-CONSTRUCTION AND UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE (1965-1984)
The project experiences
listed below on high-profile engineering projects is a partial list of the technical work Dr. Miholits performed
on engineering
projects with a significant litigation risk potential.
Dr. Miholits began his literature search
activities in earnest in 1963 when he started his dissertation research.
This continued while he was a university faculty member from 1965 to 1970
where he taught in the civil, sanitary and radiological health engineering
areas. And these literature search activities have continued to date.
From 1970 to 1973, he was a civil/sanitary
engineer with Kaiser Engineers. From 1973 to 1984 he was with the Bechtel
Corporation where he divided his time between three major subject areas: (1)
civil engineering projects; (2) nuclear fuel cycle engineering projects; and
(3) environmental and regulatory compliance work for the civil and nuclear
fuel cycle projects. A partial list of representative projects in these two
areas include:

SECTION 7
UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY REPORTS
On the order of one-hundred unpublished proprietary
reports, papers, proposals and other documents from 1970 to date while I
was with Kaiser Engineers (1970-73), Bechtel Corporation (1973-85) and
Miholits Engineers (1985-2006). The approximate title of each report and a summary
description of the most significant elements contained in each of these
reports is presented in a detailed resume which is not included.
As such, these unpublished proprietary reports
are listed by subject areas for Kaiser Engineers, Bechtel Corporation
and Miholits Engineers, respectively.
It should be noted that because of the
presentation technique used, the same report may be listed under two or
more skill areas if the report contains material applicable to more than
one skill area. It is my belief that this form of duplication of
material can only add to the clarity of the presentation, rather than
vice versa. I say this because one can then clearly see what a person
has done in each work skill area rather than being faced with
determining whether or not one's experience is applicable to other
subject areas.
Additionally, it should be noted that each report also describes a
job accomplishment in 41 different environmental engineering skill
areas.
Additionally, it should be noted that an
unpublished proprietary Kaiser, Bechtel or Miholits report does not have
to be a 100-200 page document. Rather, it will be whatever length, style
or what-have-you that was deemed necessary by the Client to convey the desired message
and/or documentation in a written form.

(1) detailed geological information was not available at this
stage; and (2) the design was to deal with the size and layout
of the repository from the standpoint of storage requirements,
heat load requirements, vehicle movement and related design
factors.
4. Hazardous, nuclear and
mixed-waste management work; RI/FS work; remediation designs;
technology evaluations and special process designs; and process
designs to minimize the amount of waste.

10. Auditing activities on nuclear
projects to ensure compliance with environmental health and safety
standards.
Audit reports, documents, and/or notes
associated with my work were generated while I served in the
role of technical manager and/or project engineer. Here, my
responsibility was to control the quality of work through
various auditing procedures that included, but was not limited
to developing the appropriate documents in the following areas:
