  1. Elisha Ezersky Gas Distribution Engineer | PG&E B.S. Civil & Environmental Engineering | UC Berkeley

  2. Outline • Personal Introduction • Starting at UCLA • Transferring to UC Berkeley • Classes • Extracurriculars • Life after college

  3. About Me • Born & raised in the Bay Area • Applied to various ivy leagues, MIT, CalTech, UC Davis, UCLA and UC San Diego • Started at UCLA in Fall 2006 • Began transfer process to UC Berkeley in November 2006 • Started at UC Berkeley in Summer 2007 • Graduated with a B.S. in Civil & Environmental Engineering in 2010 • Worked at the Bay Area Air Quality Management District • Currently working for Pacific Gas & Electric

  4. Classes UCLA 2006-2007 School Year - Freshman

  5. Classes UC Berkeley 2007-2008 School Year - Sophomore

  6. Classes UC Berkeley 2008-2009 School Year - Junior

  7. Classes UC Berkeley 2009-2010 School Year - Senior

  8. Extracurriculars Civil & Environmental Engineering Honor Society Berkeley requirements: > 3.2 GPA and in top third of class Four pillars Scholarship (study hall, tutoring) Practicality (career fair, professional development) Sociability (hot pot & karaoke night, Fenton’s , game night) Character (Save the Bay, Rebuilding Together) For more information: http://xe.berkeley.edu/ http://www.chi-epsilon.org/ Chi Epsilon

  9. Extracurriculars National American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Competition Four judged categories Technical Paper Presentation Final Product Races Regional (MidPac) and National Conferences Also includes Steel Bridge, Water Treatment, Geo-Challenge, and Transportation For more information: http://canoe.berkeley.edu/ Concrete Canoe

  10. Extracurriculars Won 2nd place at Nationals in Montréal Concrete Canoe – 2008 VoCal

  11. Extracurriculars Won 1st at Nationals in Alabama Concrete Canoe – 2009 Bear Area

  12. Extracurriculars Presentation: YouTube Concrete Canoe – 2009 Bear Area

  13. Extracurriculars First canoe that did not use Portland cement in the structural mix Geopolymer concrete Concrete Canoe – 2010 Ex CalceLiberatus

  14. Extracurriculars Unfortunately… Concrete Canoe – 2010 Ex CalceLiberatus

  15. Extracurriculars What we learned: The lack of Portland cement wasn’t the only factor Curing time, scrim placement, etc. affected durability Concrete Canoe – 2010 Ex CalceLiberatus

  16. Bay Area Air Quality Management District • Local government agency • Air Quality Engineer • Evaluated industrial sources and created permit conditions to ensure regulatory compliance • Conducted Health Risk Screen Assessments with air quality modeling program

  17. Pacific Gas & Electric • Entry Engineer program • San Francisco Distribution Planning Rotation • Pipeline Engineering Rotation • Distribution Control Center Rotation • Started working as a Gas Distribution Planning Engineer last June

  18. Pacific Gas & Electric How do we get gas to our customers? Backbone transmission Local transmission Local distribution Service lines Distribution is separated by divisions and each division has their own hydraulically independent systems Systems have minimum and maximum design pressures Overview

  19. Pacific Gas & Electric Mission Division Five independent high pressure systems: • Fremont/Hayward HP • Pleasanton/Livermore HP • San Ramon/Dublin HP • South Fremont HP • Sunol HP

  20. Pacific Gas & Electric SynerGEE Hydraulic modeling software that takes into account pipe material, diameter, length, etc. and uses historical load data to predict pipeline pressures Emergency Operations In case of a leak, dig in, etc., we use SynerGEE to model whether a pipe can be cut off or needs a bypass Castro Valley Example Hydraulic Modeling

  21. Pacific Gas & Electric Castro Valley Leak Leak found
