Instructors
WEST Consultants, Inc. (WEST) is an internationally recognized water resources engineering consulting firm with offices in multiple western states. WEST has extensive instructional experience teaching engineering concepts, in particular providing training on how to use programs produced by the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Current classes offered by multiple WEST instructors include HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS Basic (Steady Flow), HEC-RAS Advanced (focus on unsteady flow), Dambreak Analysis using HEC-RAS, and Sediment Transport Modeling using HEC-RAS. These courses have been presented on behalf of a wide variety of clients including ASCE Continuing Education, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Caltrans, ADOT and other state departments of transportation, universities, flood control agencies, floodplain management associations, and private engineering companies. Martin J Teal, P.E., P.H., D. WRE Marty Teal has worked with hydraulic models for more than 20 years and currently serves as a Vice President with WEST Consultants. He is an experienced lecturer for the steady, unsteady, dam breach, and sediment transport HEC-RAS modeling classes. Marty has been with WEST Consultants for the past 16 years where he has dealt principally with complex hydraulic, hydrologic, and sedimentation problems. He has used computational models, such as HEC-RAS, as a tool to deal with these problems for clients in both the public and private sectors throughout the United States and internationally. Currently, Marty is on the Board of Directors of the Floodplain Managers Association of California and a member of the Governors Alluvial Fan Task Force (in California). Dragoslav Stefanovic, Ph.D., P.E. Dragi has over 15 years engineering and research experience in hydraulics, systems analysis of rivers and watersheds, river mechanics, environmental fluid mechanics and sediment transport modeling. He has applied the HEC-6 and HEC-6T sediment transport models to a number of projects including Oak Glen Creek Detention Basins in the City of Yucaipa, California to assess the trapping efficiency of sediment basins; the Murrieta Creek Flood Control and Environmental Restoration Project in Temecula, California, conducting hydraulic and sedimentation analyses for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District; Cyrus Wash near Bakersfield, California; and Santa Gertrudis Creek and Long Valley Wash near Temecula, California; and Centennial Wash in Arizona.
