The expansion of the Panama Canal Locks is a construction and engineering marvel. The canal expansion utilized over 10,000 workers, more concrete than the Hoover Dam, and approximately 25 times the amount of steel used to erect the Eiffel Tower. Mr. Pansic is the deputy design engineer of the Design Consortium for the Third Set of Locks which makes up $3.2 billion of the $5 billion dollar Panama Canal Expansion. The Consortium is composed of MWH Global, Tetra-Tech and Iv Infra from the Netherlands. Over his 38-year career, Nick has contributed to the planning, design, and construction of major wet infrastructure programs on five continents. His areas of expertise include water resources development, dam design and rehabilitation, inland and maritime navigation, and shoreline protection and enhancement.
