      • Sep 2018 - Present

      I designed structures and foundations. Primarily for a Cryogenic Plant in Nigeria, Africa. I designed a pipe rack that was between 35ft to 50ft tall, carried 4 tiers of pipe and was hundreds of feet long. I also designed all of the equipment foundations. The typical foundation was either a slab or a spread footer, but pilings and piers were also used. Currently, my structural design work for the project is almost finished and I am on standby. I am very familiar with Bentley's programs, STAAD for structures, Foundation for foundations and RAM for connections.

    • Lead Structural Engineer
      • Jan 2006 - Feb 2016

      Initially hired to manage structural design efforts on oil and gas industry projects, I played a key role on a BASF chemical plant project, including providing new structural platforms and foundations for tanks, upgrading truck dock, analyzing existing truss capacities, and extending tank farm building to accommodate additional tanks.In 2009, I rejoined the firm after a brief hiatus to lead a team of structural engineers and AutoCAD designers in providing project managers with critical information to ensure accurate project pricing and profitability. I played a key role in project success by prioritizing workflow, allocating design drawing work to AutoCAD designers, and collaborating to ensure project deliverables were completed accurately and on time.KEY CONTRIBUTIONS:♦ Identified and resolved pipe support problems overlooked by engineering staff. Avoided project delays and additional customer outage time.♦ Provided sealed design calculations and drawings for building department and engineering review.

    • Civil Structural Engineer
      • 1979 - 2002

      ♦ 2000 to 2002: Decommissioning of the Waltz Mill Nuclear Reactor in Pennsylvania.♦ 1998 to 2000: Decommissioning of the Saint Vrain Nuclear Power Plant. I was in charge of removing the contaminated concrete in this plant, which required many hours of concrete cutting with diamond wire saws and complicated rigging and lifting schemes to remove and transport the concrete to disposal.♦ 1993 to 1998: Construction of Boeing’s Skin and Spar Facility near Tacoma, Washington. I was the Lead Civil and Structural Engineer on a massive plant where we placed well over 100,000 cubic yards of concrete. I was the subcontract administrator for the Structural Steel Contractor.♦ 1991 to 1993: Tunnel excavation and lining for the City of Milwaukee North Shore Interceptor Project. Working underground in the tunnels during the concrete lining phase, I was tasked with the concrete delivery system for a tunnel 3 miles long and 300 feet below grade.♦ 1989 to 1991: Replacement of Nuclear Steam Generator at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant. I was tasked with removing the concrete around the existing generators. I was involved in the rigging of 50 to 80 ton generators. Once the new generators were installed, I was charged with replacing the concrete that was removed.♦ 1987 to 1989: Remediation of a Manhattan Project Site used for processing uranium in Pennsylvania. I was a Vicinity Property Engineer. The residents had taken contaminated material from the site for home construction. We removed the contaminated material and rebuilt the structure(s).♦ 1984 to 1987: Coal Fire Power Plant Construction for a Texas Utility.
