Project Associate 1
Experienced, at various levels of responsibility, in the engineering, design, and management of major steam-electric generating stations, substations, and transmission lines.
Responsible for the coordination of the structural analysis and design of power plants. Ensuring that all analysis and design is performed in compliance with project design criteria, structural procedures, project specifications, and the applicable industry codes and standards.
Preparation of design calculations, review of structural project specifications, preparation of structural design criteria, and technical interfacing with clients, vendors, and other company disciplines.
Established the basic structural framing system for the plant, selected the foundation system after reviewing the geotechnical report, and prepared detailed design criteria that were used to design the individual components of the plant's structural system.
Established the scope of work for contracts, technical requirements for materials, budgets and schedules for completion of the work. Proficient in the use of various engineering and management computer programs.
Supervised and coordinated project structural design activities of project groups consisting of structural engineers, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, and architects within the company.
Responsible for obtaining bids, conducting bid evaluations, and making purchase recommendations.
Worked on over 30 fossil-fueled units, including those fueled by lignite, western coal, coal, and gas and oil. I have prepared and coordinated the design of the structural steel framing, foundations, and flue gas ducts for the main power block and related outlying structures on many conventional and co-generation units. In addition to original designs for portions of the entire plant, Designed and coordinated plant performance upgrade projects, which included new structural designs for plant buildings, flue gas de-sulfurization (FGD) systems, evaluation of existing design for low NOx retrofit, and the installations of selective catalytic reactors (SCR) and activated carbon injection (ACI) systems.

I have worked on the original design of both BWR and PWR nuclear-fueled units (1975 through 1983) where I was responsible for the coordination of departmental, client, and contractor interface. I coordinated the structural analysis of piping subsystems for static and dynamic loading conditions; structural steel analysis and design verification of mechanical and electrical components such as heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts, HVAC duct supports, HVAC plenums, cable tray supports, auxiliary steel, and related connections, attachments, and weldments.
