* At Fayette Engineering Company, Inc., I managed numerous building construction projects, requiring state approval by the PA Department of Labor and Industry and compliance to BOCA and CABO standards, Federal ADA regulations, and N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Code.
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
* Design and layout of building wiring and electrical service drawings.
* Created wiring diagrams and logic schematics for high temperature, industrial solar energy equipment installations manufactured by Solar Kinetics, Inc.
* Created original \'camera ready\' artwork for the manufacture of P.C. Boards used in solar equipment tracking devices.
PIPING, PLUMBING AND HVAC
* Prepared schematic drawings for the manufacture of hydraulic, pneumatic, and steam heating piping systems.
* Prepared HVAC, and plumbing system drawings for many large and small commercial building construction projects.
CIVIL ENGINEERING
* Prepared property maps for open pit mining as well as topographical maps and cut and fill calculations for community construction projects.
* Assisted in engineering of municipal projects involving pipeline, water treatment and sewage plant construction, bridge inspection and rehabilitation, sidewalk and street pavement replacement, and survey mapping.
MECHANICAL DRAFTING AND DESIGN
