Objective

Mechanical Engineering work as a Process, Applications, Power or Project Engineer for power generation projects of the type outlined below.

Responsibility

 

This is only a partial listing of responsibilities, projects and tasks performed. The work was usually performed as part of an engineering design team.

Responsible for mechanical project execution and overall engineering coordination for projects listed.

·         Led the mechanical team that was responsible for project execution,  integrity and meeting project goals.

·         Made sure that the other disciplines (civil, structural, electrical and instrumentation) had and followed the design basis for the projects and monitored their results to insure that the overall product satisfied project requirements.

Have done or made significant contributions to the project studies, estimates.

·         Assembled data which established project goals and contributed to the selection of the primary and auxiliary equipment such as boilers, turbines, surface condensers, cooling towers, ESP and Scrubber pollution control equipment, ash systems, boiler water treatment systems, fans, pumps, compressors, fuel systems, piping, hangers, ductwork,  etc.

·         Wrote outline specifications suitable for soliciting budgetary quotations and assisted the project estimator in the establishment of project costs. 

·         Solicitation of budgetary bids with sufficient data to define the project costs and system requirements.

·         Take-offs for estimating purposes.

·         Assisted in the establishment of project engineering and construction schedules.

·         Have produced some project estimates without the aid of project estimators.

Equipment and piping specifications. 

·         Have both assisted and written specifications for both the primary and auxiliary equipment  as defined above.

·         Have both assisted and written piping specifications which included , fitting, valve, gasket and hanger requirements.

·         Tank and ductwork design.

P & ID’s

·         Defined the basic processes in accordance with the project requirements and produced and/or  supervised the production of the P & IDs for all project systems such as steam, water, air, chemicals and fuels including FO (No. 2 and No. 6), natural gas, coal (pulverized and grate fired), biomass, black liquor, oils and soaps, propane, and spent solvents.

·         Reviewed the defined instrumentation loops and logic diagrams to insure project integrity. 

General arrangements

·         Established facility sizing and equipment locations.

·         Provided maintenance access and systems such as hoists, cranes, etc.

·         Established pipe and cable tray routings and allowances.

Plant surveys and audits

·         Energy audits for plant processes.  Usually in connection to boiler sizing activities.

·         Plant space and system surveys to establish new facility location and interconnections with existing plant.

·         System definition such as steam distribution, air distribution, hanger systems for such purposes as stress analysis and establishment of new equipment sizing.

Conceptual and detail mechanical design for the Steam and Power Generation projects listed.

·         Facility sizing and location for proposal and estimating purposes.

·         Production of or supervision of the drawings and documents necessary for construction for all mechanical systems.  (Please note that I do not personally make CAD drawings).  This includes boiler water treatment and mechanical or pneumatic ash systems but not waste water treatment systems or material handling systems.

·         Equipment specification, evaluation and selection.

·         Piping design (high pressure and utility) with hanger system design and selection and stress analysis.  Steam system cleaning requirements, plans and design.

·         Ductwork design and support design.

·         Fuel system design.

·         Tank and stack design.

·         Fuel system definition and integration to meet safety standards and environmental restrictions.

Construction activities. (This has not been a big part of my duties).

·         Field construction experience.

·         Assisted in preparation of construction bid specifications.

·         Monitored construction progress.

·         Reviewed installation for project design agreement.

·         Modification approval.

·         Start-up experience (no hands on experience).

Experience

 

1999-2002

 

Granite Professional & Technical Services                        Duluth, Ga.

Contract Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineering support to the Proposal and Project Engineering groups at General Electric’s Power Systems Division located in Norcross, Ga.  Involved in both simple cycle and combined cycle projects.  My primary function was a) establishment of BOP equipment costs for inclusion in proposal estimates, b) preparation of the mechanical portion of the proposal document, c) preparation of mechanical drawings for inclusion in the proposals. 

1998

Larson Engineering of Georgia                                           Norcross, Ga.

Mechanical Engineer

Participated in Mill Support Projects of varying nature and magnitude in support of mill engineering efforts for system definition and expansion.  Projects included a plant chiller system design, a boiler scrubber installation design, a soot blower system modification, P-T tables for aluminum pipe for design verification, and a plant field survey to generate plant steam system P & IDs.  I also generated new  Company piping specifications.

1988-1997

Sandwell Inc.                                                                         Atlanta, Ga.

Senior Process Engineer

Some projects to which I made a significant contribution:

·         100 MW Combined Cycle Cogeneration Facility for GE as Project Engineer that defined and designed the installation of a single Frame 6 CT and HRSG to supply steam for a commercial host plant.  It included all BOP systems and host plant interfaces.

·         Package Boiler generating 250,000 lb./hr. steam firing NG and No. 6 FO.  Included integration with the mill systems.

·         Black Liquor unloading station.  This facility received (by truck tanker), unloaded and pumped black liquor produced by other mills to plant storage and loaded green liquor in the trucks for return to those same plants.  Tanker cleaning was a part of the process.
