and engineering management for fossil-fueled power stations, retrofit of fossilfueled power stations

for pollution control systems, nuclear power plant structures, cogeneration plants, industrial facilities,

water and wastewater treatment plants, and transportation structures. Extensive experience

leading/providing engineering for structural steel, ductwork, and foundations for major power plant

and industrial projects. Experience includes analysis and design for both static and dynamic loads.

EXPERIENCE

2000 - Present Senior Supervising Structural Engineer, WorleyParsons, Reading, Pennsylvania

Develop estimates, establish design criteria, coordinate design activities, and perform special

engineering tasks for structural engineering services on fossil-fueled power stations including flue

gas desulfurization, selective catalytic reductions, and mercury capture projects. Also responsible for

coordination and implementation of quality assurance procedures.

Provide structural engineering and engineering management for coal-fired power plant flue gas

desulfurization and NOx removal systems for units from 200 MW to 900 MW. This work includes

structural steel design, ductwork design, and design of shallow and deep foundations. Foundation

design includes foundations for structural steel as well as foundations for other plant equipment

including chimneys, absorber vessels, fans, silos, and tanks.
