#4 Blast Furnace Top Rebuild

The Scope of Work for this project included a comprehensive rebuild of the Blast Furnace Top Section which included advanced technology upgrades in environmental control systems, energy production/consumption systems, automated material handling systems, process monitoring/control systems, refractory replacement and electrical energy transmission/distribution. The environmental control systems included air and water emissions to meet strict EPA “closed loop” requirements (i.e. furnace dust capture & recycling). Monitoring and usage of high voltage electrical power utilized state of the art generation, control and distribution technologies such as frequency drive blower motors, PLC logic controllers for all aspects of production control. Modernization of steam power and generation included new piping insulation and heat tracing, a new condensation/chiller plant. Steam is used at ArcelorMittal as part of the production process itself and to run turbines to generate electrical power.

USS (Contract Project Manager) December 2017 to June 2018

Gary Indiana – Gary Works

The USS Gary, Indiana Tin Mill facility developed a facility upgrade and automation program aimed specifically at improving product quality, reduced overall cost and on-time delivery. The Tin Mill process converted flat cold rolled steel to a product plated with Tin. Primary customers for this product are the canned food and beverage industry who use the USS plated steel to cold form cans and similar containers. Equipment upgrades were focused on reliably meeting customer standards for flatness, mechanical deformation properties and uniform gauge thickness across the width of the coil. These equipment upgrades relied on sophisticated computerized real time product data gathering and feedback to maintain product dimensional, mechanical and metallurgical specifications. Supporting these process technology upgrades required a much more sophisticated and reliable mill drive motor electrical system. Quality monitoring and control to meet tighter customer specifications demanded sampling, inspection and corrective action to be taken in process. This was accomplished with an entirely new PLC based system and high- tech operator work stations located at strategic locations on the shop floor.

Duties included:

●Responsible for project management/contractor coordination with MJ Electric

●Meet with facility operators and plant engineering to review project progress

●Program Manager for $51 million capital improvement projects.

●Directing staff of 4 Project Managers at 3 locations.

●Identified new and existing client needs/developed scope of work proposals for initial and on-going projects.
