a Switchgear and Control building (about 450 tons) for the Arthit Project
(Thailand). Responsibilities included monitoring the work of the
subcontractor, liaising with the design contractor in Singapore and the
Project Office in Batam. I called in additional support (engineers,
inspectors, HSE) as and when required.
HSE was a major concern due to the poor attitude of Contractors' Management
and blatant disregard for basic HSE requirements on site. Changing this
behavour became a major part of my assignment.
2005 - 2006 Senior HUC Engineer Piping/Mechanical, Singapore
Responsible for planning and preparation of the hookup and commissioning
work for the Arthit Project (Thailand). This included preparing the hookup
and commissioning plan, reviewing design drawings to minimize hookup scope
and to facilitate commissioning, specifying the commissioning and start up

Project complex, consisting of three platforms, seven bridges, bridge
support platforms and flare stacks (approximately 28,000 T).

The project included 2 jackets and one deck. The jackets were the first to
be built in Canada.
Responsible for a team of engineers and planners working in the project
design office in Houston to provide constructability input during the
design phase of the project. This involved preparing the construction
schedule and establishing the material and engineering deliverables
required to support the schedule. This information was used by Engineering
and Procurement to prioritize activities during detailed design. Input to
the design was provided to promote a cost effective construction
methodology. We initiated major changes including deleting the sub-cellar
deck to reduce loadout costs and controlling the height of the deck to
maximize the amount of work that could be completed inside the Assembly
Hall.
During the construction phase I was the Site Engineering Manager
responsible for a multi-discipline engineering department on site. This
included preparation and implementation of work pack procedures, mechanical
completion procedures, testing procedures, load out procedures, fabrication
drawings, monitoring and supervising construction activities etc., and
