Project/Structural Engineer 2015– Present

Prepare structural analysis and design calculations, drawings and specifications for buildings/platforms assessment and modification and provide technical justification for the mounting of new equipment. Typical buildings type consists of steel frame, braces, concrete shear walls, and steel and reinforced concrete platforms. Develop finite element and response spectrum analysis and compare building behavior to current building code requirements and then design additional repair/strengthening for those structures and/or members that do not pass all code requirements.

Design new steel and concrete buildings/platforms, equipment anchorage and pipe support to carry new loads, and then managing producing construction drawings, material take off, procedures and coordinate the site work. Assist in preparing engineering change packages for safety and non-safety related projects with Peach Bottom, Calvert Cliffs and Seabrook power plants. A list of latest projects includes:

Connection design of Draper Hall 14 story residential building in New York City

Perform seismic analysis and check various steel and concrete members for the increased floor loading in Radwaste and Turbine buildings at Peach Bottom Plant

Design new pipe supports at Calvert Cliffs power plant, and coordinate with site engineers, contractor and construction team to deliver the project according to standards and specifications

Senior Structural/Project Engineer 2013 – 2015

Supervised and managed a team of three engineers, and drafters in design and analysis of concrete and steel structures in various civil projects. The team consistently stayed under or within the budget and met the deadlines. Performed assessment of various buildings and infrastructure components and prepared technical reports of the observations, causes of damage and methods of repair. This includes managing building restoration projects and implementing conventional and/or FRP repair techniques.

Contributed to the area of seismic evaluation, analysis, detailing and design review of heavy industrial buildings such as turbine and reactor buildings in power plant. His role in building assessments, seismic analysis and testing of concrete elements in a structural project had led the client in Switzerland (insurance companies) to save 285$ million in a settlement agreement. Major projects include:

Repairing and Seismic Assessment of AMI Stadium and other Buildings–New Zealand.

Christchurch Structural Elements Sample Testing – New Zealand. (The project received the Engineer Society of Western Pennsylvania’s Project of the 2015 Award in the Advanced Technology category).

Building assessment and repair of 925 public houses and Infrastructures components – Municipality of Abu Dhabi, UAE. (The team built the first risk map and establishes new building guidelines).

Santa Isabel Wind Turbine Tower Analysis and Design Review – Siemens, Puerto Rico's.

Foundation design for Carmon Creek Cogeneration Plant (Gas-Fired Plant) – Shell, Alberta.

Westinghouse AP1000 Nuclear Power Plants – China and New USA design. (Help the client to meet the requirements of NRC and to AP1000 licensed in USA and China within the planned schedule).
