Work Experience:

Black & Veatch Overland Park, KS

Mechanical Engineering Specialist I 12/2019 – 06/2020

Assigned to the Materials Application Section as a contingent employee with a focus in the area of Cathodic Protection (CP). Supplemented workforce of this welding and corrosion control focused group as needed during my contract.

Projects:

Dania Beach

oUtilized MathCad to perform the necessary calculations for the Pipe Internals and Condensers

oReviewed Isometric Drawings to coordinate anode placement and ensure proper anode identification in cathodic protection drawing set.

oPrepared Bill of Quantity (BOQ) for the Dania Beach CP System and added it to the drawing set.

oPrepared cathodic protection drawings for various systems below and above grade ICCP systems

· National Grid

oSpearheaded the design of the cathodic protection system for the National Grid Project. This project included cathodic protection for steel railroad casing facilitating the installation of non-metallic pipe type cable.

oPrepared the complete design deliverable including CP Calculation, Typical CP Details, CP system layout, and BOQ documents for the Project.

oPerformed project under general supervision.

· Plant Crist

oCoordinated with team members to develop various design documents for the project, including VCI (Vapor-Phase Corrosion Inhibitor) design for sand filled ring wall tanks and cathodic protection for underground piping.

· CPS

oPart of a field team tasked with obtaining CP field data during site visits to the Sommers, Spruce, Braunig, Lee West, and Rio Nogales Power Plants located in San Antonio, TX.

oUtilized digital multi-meter, reference electrodes, and various CP survey equipment throughout the project to assess the current condition and function of the CP system under the supervision of a NACE Certified CP tech.
