Engaged in work sharing project with Navi Mumbai office by communicating daily for doing design work, coordination with Design Logs, and provide technical advice and recommend solutions to resolve piping layout per model review comments. Reviewing all disciplines squad check and Equipment Location Plan drawings, Tie-in Location Plat Plans, Also Instruments control valves, FE, TE, TI, Level Gauges and Level Transmitters data sheets for the phase 2/3 estimate. In addition, as part of the refurbishment effort, system will be upgraded to meet current safety, environmental and operation standards.

Responsibilities include supervising Mumbai Modelling for the Area being work on, including all types of vessels for new nozzles for level transmitters/gauges or any kind of instrument connections. Assisted designer in workshare from Navi Mumbai office in resolution of piping lay-out problems during phase three execution.
