SUMMARY

Over 25 years of experience in plant and equipment layout, piping design and construction support in petrochemical plants working on revamp/retrofit and greenfield projects. Offering strong piping design skills based on five years of journeyman pipefitter experience to preparing piping scopes of work, Material Take-Offs and piping estimates. Completed piping design projects on schedule and within budget. Rework ratio averaged below 2% on major turnkey projects.

Gained considerable field experience in routing lines, locating equipment, locating tie-ins, modifying existing piping systems and solving field problems during construction. Worked directly with Project Engineers and Project Managers on revamp and grassroot projects. Provided design team support to other disciplines on the projects. Prepared PFDs, P&IDs, Piping Plans, Isometrics, etc.

Gained much versatility in the offshore design industry over the past twelve (12) years.
