Commercial Building — Construction Site Safety Incident
Performed expert analysis of provided documentation in construction site safety incident litigation case. Incident involved temporary traffic control during construction which required a review for compliance with Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Completed an expert report and expert witness deposition services during the case.
Industrial — Steel Fabrication Facility
Provided analysis of legal claims against contractor related to adherence to design drawings and construction quality procedures. This required application of forensic investigation of all supplied documents related to alleged rework claims. In-depth analysis of individual claims was required to accurately report actual issues and to assign the rework cost to the appropriate, responsible party.
Oil & Gas — LNG
Provided expert analysis of contractor's performance during construction to commissioning handover phase of project. Leveraged information from contractor's proprietary commissioning management system software to provide a data backed view of contractor's performance during the commissioning phase of the project. Cross referenced dates in commissioning management system with contractor communications to support view that contractor's poor execution during commissioning phase of project lead to safety incidents, construction quality issues, and overall project delays.
Utilities — Power Transmission/Distribution
Provided program and project management services to power utility company for the execution of projects involving their existing transmission and distribution assets. Lead the development of project scope, design, budget, planning, and construction execution for multiple projects which required the additional direction of land, environmental, and permitting groups in supporting project execution.
Petrochemical — Ethane Cracker and Polyethylene Units
Lead estimate validation efforts for advising owner on how to best manage project risk through a mix of negotiation levers to use with contractors and recommendations for best contract delivery methodologies to address inflation issues affecting labor, material, and freight costs. Developed probabilistic models for cost and schedule assessments that were compared to industry benchmarks.
Renewables — Offshore Wind Generation
Lead all planning efforts for engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of an offshore wind substation which required the coordination of multiple companies spread across different countries.
Performed cash flow analysis that team leveraged to ensure payment milestones terms aligned with a positive cash flow during project execution.
Oil & Gas — Module Fabrication
Implemented new project management software system used for cost tracking/forecasting, quantity installation tracking, earned value management, field crew productivity, schedule integration, change management, and project reporting. This required direction and training of multiple project teams on how to set up and use new system as they switched over from legacy systems.
Oil & Gas — Refinery
Lead planning and execution for the installation of mechanical and piping systems for a new hydrogen reformer unit inside an operating refinery. Provided field engineering solutions to engineering design scope gaps that met strict structural and fire permitting requirements for the State of California. Specifically, developed support details and hydro testing procedures for permitting compliance needed for piping systems that were not part of original design scope.
Oil & Gas — LNG
Directed field crews in the installation of process piping and fire control systems for liquefaction and gas processing units within existing LNG facility. Responsible for compliance with engineering drawings and quality control testing requirements while monitoring productivity requirements needed to meet schedule. Orchestrated remaining work completion for sub-system handovers to support commissioning schedule requirements.
Power Generation — Combined Cycle Power Plant
Lead the installation, testing, and commissioning of fire and gas detection systems for a combined cycle power plant. Designed field routing of fiber optic network from new fire panels through existing facility to main control room due to scope gaps in how system interfaced with existing facility in original engineering design. Directed field work to ensure system turnover supported operations team requirements for starting up steam and combustion turbines.
