• Calculated and applied static and environmental loads in accordance with API RP 2A, 21st edition.
• Calculated and applied equipment, piping, electrical, instrumentation and safety and loss control loads.
• Applied and analyzed hog and sag, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) induced acceleration and fabrication tolerance loads.
• Checked load consistency against vendor, piping and electrical discipline data and the latest applicable weight report.
• Prepared and performed design analysis and optimization of structural members against in-place, extreme, transit and damage conditions.
• Performed deflection and drift checks to ensure compliance with the project design basis.
• Checked structural element capacity and compliance with project design standards (AISC and API).
• Performed lift analysis for the port side and starboard side oil dehydration modules.
• Designed vertical, horizontal and skid-mounted equipment supports, including a 10.0 m by 2.20 m diameter methanol buffer drum and a 25.0 m by 4.50 m diameter electrostatic dehydrator.
• Performed static blast linear analysis of the port side and starboard side oil dehydration modules, and compared the linear static results with the non-linear dynamic analysis.
• Prepared basic condition design reports for both modules and the blast condition design report for the starboard side module.
• Coordinated with other engineers on path forwards and resolutions for issues across the modules.

Senior Civil-Structural Engineer

• Re-evaluated the existing coke structure to support a larger coke drum — a structure 170 ft long by 65 ft wide with a total height of 325 ft to the top elevation of the derrick.
• Calculated empty, operating, wind, seismic and lift loads to ASCE 7, and built a STAAD Pro model from as-built drawings with updated loads from vendor data.
• Evaluated existing derrick structural sufficiency to AISC 9th edition requirements and existing tabletop capacity to ACI 318-05 requirements.
• Proposed modifications to reinforce the existing structure for construction, lift and updated loads, and resolved the resulting construction issues with the lead engineer.
• Investigated and proposed modifications to the existing tabletop concrete structure supporting the T-1200N fractionator tower (20 ft diameter by 110 ft high) at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur, Texas: calculated and applied empty, operating, hydro test, wind and seismic loads transferred by the tower under IBC 2006 and ASCE 7, and evaluated tabletop capacity to ACI 318-05.
• Designed miscellaneous pipe supports and the remaining miscellaneous structural steel and concrete support foundations left on the punch list for the Reliance project, India refinery, and coordinated the design team to meet client schedule and project milestones.
• Designed structure E522/E535 for the Chevron refinery at El Segundo, California — a steel structure braced in both directions supporting six exchanger vessels stacked one on another, with bracing configured to accommodate maintenance and pipe access while meeting AISC recommendations for high seismic zones, and lateral drift and vertical deflection controlled so that all six exchangers held the same referenced centreline.
• Designed foundations E-512, E-588 and E-555, sized and configured around existing underground structures, and analyzed the resulting combined foundation for the eccentricities that configuration introduced.
• Designed the variable frequency drive (VFD) support foundation and the lean oil chiller system foundation.
• Collaborated with the site engineering team supporting the crude and coker area turn-around construction group at the El Segundo site, coordinating information from site, as-built drawings and the proposed structural configuration to avoid clashes, and re-evaluating structures subject to site modifications.
