In the year 2016, I helped in establishing the Oloidien Estate and Engineering Co. LTD, under which I have been in charge of a number of projects that involved planning, scheduling, budgeting & liaising with clients. I have been involved in a wide range of Engineering projects right from initial stages to execution; these are majorly Geothermal projects. Below is a summary of experience gained and projects that I have been responsible for: -  Construction/fabrication of 700 meter 30” steam line at Or Power 4 Geothermal Power Plant for Well Pad K to the new Plant (OEC 7). It also included lagging and insulation, testing and commissioning.  Conversion from single header to double header for Well K1 at Or Power Geothermal Power Plant. This project included an extension of 30meter, 30” line which joined the existing steam pipeline.  Supervised the installation of Fire Suppression system for Or Power 4 Geothermal Plant (OEC 7). The project involved testing and commissioning. Modification of the preheating system (7 units) for Plant 2 and 3 at Or Power 4 Power plants. The project involved modification of the existing piping system, additional seven preheaters and Insulation & cladding.  In charge of Electrical and Instrumentation during the construction phase of Or Power Power plant (OEC 7). The project involved the installation of all Instrumentation equipment’s, cabling works, testing and commissioning. In charge of the day to day operations and maintenance of the Geothermal Power stations and Geothermal Green House heating system at Oserian.
