Managed the $53-million dollar EPC construction and start-up of a SX facility. The components of the facility consisted: SXH SXI Mixer/Settler cells, storage tank farm, and mechanical, electrical and piping (MEP) to separate rare earth metals from other waste earth minerals. After completion of the SXHI FeU facility, I was tasked with starting another EPC project for the site wide Tank Farm MEP construction and turned over to a Process Engineer to complete. I was also task to develop a Scope of Work plan, estimate cost and oversee the start of the installation of the site-wide heat tracing and insulation program for the at-risk exposed pipes. I also task with the coordination and management of the tie-in of the site distribution system between the various Molycorp process facilities for start-up and full operation of the Molycorp process. The facility, under a fast track construction schedule, was completed in eight months from start of construction to full operation.

Assisted the regional and project construction managers with Lump Sum building of a $84-million dollar, 7-mile, 72-inch diameter water transmission pipeline with three miles of both micro tunneling, bore and jack operations, pipeline appurtenances, four vault structures, three control buildings and customer service turnouts. The project was completed on schedule despite discovery of severely contaminated groundwater and the Micro Tunneling Boring Machine (MTBM) hitting an unknown steel pile supported approach slab under the heavily used Union Pacific rail line. We worked closely with the contractor in developing a means and method that the contractor and other stakeholders could agree with in resolving the cost and schedule: 1) development of an economical treatment system, thereby enabling discharge of treated groundwater to a municipal sewer system and 2) installing a new receiving/bore shaft outside the 25-foot work zone of the tracks and removing a 35-foot section of the casing to back out the MTBM while not delaying rail traffic. The groundwater treatment system saved the project approximately $13-million dollar in trucking fees to dispose of groundwater elsewhere. Work continued concurrently on pipeline construction to prevent additional time extensions to the project schedule and other construction schedules.

Managed the Lump Sum construction of a new $45-million dollar aeration basin and improvements to the existing aeration basins to provide an additional 10-mgd wastewater treatment to an award winning 25-mgd wastewater treatment plant operated by Clean Water Services. The project was completed 11 months ahead of schedule with change orders less than 3% of the original contract price. This was accomplished by working with the contractor to find faster ways within their means and methods, budget and baseline schedule to complete the work and develop a same day response from the engineers to submitted Request for Information.
