Columbia Generating Station

Delivers high level project management and leadership oversight for mission critical and enterprise risk projects.Overseen projects are multi-faceted and cross-functional, involving highest nuclear, industrial, radiological, environmental, and/or financial risk, requiring the requiring the strongest leadership to appropriately manage the inherent project risks.Ensures overseen projects are well integrated and effectively sequenced to minimize enterprise risk exposure, control costs, and complete as planned. Ensures formal challenges are frequently utilized to ensure completion of each phase accurately, on time and with the highest quality.

Columbia Generating Station

Ultimately responsible for the successful preparation and execution of Refueling, Maintenance, and Forced Outages conducted at CGS, that result in high capacity factor and equipment reliability. Accountable for outage budget, outage duration, and overall safe execution of outage activities.Leads, Motivates, and Influences the organization by benchmarking, establishing, and driving outage goals and initiatives that support quality and production commitments to the region. Notable successes include:o In a two-month timeframe, successfully prepared for and executed a Maintenance Outage (MO-02) to address turbine vibrations. The outage met established outage goals, notably under budget and ahead of the published outage schedule.o Successfully demonstrated timely and effective learnings from the prior refueling outage regarding start-up preparations, challenging contingency readiness, and Outage Command Center (OCC) proficiency.

Columbia Generating Station

Responsible for the successful development, planning, and execution of refueling and forced outages at Columbia Generating Station. Leads cross-functional teams comprised of multiple disciplines to ensure outages, planned and forced, are implemented safely, with high quality, and in predictable manners, ensuring outage results support organizational and regional goals. Responsible for establishment, refinement, and maintenance of the Long-Range Outage Plan (LROP), as well as its integration with key enterprise programs. Fosters Self-Critical and Continuous Learning Environments notably exhibited by continual collaboration with our peers as a Vice Chairman for the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) Outage Management Committee (OMC). Further exemplified by leading Post-Outage Critiques and Post-Outage Benchmarking; serving as a Peer Reviewer for other utilities; initiating gap analyses on outage performance; and regular use of the corrective action program and self-reflection.Demonstrates a Passion for Predictable and Realistic Long Range Outage Planningo Initiated the most in-depth Outage Window Gap Analysis performed at CGS, comparing historical outage performance against our peers with General Electric (GE) Outage Window data, kicking off a strategy to help improve Columbia’s performance over a wide array of schedule opportunities.o Developed and published a Gap Analysis of CGS’ LROP and how the Preventative Maintenance (PM) Program and Outage Budget Strategy impacts our ability to have predictable outages.o Identified key learnings and roadblocks to accurate budgeting and accounting of Refueling Outages throughout R25’s preparation timeframe.o Key member on the PM Optimization / Value Based Maintenance (VBM) team, with the goal to reduce shop loading to realistic levels while maintaining healthy equipment.

Columbia Generating Station

Responsible for leading and managing an effective team of Project Managers, Field Coordinators and Planners. Management duties include establishing roles & responsibilities, reinforcing standards & expectations, providing timely feedback and developing employees. Responsibilities also include management of divisional procedures and processes and ensuring they are accurate and meet established industry practices and intents. Roles also include effective negotiations and conflict resolution between both internal and external stakeholders.Responsible for professionally representing the division to Senior Management, External Stakeholders and the Executive Board.

Columbia Generating Station

Responsible for the management of various cross-functional projects and project teams, many occurring simultaneously, spanning a wide array of applications. Management duties include development, monitoring and control of scope, budgets and schedules. Developing, maintaining and distributing project performance metrics. Establishing and managing vendor contracts and material procurements. Identifying, planning and managing risk profiles for all activities through initiation, planning (design), implementation and close out. Duties also include constant communication to stakeholders and management, especially for conflict resolution and negotiations.Sample of managed projects include...Reactor Feedwater (RFW) Pump Coupling Replacements - Complete replacement of the existing geared pump / turbine couplings with new flexible diaphragm couplings that minimize required maintenance with substantially longer life spans. Project required extensive dynamic and torsional analysis of the new couplings to ensure no adverse affects would occur to the RFW pump and turbine. New couplings also required new coupling guards and a mock-up to familiarize the mechanics with the installation process.Emergent Recovery of a stuck RFW Discharge Isolation Valve - Following an outage, a RFW Discharge Isolation Valve (gate) experienced a stem-disc separation. An emergent cross-functional team was assembled to evaluate the condition and options necessary to open the valve (no parts available and all parts had long lead times). Following extensive First of a Kind (FOAK) risk evaluations, high risk challenge meetings, Foreign Material Exclusion planning and mock-ups, the station elected to open the valve via external means. With the expertise of a subject matter expert / vendor, the valve was hot-tapped and a push-rod system was used successfully to push the wedge out of its seat.

Duties also include constant communication to stakeholders and management, especially for conflict resolution and negotiations.Sample of managed projects include...Halogen Injection System Overhaul - Complete replacement of an existing chemical injection system (sodium hypochloride and sodium bromide) necessary to control organic growth within the Circulating Water and Service Water Systems. Replacement system was a modular chemical feed system with automated metering. Project required heat tracing / freeze protection, sub-grade pre-formed trenching and substantial testing of the replacement system.Alternate Fuel Pool Cooling (FPC) Assist Mode Piping Modification - Installation of a new piping cross-tie (ASME III/2 and III/3) between FPC and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Systems to allow maintenance to occur on the Common Shutdown Cooling Header during a refueling outage. Project was implemented in two phases and required extensive high risk management. Phase I required securing of the FPC system, lowering the level of the Spent Fuel Pool to drain the FPC Assist Mode Piping and installing a new pre-fabricated piping assembly. Phase II required securing one train of the RHR system, performing the final tie-in, radiography and testing the system prior to turnover.
