I have the privilege of consulting for many great clients, from aerospace companies in the US, to geothermal, petrochemical, and other companies worldwide. The piping systems I work on touch all industries that are involved and centered around piping design challenges. I am sharing my piping engineering, expansion joint, pipe support and vibration analysis experience with these companies. For confidentiality reasons I cannot go into details beyond the following. I have been working with teams on the piping and expansion joint designs including on the latest Low Earth Orbit (LEO) rockets being developed, in addition to pipe stress analysis, pipe support and expansion joint designs for test facility and industrial piping systems. I am working to show the teams I support, how to best utilize different expansion joints and pipe supports in conjunction with the piping layouts to solve various design challenges that arise. In this and other piping industries my specialty work includes consulting in pipe stress analysis, piping design and drawings, special pipe supports, unique expansion joint designs, fatigue failure studies and analysis, dynamic piping system analysis, site investigations, pipe vibration readings and analysis, expansion joint and pipe support site investigations and analysis, piping transient loading analysis, pipe failure analysis and mitigation, finite element analysis (FEA), piping designs for miniscule rotating equipment allowable nozzle loads, short lead time turnarounds on piping design challenges for process piping, GSE and flight systems, flow induced vibration (FIV) of bellows, pressure drop review of bellows, bellows calculations, design of dynamic hardware on expansion joints and piping systems, and helping clients solve other unique challenges that arise. It is always exciting for me so please feel free to reach out with any questions.

CWA represented ASC Engineered Solutions (formerly Anvil EPS and ITT Grinnell) in California and the Aerospace industry across the US. CWA focused on working closely with clients on the design, specification and supply of engineered pipe supports. The combination of Anvil EPS’s nuclear and power industry background along with CWA’s aerospace piping knowledge allowed the combined teams to support client's needs. CWA utilized their piping and pipe stress background to help clients in the selections and detailing of Anvil EPS’s engineering pipe supports.

Santa Monica, California And Houston, Texas

I have been undertaking the pipe stress analysis and supported the piping design teams and management on nine new renewable energy projects over the course of my time consulting with T.A.S. Energy. Their geothermal projects were a new venture and it is a pleasure to be sharing my experience, as well as being very involved in the detailed piping design. I consult from Los Angeles and travelled to Houston, Texas and sites as required. In addition to my role in pipe stress analysis, I liaise with pipe support vendors and expansion joint manufacturers to best optimize the designs and costs. I support the teams on site during construction and commissioning to ensure the design philosophies and details are followed through. The challenges and commitments on projects with T.A.S. have been a reel joy.

Pipe Stress Analyst and Project Engineer with specialist work in piping, piping design, design of unique pressure vessel components using FEA software COSMOS and APV. As Project Engineer I had the privilege to lead up a talented team on the development, design and construction of the companies largest liquid Nitrogen/Oxygen/Argon plants for clients in Guatemala and Turkey, in addition to supporting other projects on the technical side.

I was the Project Engineer for one of WET Design’s major multi-million dollar overseas projects. I was responsible for all engineering, including but not limited to Mechanical and Piping Design, P&ID development, coordination of all engineering departments on the project which included Research and Development of innovative new concepts, Product development and a multi-discipline team of Engineering and drafting resources. I always approached my work with a safety first philosophy that was bread into me at Alcan Engineering.

I was a Senior Specialist Mechanical and Piping Design Engineer with ALCENG’s Engineering Solutions Group. The focus of my work was on projects for the Alcan Gove alumina refinery and it’s steam power station, Cement Australia Railton mine, Hindalco Muri Plant (India) and Nalco (National Aluminium Company of India) along with various other clients.My work involved understanding Clients needs and requirements, on-site scoping of projects, mechanical engineering design, pipe stress analysis, piping design, analysis of aging vessels and tanks and process design including engineering computations and application of specific mechanical engineering design experience gained in Ireland and Australia.

I worked with ProsCon initially as a Validation Engineer and then as a Mechanical and Piping Engineer in the Engineering Design Department. I worked on various projects for a range of Clients sites around the southern coast of Ireland. The work included the successful completion of Projects and works for many of the major multinational pharmaceutical companies.
