As a structural engineer on contract with Arup, I have been involved with the front-end and detailed design of a concrete offshore oil and gas platform. Specifically, my experience has included: + Design of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete elements + Extensive use of structural analysis and finite element software + Development of large-scale computer models and automation scripts to streamline post-processing work + Code research, design checks, concept prototyping, validation and design reviews + Production of engineering deliverables, including calculation reports and technical drawings in collaboration with the CAD/BIM team
+ Projects: $300 million subsea infrastructure upgrades for Suncor Energy and $60 million offshore pipeline system in support of ExxonMobil’s Hebron Project + Work scopes included marine foundations, subsea pipelines, geotechnical/dredging, diving and ROV operations, and deployment of large structures from heavy lift vessels + Used finite element-based software to analyze marine dynamics and establish design loads on structures and equipment. Collaborated closely with structural engineers to optimize design, resulting in potential savings exceeding $700,000 + Produced detailed design calculations, equipment and tooling specifications, procedures, project schedules, and other engineering deliverables using a variety of tools including MS Project, MathCAD, ANSYS and STAAD + Engineered heavy lift sequences and designed and managed certification of rigging and lifting equipment + Coordinated mobilization of tooling and equipment at marine base in preparation for offshore operations + Interfaced effectively with clients, subcontractors and third parties, and was responsible for technical queries and variation orders throughout project
+ Designed and delivered an innovative work-around for a supply chain constraint; helped achieve gains against the critical path schedule and reduce costs by $250,000 + Supported tendering team by developing quantity take-offs, procedures, and cost estimates, and provided technical input for drafting team in production of technical drawings/sketches/3D models + Co-authored feasibility study on an emerging construction technology; insights gained from this study enhanced firm’s competitive advantage
