book “Rust: The Longest War,” 2015, by Jonathan Waldman. All documents available upon request.
OTHER ATTRIBUTES:
Fluent in three languages and understand two others.
Member: American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Five time State Soccer Champion. Previous national badminton ranking (3rd
in doubles).
2. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
Year Project Impact
2003 Introduced through research “Strain criteria” instead of “dent
depth” for digging
Numerous digs not required
(millions in savings).
2004 Introduced new sleeving criteria through engineering evaluation
and research (Sleeving at 20% metal loss in dents instead of 12.5%).
Significantly reduced the
number of required sleeves
(approximately a million
dollars in savings)
2004 Introduced new pressure restriction criteria through engineering
evaluation and research
o Reduce pressure only if defect exceeds criteria as opposed to
industry standard of pressure reduction for all dents.
o Pressure reduction in many parts of TAPS required increased
DRA injection.
This saved millions in DRA
usage in 2004.
2004 Performed Mechanical damage assessment utilizing
o Deterministic Analysis of Fatigue Life
o Probabilistic Analysis – Probability of Fatigue Failure
o This was ground breaking work in the industry and presented
at the International Pipeline Conference.
o This study helped cancel numerous digs. The pipe was not
exposed to unnecessary risk of excavation equipment.
Tens of millions in savings
and significant risk reduction.
2004 Received Alyeska President’s Excellence Award (Developing
probabilistic and deterministic method to calculate remaining life of
defects.)
2007 Changed through research and engineering evaluation the Fuel
Gas Line Depth of Cover criteria:
o A detailed study conducted with Kiefner and Associates to
reduce DOC criteria from 30” to 18.” Utilized LIDAR and
IMU unit to establish depth of cover.
o State DOT agreed with the criteria and JPO approved it.
o Received Alyeska President’s Excellence award. (Developing
a new way to reduce risk by assuring appropriate depth of
cover.)
Millions in savings and
significant risk reduction.
2008 Cancelled the 2008 curvature ILI run by utilizing MFL data to size
dents
o This was a unique research project and worked very closely
with the ILI vendor to achieve this.
o Very detailed work with advanced algorithms was necessary
to accomplish this.
o This would also open up the schedule to run one ILI tool in
2009 (combo MFL and Caliper). This means the curvature
tool we are required to run every five years will never be
required again.
o Fewer pig runs minimize operational risk.
This is a cost savings of a pig
run in 2008.
2009 Wrote the special permit and intervention criteria for long seam
waiver of corrosion on TAPS and influenced code change.
o This required expert understanding of mechanical properties,
ILI analysis and metallurgy.
o Spearheaded change of national ASME code to accommodate
this criterion.
o Received executive recognition and special bonus for work on
changing nation code based on engineering analysis.
Many millions in savings.
3. 2010-
2012
o Performed system wide RA for station piping
o Developed KPIs for IM department
o Lead for DOT IM inspection (passed with no NOPVs)
o Managed Pipe Integrity Group with broad accountability
o Developed and performed a risk based resource analysis for
TAPS IM department
2013 o Partnered with industry to develop an enhanced MFL ILI tool
that could see under clamps on pipelines.
o The first of its kind in the industry.
o Received President’s award for innovation (working with a
specific vendor to develop a new enhanced inspection tool)
Many millions saved by not
requiring risk based
inspection. This was also a
significant reduction in risk.
2014-
2015
o Worked with a new company to develop application of a
robotic crawler tool in liquid pipelines.
o This was the first application of such a tool in liquid pipelines
and had to develop tests and criteria to get it approved by the
DOT.
o Received President’s award for innovation (developing a
completely new way to inspect pipe. First in liquid industry).
o Received API award for Environment (environment
department under my supervision).
o Received Governor’s Safety award (safety department under
my supervision).
o Received Ethosphere award for world’s most ethical company
(ethics department under my supervision).
This saved over a hundred
million as pipe that would
have needed replacement
could now be inspected and
repaired. This is also a very
significant risk reduction.
