Summary of Significant Engineering Project and Management Experience
1) Overhauls for power plant diesel generators
a) Six units at 12,000 running hours, 18,000 running hours, and 24,000 hrs each
b) Total cost per unit: $750,000 at each overhaul
c) Duration of project: up to six months prior preparation, work completed at each phase in 14-40
days.
d) Coordinated ordering and delivery of parts, scheduling of labor, scope of work performed, and
impact on overall plant operation including outages
e) Budgeted for repair of individual components for off-site refurbishment by third party vendors,
directed scope of repair work
2) Repair, Refit, and Regulatory Inspection of Steam Boilers and Generators
a) Two units twice each major overhaul, once each regulatory inspection
b) Total cost per unit: $50,000; overall cost $200,000
c) Duration of project: one month prior preparation, work completed in 7 days
d) Coordinated ordering, delivery, and supply of parts; oversaw rebuilding of fittings, parts, and
associated components in onboard facility
e) Interfaced with regulatory agencies for inspection and compliance with federal regulations on
condition, repair, and reinstallation
3) Redesign, reinstall main engineering power plant cooling water systems to repair damage and
failures and facilitate upgrades
a) Design temporary workaround for work on main systems, purchase raw materials needed,
coordinate and interface with maintenance crew(s) for work.
b) Direct and organize two multi-disciplined vendor teams made up of more than a dozen individual
contractors: one for construction of secondary cooling system, one for internal repair of primary
system, both with minimal impact on normal operations of vessel power production and air
conditioning services
c) Liaison with contractors and subcontractors and reconcile problems in scope of work gaps and
overlaps
d) Construction of additional systems to support primary system and return of primary system to
service upon completion of repairs; removal of secondary system upon completion of work
e) Total cost (labor and materials): approximately $400,000
4) Redesign, construction, and installation of auxiliary cooling and water production systems
a) Research, coordinate with vendors, and purchase new equipment to replace or modify substandard
equipment already installed.
b) Plan and oversee installation of equipment, including labor and operational cost management.
c) Total cost (labor and materials): approximately $100,000
5) Major Shutdown of Power Plant (Drydock)
a) Capital improvement and maintenance projects for all equipment, including power generation,
water production, inspections by regulatory agencies, and major overhauls. Total cost

2. approximately $1 million at each event.
b) Liaison with US Naval and military officers for facilities operations
6) Follow-up of problems related to installations of previously constructed propulsion, electrical,
and automation systems
a) Scheduling of inspections, budgeting and tracking costs of repairs, devising plan for repairs to
minimize operational impact
b) Total cost approximately $250,000
c) Budgeted for repair of individual components for off-site refurbishment by third party vendors and
subcontractors, directed scope of repair work
7) Miscellaneous repair, maintenance, and refurbishment projects
a) Examples: seal replacement on stabilizing fins, manufacturer inspection of major equipment,
replacement of desalination plant equipment, replacement of generators, rerouting of cabling and
wiring on massive scale, installation of new system components
b) Projects range from maintenance repaired within one day, to projects involving redesign,
improvement, or overhaul lasting months
c) Total cost: $3 million annual operating budget for materials, $1.5 million for labor including overtime
costs, both independent of other projects
8) Environmental Improvements and Designs, Malin International Ship Repair and Drydock
a) Project and Consultant development for installation of water purification systems and other
environmental initiatives
b) Directed purchase of materials, designs of systems, and construction and installation of shipboard
oil and water separation systems
c) Total cost: approximately $150,000
9) Refit of Rolls Royce/Alstom Electrical Propulsion Units
a) Coordination with vendors for purchase, installation, and labor cost of all associated equipment
including bearings, pumps, electrical cabling and wiring, automation controls, and regulatory
approval
b) Total cost approximately $1.5 million
10) Installation of Carbon Emissions Scrubber System
a) Determine locations for major retrofit piping, electrical components, pumps, and auxiliary equipment
onboard vessel and review and approve designs proposed by vendor/system designer.
b) Direct onboard construction team for placement and modification as necessary of proposed system
c) Coordinate purchase of materials, and shipment to location as they are needed
d) Review environmental regulations vs planned installation model; adjust accordingly
e) Total cost: $10 million+
11) Complete overhaul of engineering power-plant and facility and associated systems,
accommodations, and ancillary equipment (refrigeration, water treatment, oil purification, waste
water treatment)
a) Construction of new facilities, including electrical, water, and other utilities
b) Interface with regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with construction designs, practices, and
installation
c) Further planning for next evolution in 2016
d) Total cost: approximately $25 million
