William Creed, Electrical Engineer
Mr. Creed has 19 yearsof experience in the Marine Repair Industryand 1
year in the Vertical/Horizontal Structure Design industry. In the Marine
Repair IndustryWilliam worked first as a marine craft mechanical, electrical
and piping(MEP) system installer, and then later as Project Manager
reportingdirectlyto the facility owner. Responsibilitiesincluded customer
care, generation of design/installation scope of work, manpower estimating,
design of MEP systemsincludingemergencyand backup power systemsfor
marine crafts, supervision of personnel for the actual installation phase,
mentoringother new hires throughout their professional career, inspection
and QA/QC for different installation phasesof the work.
In the Vertical/Horizontal Structure Design industry, William has served as
an Electrical Lead Engineer in small scale commercial projects and as an
Electrical Assistance Engineer in other federal projects. Responsibility
included complete lighting design and watt/sqft energy evaluation, lighting
controls, small (120V to 480V) distribution systems, including short circuit
analysis, system reliability studies, prime rated generator size calculations,
and electrical systems condition assessments. Mr. Creed is familiar with
IESNA, UFC, USPS, VA, NFPA, NEC, IBC, NESC, SCE&G, and IEEE Codes and
Standards.
REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Steinberg Law Office,Summerville SC, Electrical Design Engineer– This
project involved working closely with Frampton Construction to design the
power and lightingneedsfor a new 6700 sqft law office. The mechanical and
lightingload calculationswere done in order to choose the correct
transformersfor the electrical service to the site. The buildingpower was
separated into zones for tenant sharing, requiringtwo, 208/120V3 phase,
electrical metersand main panels. The panel loads were calculated to ensure
enough spare capacity wasavailable and properly sized panels were chosen.
The placement of receptacleswas determined bythe intended use for each
space. The lightingdesign required a warm color of lighting, 3000K, per the
customer’s request. Occupancysensors were used throughout the interior of
the structure to meet energy codes. Lightingfixtureswere chosen to meet
energystandards, customer needs, and to be aestheticallypleasing. A lighting
control panel, with an astronomical clock, was chosen to control the exterior
lightingto meet energy code standards. A monument sign wasadded to the
project and lightingwas designed to accent the sign. All lightingcalculations
were done using AGi32 software. Lightingpower densityvaluesand circuit
capacitieswere checked usingexcel spreadsheets.
Kapstone Recovery #9 Elevator Replacement, Charleston, SC, Electrical
Design Engineer – The project involved providing engineeringanalysisof
the electrical systems supporting a temporaryelevator installed at the Mead
Westvaco Packaging Resources Group in order to determine what was
needed, electrically, to install a permanent elevator. Power, communications,
and lightingwere all required for this project. A site visit was conducted to
determine an appropriate connection point for the new elevator and to assess
the light levelson each of the landings. A 480V, 3 phase, 60 Hz connection
2. was provided for the new elevator. 120V, 1 phase, 60Hzcircuits were provided for the elevator lightsand
the pit receptacle and lights.LED lightingfixtureswere chosen to match the existingfixturesin the building
for the landingsthat were being added.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, SPAWAR Building 4000, Charleston, SC Electrical Design Engineer –
Provided lighting and power design for SPAWAR building 4000. The buildingwas assessed to determine the
lightingand power requirements.The lightingwasdesigned to meet the Unified FacilitiesCriteria, (UFC3 -530-
01). Building4000 required new mechanical and IT equipment. Panelswere assessed and power connections
were designed to accommodate the new equipment. A report of lightingcalculations, power demand
calculations, electrical drawingsand also specifications were developed for thisproject. Short circuit
calculationswere also produced using SKM software.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, SPAWAR Building 3146, Charleston, SC Electrical Design Engineer –
Responsible for the design of the UPS system. Dual uninterrupted power supplieswere connected through a UPS
parallelingswitchboard. Electrical drawings for the UPS system were produced.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, SPAWAR Building 3414, 3410, and 237 Charleston, SC Electrical Design
Engineer – Responsible for the lightingdesign of 33,300 sqft of office, SCIF, and storage space. Lower wattage
lightingfixtureswere required. Foot candle levels and watts/ sf energyevaluationswere designed to meet the
Unified FacilitiesCriteria, (UFC3-530-01)and ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA standard90.1. A lightingcontrol system,
usingoccupancy sensors and multilevel switching, wasalso designed to meet the energy standardslaid out in
the UFC guidelines. Responsible for lightingand power demand calculation reports, electrical drawingsand
specifications for these projects.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, SPAWAR Building 187, Charleston, SC Electrical Design Engineer –
Responsible for the lightingand part of the power design for 48,000 sqft of office and storage space. A partial
lightingreset was required for thisproject. Only the lightingfixturesthat were in areas that were re-designed
and those that were deemed faultywere replaced. A new lightingcontrol system to control both new and
existinglighting was designed to meet the Unified FacilitiesCriteria, (UFC 3-530-01). Helped design the layout,
for the new motor control centers,panels,and transformersin the mechanical rooms.
Calhoun County ISD Lighting Assessment, Port Lavaca Tx, Electrical Design Engineer – Responsible for
the lightingassessment of 758,000 sqft of schools. 6 schools with 15 buildingswere assessed. Responsible for
collecting data on room dimensions,fixture type and quantity/area, light levels/area, lightingcontrols/area,
lamp and ballast type, voltages,wattages,and fixture temperatures. Also, responsible for locating and recording
data on electrical and gas meters; includingtheir location on site plans. Excel spreadsheetswere used to input
the data.
