The document discusses several projects involving the design and installation of hydraulic piping systems for dredging vessels. It describes utilizing 3D modeling software to design complex piping routes that incorporated field surveys and customer drawings. The projects involved managing installation in dry dock and addressing customer needs through all stages of the process. Customers were satisfied with the piping designs and layouts.
2. Utilized SolidWorks 3D Routing to design hydraulic weldless
piping system for Dynamic Positioning System integration.
Performed field surveys and used customer provided CAD
drawings to create 3D model of vessel for pipe routing.
Assisted in project management working with customer during
initial design layout and installation.
3. Responsible for hydraulic weldless piping design, for prefabrication
at Power Dynamics; and assembled on board the vessel in dry dock.
4. Performed quality
assurance checks
during production and
during assembly
installation.
Customer extremely
satisfied with piping
design and the layout
of the piping
assemblies on the
vessel.
5. Hopper Dredge: Hydraulic Piping Design
Responsible for on-site project management with design and
layout, coordinating with customer through all facets.
Designed power unit panel modification with directional control
valves to supply 18 new hydraulic supply/return lines to
slurry/knife gate valves.
New Panel on left; existing panel on right
6. Surveyed vessel in operation. Worked closely with customer to
address concerns and meet customer needs.
In dry dock, responsible for project management and design of
hydraulic piping installation.
Pipe routes designed through a maze of pre-existing piping.

7. Utilized customer provided CAD drawing to layout drag arm
hydraulic piping design.
Project management duties also included leading pipe fitters and
welders for additional work requested by customer while on site.

8. Performed field survey and layout, coordinating with
customer to discuss their requirements.
Responsible for hydraulic system (power unit and piping)
design to supply stern spud cylinders and winches.
Performed field survey and utilized customer furnished CAD
drawings to create 3D SolidWorks model of vessel structure.
Complete assembly on left; Power unit on right.

9. 3D Hydraulic piping design incorporated intricate routing, which
changed elevation through an air plenum and running under
crews quarters, clearing existing piping, to the stern of the vessel.
