Arnold Engineering Development Complex
DOD Test Facility
Engineered and managed contracts for over 110 million dollars of upgrades to this world-class aerospace test facility. The projects included re-engineering and replacing jet engine and rocket engine exhaust coolers, upgrading the central gas-fired steam boilers, and installing a one-of-a-kind high-pressure air heater. These projects required close coordination with DoD client and all craft labor on the field. Efforts included asbestos abatement, concrete re-work, pipe fitting, lifting operations, electrical, controls, insulation, road paving, and paint.
Various coal and nuclear plant decommissioning and demolition projects
NVEnergy Reid Gardner, APS Four Corners, APS Cholla, PG&E Humboldt Bay U3, and SJRPP Jacksonville. Advised the owner of engineered solutions for isolating plant systems for decommissioning and demolition. Vetted and selected contractors to perform demolition for all aspects of the plant including the power block, conveyor systems, cooling towers, ash ponds, switch yard, stacks, and water systems.
