Skils
Developed a method of installing mechanical seals on fuel pump drive shafts. This eliminated persistent seal failures
Monitored the, construction, commissioning and accepted delivery of three new ocean going vessels, from builders for vessel owners.
Accepted responsibility for a troubled international project and built an effective team, completing the project successfully within budget and ahead of schedule.
Analyzed Civil Facilities for adequacy and completeness, for the Lead Underwriters of a major civil works project, ensuring all claims were fortuitous.
Developed and implemented a statistical analysis program to evaluated engineering insurance claims, reducing unwarranted claims by over 90%.
Analyzed the losses for a potentially uninsurable facility and recommending preventative maintenance program, maintaining insurability and reducing losses 100%.
Developed and implemented training program to ensure pressure vessel welders met all NDT requirements, improving, production quality and reducing repair of welds by about 75%.
Analyzed and implemented innovative solution to a civil works claim, reducing settlement by 90%.
Analyzed and identified engineering and material defects in a new boiler construction, saving insurance company claim pay out of $0.5M.
Investigated and coordinated corrections to a $12.5M loss claim, generating early resolution of claim and avoiding additional litigation or fees.
Mediated the dispute, between insured and insurers over machinery breakdown claims, maintaining positive client relationship and saving underwriters 30% of claim.
Completed negotiations with the insured to reassess method of placing 200t concrete blocks for new sea wall.
Successfully reduced a claim for repair and replacement of four eight hundred ton chiller units, saving insurers $100k.
Planned and executed construction and relocation of new structural steel fabrication facility with an accelerated period of six weeks, maintaining uninterrupted operation and production. Avoided business disruption.
Set up a QA/QC system for structural steel fabrication, complying with ISO 9001, leading to ISO certification.
Fabricated four thousand four hundred tonne’s of structural steel work, for a major project, below cost of imported steelwork. Saving the main contractors from delay in completion of project.
Suggested and implemented a method of locating and assessing heat loss from six 125 MW turbo-generators. This resulted in the company being able to develop an accurate assessment of the heat loss and a method to reduce this to an acceptable level, without loss of generation.
Mediated, dispute between insured and insurers over machinery breakdown claim, while maintaining positive client relationship and saving underwriters 30% of claim.
Devised method for installing mechanical seals on pump shafts. This increased reliability of seals and reduced failure rate to approach zero.
