Joe's Experience Summary
Has 42 years of experience in providing engineering services for power
plants, manufacturing, biotechnical, and industrial facilities. A Principal
instrumentation and controls Engineer, configuration management, and procurement expert,
he designs and implements modifications to new and operating plants and facilities.
Designs and develops systems and software for nuclear, fossil, biotechnical, industrial,
and manufacturing clients and can contribute both detailed engineering and project
management support. His instrument , control, and computer skills are transportable
to most all industries. He is the Shaw Stone & Webster corporate specialist in I&C and digital
controls, as well as many other engineering areas.
Some of the specific projects sucessfully completed are:
Is lead instument and controls engineer for the Advanced Passive 1000 MWe (AP1000)
nuclear power plants both domestic and in China. The AP1000 project is a Consortium between Shaw
Stone & Webster and Westinghouse to build two 1000 MWe Units per plant site. Currently, there are two
sites sold. Both sites are in China, at Haiyang and Sanmen, respectively. Shaw Stone & Webster has is
subcontracting some of its engineering services to SNERDI (Shanghai Nuclear Engineering & Research Design
Institute) in Shanghai, PRC.
Designed and engineered a new condensate polisher systems and building
for a power plant. The design included programmable logic control (PLC) and monitoring for
all systems. Was innovative in implementing the project as mostly electronic and
paperless. The reduction in paper and electronic creation of drawings and documents
allowed speed and convenience for review, communications, and design within Stone &
Webster and between the client and vendors.
Performed engineering reviews and owner oversight tasks for Integrated
Vehicle Highway Systems for the Big Dig and Tunnel Projects in Boston.
Developed configuration and maintenance management programs at former
Soviet Russian power plants in Ukraine and Lithuania.
Designed and engineered new Coolant Recycle Systems for the
manufacturing of jet engines. Designed and engineered Wastewater Treatment Systems at
industrial plants.
As a world expert, provided services to determine optimum methods to
detect leaks from main steam lines of power plants for "leak before break"
design requirements.
Provided services to develop total remaining value of a power plant
destroyed by fire for an insurance company.
Provided services to utilities to develop descriptions and cost of older
power plants for the purpose of selling them as a result of the electric industry
deregulation.
Provided hardware and software support functions for all PC based
computers in corporate headquarters. He has provided Help-Desk functions to answer and
solve PC software and hardware problems. Currently is a consultant to the computer
department for answering computer-related hardware, software, and application questions
for all products currently in use in corporate headquarters.
Provided due diligence reviews for clients intending to purchase a share
in a co-generation plant.
Provided engineering reviews for an insurance company to determine the
cash value of a co-generation power plant partially destroyed in a fire.
Performed engineering and design tasks for low NOx modifications to
fossil powered plants.
Designed and engineered the balance of plant control and interface
systems for a new pressurized water reactor standard plant design that is now approved by
the NRC.
Designed and engineered new and retrofit systems for existing nuclear
power plants, including redesigning technical support centers to satisfy NRC requirements.
Designed and engineered Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring Systems (ICCMS) for pressurized
water reactors, anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) systems, and control room
design reviews.
Provided demolition, decommissioning, and engineering services for a
test reactor facility. Developed detailed specifications, drawings, and construction
strategies.
Provided procurement engineering management services, including
developing engineering database programs for dedicated commercial-grade existing plant
equipment and future purchases. In addition, he can develop software, which is provided to
clients for their continuing use, to input and implement such programs.
Performed a wide variety of design and engineering tasks for utility
clients. Developed test programs for molded case circuit breakers and has designed
technical support centers incorporating computer-based control rooms and consoles; data
acquisition multiplexed systems providing NUREG-0696 emergency response facilities
outputs; and ICCMS for nuclear power plant units. Performed human factor reviews and
directed related human factor implementation programs. Prepared elementary diagrams,
one-line diagrams, panel drawings, and bills of materials.
Performed configuration management tasks at nuclear power plants.
Developed Design Basis Documents (DBDs), Topical Design Criteria (TDC), and
computerization of plant configuration data. Responsible for gathering and
documenting plant configuration data to input into new plant Emergency Response System
(ERF) computers.
Provided design, startup, testing, and de-bugging for a biotechnical
pharmaceutical facility.
Provided project design, engineering, procurement, and installation for
the Condensate Polisher Systems at a power plant. Developed control panel and equipment
skid requirements to ensure successful design, construction, and implementation of the
systems. Successfully diagnosed and "debugged" various control panel and skid
design problems and inadequacies, conflicts with station and specification requirements,
and drawing errors during the design stage, prior to manufacturing, saving costly
construction modifications and schedule delays.
Provided extensive engineering and design services for modifications to
many nuclear power plants including field changes and change requests. Prepared many types
of specifications and procurement support including technical bid evaluations and supplier
documentation reviews. Performed FSAR reviews, design input reviews, Q-List changes,
new and revised bill of materials and data sheets, and technical manual reviews.
Provided many environmental qualification tasks including seismic design input, test, and
evaluations of I&C equipment.
