Key Projects

Multiple Projects, Owner, EGEngineering

• San Francisco City vendor providing radiological security instruction and equipment selection to Bay Area law enforcement agencies.  Proposed off-the- shelf design and installation of large area scintillation detectors for escort pilot ships.  Recommended the selection of personal dosimeters for police. 
• Established a metal fabrication facility for Cybernet Art Productions. Project subtasks included - equipment selection, floor plan layout, high voltage wiring, installation and training.  Interacted with art staff to select proper mills, lathes, sheet metal and welding machines.
• Conducted underwater field tests for SERDP funded unexploded ordnance tomographic experiment.  Provided ordnance engineering support, watercraft, lodging and prototype fabrication and repair.
• Submitted innovative technologies proposal to improve shipscrapping.  Provided the National Environmental Education Training Center (NEETC) a report identifying and explaining ten new technologies to be applied to ship dismantling.  Ideas included the “FireRazor” incendiary paste, high explosive cutting applications, acoustical ship imaging, laser bulk block breaking, laser smelter sizing and underwater ship destruction.
• Working with former “Spetsnaz” military forces in Eastern Europe and Central Asia assisting individuals establish veteran owned small businesses (via State Department). Hosting and participating in engineering projects to include: WMD interdiction, radiological monitor deployment, tomographic toxic plume identification, bio-remediation of explosives, and maritime police training.
• Hosted Azerbaijani Maritime Border Guards in Sausalito.  Assisted with maritime training, cultural interaction and future mission planning.
• Providing environmental engineering services for: San Pablo Yacht Harbor, Richmond, CA (dredging, hazardous waste management, sensitive wetlands maintenance and regulatory interface), HALO Group, Clayton CA (Improvised Explosive Device (IED) training, firearms range maintenance, property cleanup), Chabot Rod and Gun Club, Berkeley CA (firearms range construction and maintenance)

• Engineer in charge of experimental tomographic (underground imaging) proof of technology field tests.  Under direction from LLNL successfully located a petroleum plume coming from a US Navy jet fuel storage tank in San Diego.  Successfully located underground storage tanks and concrete vaults at Camp Parks, Dublin CA.
• Engineer in charge of tomographic location of buried ordnance at radioactive bomb disposal site, Eglin AFB, FL.
• Counter terrorism engineer at Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.  Successfully predicted the presence of large caliber stand off weapons and caches of ammunition.
• Engineer in charge of Grand Canyon radiological survey team.  Successfully lead a four person team 1600ft. down the face of the Grand Canyon to characterize the extent of radiological contamination from a DOE mine.  Continuing to propose innovative methods to mitigate site to include: silent demolition of mine structures with “FireRazor” and electro – explosives and LLNL developed computer monitoring.

• Organized and was the project engineer in charge of a tomographic research project. Using Electrical Impedance Tomography, Naval Environmental Detachment personnel, under the direction of the Geophysics Department at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, have produced three-dimensional images of unexploded ordnance. The focus of the project is to attempt to obtain images under reinforced concrete buildings with resolution of a quality to confirm the presence or absence of ordnance items. The EIT system has been used in commercial applications by EGEngineering.
• Prepared a feasibility study for the application of “Dynamic Steam Stripping” at a petroleum-contaminated site at Mare Island. The DSS process, developed at LLNL, uses injected steam, oxidation agents, and ERT to in-situ mitigate the petroleum contaminants. 
• Proposed the use of pulse laser technology for the removal of surface coatings at ship scrapping facilities at Hunters Point and Mare Island Shipyards. 
• Exploring a cooperative/training experiment with U.C. Davis using a bacterium to mitigate MTBE in-situ. 
• Preparing to perform sampling and remediation of difficult environmental sites using Special Operations personnel who have unique skills and endurance capabilities. 
• Preparing and organizing the advanced training and logistical support of special Rapid Assessment Initial Detection (RAID) teams. 

• Developed all closure, cleanup, and restoration work, including organizing, planning, administering, scheduling, coordinating, directing, and overseeing all environmental-related projects under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Plan that was not completed prior to the base closure of Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Estimated costs and oversaw expenditures necessary for accomplishing this work, periodic surveillance of ongoing work to ensure compliance to technical requirements, and to certify technical requirements are met upon work completion. 
• Directed the performance of a variety of special environmental engineering assignments characterized by frequently recurring complexities such as non-applicability of established criteria and technical precedents, inadequacy of data, and conflicting controversial related projects or groups. 
• Provided information for formulation of the budget as it relates to the Engineering Office, prepares requests and justifications for additional funds, as necessary, continually overseeing and controlling budget expenditures and justifying any required increases.

• Supervised 30 engineers and technicians who managed various programs for Mare Island Naval Shipyard. 
• Programs included hazardous waste management (characterization, packaging, storage, shipment, and recordkeeping), operation of three Part B storage facilities, emergency response team technical guidance, and polychlorinated biphenal (PCB) replacement. 
• Served on the remediation, mixed (radioactive and hazardous) waste management, municipal garbage program, and above ground storage tank program. 
• As supervisor, was responsible for the technical and fiscal adequacy of the earlier mentioned programs. 
• Primary point of contact for the shipyard during environmental inspections with local, state, and federal regulatory agencies. In this capacity, led the shipyard through three annual and five surprise inspections. 
• Although the nuclear shipyard was in the process of a BRAC closure none of the inspections resulted in any significant fines, and was twice given awards for the outstanding performance of the shipyard.

Hazardous Waste, Mare Island Naval Shipyard, CA, U.S. Navy, Program Manager
Managed ten personnel responsible for the oversight of all hazardous waste generated on the shipyard. Served as the engineer in charge of the spill response team that responded to land and water releases of hazardous materials including oil skimming recovery operations.

Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, U.S. Navy, Shift Test Engineer
Trained for one year, and served as an engineer with the nuclear systems testing code. Prepared work plans and supervised the execution of systems operation checks on submarines and ships of the fleet for the U.S. Navy.
