Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Newport Beach, CA. Structural Design of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System, Marsh Landing Generating Station, California.
MAN Diesel Canada, Design of the cooling system for a 49MW power plant running on Heavy Fuel Oil.
Bruce A Nuclear power generating station, Ontario, Canada. Design and seismic qualification of a Rapid Deployment Module (RDM). The RDM will be mounted on the Reactor Area Bridge (RAB) for reactor maintenance activities with the fuelling machine carriage removed. The RDM is intended to carry and protect workers performing the West Shift procedure on Bruce A Unit 3 fuel channels
Evaluation of snow drift and snow accumulation on flat roof loading due to installation of Solar panels. This evaluation was performed for a commercial building in Bracebridge, Ontario. The solar photovoltaic panels are to be mounted on flat roof. Each panel is elevated on four steel posts; two short front posts of 3 feet height, and two back posts of 6 feet height. The direction of inclination of the cells as well as the windward effect on the formation of the snow drift below the solar panel was taken into considerations.
Babcock and Wilcox Canada, Boiler Island, Suralaya Steam Power Plant, Indonesia. Three dimensional dynamic analysis of the structure supporting a 600MW coal fired boiler and related equipment. Derivation of ground and floor response spectra for the structure. Complete detailed design of the boiler house including platforms, vertical and horizontal bracing, beams and columns. Instrumental in reducing the steel weight from 20000 tonnes to 18000 tonnes. Involved in co-ordination of work with steel fabricator and preparation of detailed bill of material, fabrication and erection specification for the boiler structure and coal silos.
Ontario Hydro, Lambton Thermal Generating Station Rehabilitation. Design of new main control room, dock hopper facility and water treatment facility. Design of structural steel and reinforced concrete supporting different equipment and vessels including the stacker reclaimer track. Design of reinforced concrete dyke wall and slab containment of fuel tanks. Three dimensional analysis of the boiler suspension structure.

Renovation of a warehouse building in Edison, NJ.
Babcock and Wilcox Canada, Salahuddine Steam Power Plant. Preliminary design and structural steel weight estimate of the boiler island.
Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd, Korean nuclear power plant. Nonlinear heat transfer and stress analysis of piping components.
Petro Canada Products, Oakville Refinery, Design of piperack and miscellaneous equipment foundations. Finite element analysis of the reactor shell. Heat transfer and stress analysis of an asphalt tank.
Petro Canada Products, Clarkson Refinery, Seismic analysis and wind induced oscillation analysis of 180' tall stack with inside brick lining. Helical spoilers were used to reduce vibration.
Research and Development program to reduce the fabrication cost of large size industrial ductwork and platework. The program consisted of a numerical solution using finite element analysis and a full experimental program. A series of 6 tests were performed. In each test, strain gauges and LVDT were attached to locations of interest. Then, the strains and vertical and horizontal deflections were recorded as a function of the applied loads. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results were then performed and the FEA model was calibrated. A video is available showing the progress of the experiment. Fabrication cost reduced by 3%.
Developing a new structural system. Working on the development of a new structural system. The system will be fabricated out of steel plates. The objective of the new system is to maximize the shop work and minimize the field erection work. The system has additional advantages over the conventional system and will result in an overall reduction in cost.
FCCU Revamp, Irving Oil Refinery, Saint John, New Brunswick. Modification and strengthening of existing precast concrete piperack to support additional piping and cables. Three dimensional analysis of existing multilevel reactor regenerator structure to accommodate new reactor. Design of foundations for towers varying in height from 20 to 140 feet.
