Transmission System Corrective Maintenance Program and Guy Grounding Safety Insulation Project (2018-2020): Program Manager responsible for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing of corrective maintenance program that improves the overall system reliability and ensures the safety of the general public across the Atlantic City Electric Service Territory. Over 100 transmission circuits were impacted. Requires significant coordination to ensure all easements, road permits, and environmental access, and time of restrictions are identified and accounted for, and communicated as part of job packages that were executed by eight contractor transmission line crews simultaneously.
NJDOT Route 44 Transmission Line Relocation at Raccoon Creek (August 2017 – October 2018): Project manager and lead responsible engineer for utility relocation design and coordination of construction activities with NJDOT and their prime contractor to ensure there was no delay to NJDOT project execution. All work was performed in accordance with company standards as well as the conditions stipulated in the environmental and access permits obtained by NJDOT for purpose of the overall project.
Garden State Park Transmission Line Temporary Relocation (July 2018 – February 2019): Project manager and lead responsible engineer for the utility relocation design and coordination of construction activities with NJTA and NJ State Police to support temporary road closures for wire pulling activities and obtaining license to cross from the Authority.
Great Egg Harbor River 138kV Transmission Crossing (2017-2020): Responsible Engineer for the replacement of dual 138kV circuits crossing the GEH River with five in-water structures/foundations. Performed an in-depth review of the foundation design, development of supplemental pile and foundation construction specifications, and overall construction means and methods for the in-water foundations. This resulted in identifying many potential constructability and design challenges before the project was released to bid/construction and ultimately prevented significant change orders and construction delays.
Absecon Island/Atlantic City 69kv Sources Rebuild (August 2017 – April 2020): Lead responsible engineer for the rebuild of (3) 69kV transmission lines 4 miles in length, through environmentally sensitive wetlands to supply power to Absecon Island/Atlantic City. This project required extensive geotechnical investigation and foundation design to properly size and spot structures due to the poor existing soil conditions. Additionally, due to the impact of the overall transmission system and environmental impact to the wetlands, a detailed construction sequencing and means/methods plans had to be developed to ensure all requirements of ACE’s blanket NJDEP permit as well as project specific NJDEP 5G3 construction stormwater permit, Soil Conservation District permit, Army Corp of Engineers permit and SJTA crossing permit needed for project execution, were addressed.
Mickleton Substation and 69kV Sources Rebuild and By-pass (September 2017 – May 2020): Lead responsible engineer responsible for coordinating selective overhead and underground 69kV transmission sources as well as the by-pass of the Mickleton Substation, to support system stability during the execution of substation 69kV/12kV rebuild. Due to the site condition outside of substation property, significant coordination was needed to identify all wetland and drainage impacts inside of the substation and obtain project specific NJDEP permits and Soil Conservation District permit.
Salem Nuclear Generating Station Structures Monitoring Program (2013-2017): Utility Program Manager and lead inspector for Structural Monitoring Program inspections for Maintenance Rule & License Renewal commitments for Salem Unit 1 & Unit 2. Included outage and non-outage inspections of civil structures. Inspection included team badged for UA and work inside of RCA and contaminated areas.
Salem Unit 1 & 2 Reactor Internal Baffle Former Bolt Inspection and Replacement (2015-2017): Engineering Manager responsible for the development of analysis and decision-making matrix to review submersible ultrasonic testing results and determined the acceptable bolt replacement pattern that would allow the unit to operate safely for the next 18-month operation cycle.

Salem Unit 1 &2 500kV Main Power Transformer Replacement (Jan 2016 – June 2017): Responsible Engineering Manager for all technical diagrams, design drawings and analysis to support the removal/installation of main power transformers including: evaluation and modification of existing foundations, heavy hauling plan/buried utility assessment, fire protection/suppression system and environmental containment structures.
Salem Unit 1 & 2 Chiller Replacement and Digital Controller Upgrade (May 2016 – June 2017): Lead cross functional team that developed the design change package to replace all (6) safety related chillers. The project impacted all safety related mechanical systems in the plant and control room. The habitability upgrade from analog to digital controls added a significant level of complexity and scrutiny from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission due to the additional failure modes and potential vulnerability of plant control systems with the introduction of new critical digital assets.
Salem 1 & 2 Service Water Discharge Project (July 2015 – Jun 2017): Lead responsible engineer responsible for the development of an innovative construction plan to provide access to (4) buried safety related water discharge pipes. All 40 pipes required independent support from a 60’ x 40’ sheet pile/helical anchor shoring system and overhead by a modular concrete tornado missile shield system. The project also required the installation of ground water monitoring wells due to impact to onsite contaminated ground water plume which was being impacted by dewatering activities from project excavation.
Salem Unit 2 Emergent Reactor Coolant Pump Seal Replacement Project (March 2015 – June 2015): Responsible for the structural review and assessment of all rigging/lifting points, evaluation of temporary rigging/lifting structures, review of existing reactor containment internal wall and floor loading capacity and coordination of equipment staging/location to maintain structural integrity of the Reactor Containment structure.
Salem Unit 1 & 2 Intake Structure Refurbishment Project (2013-2016): Lead Responsible Engineer providing all necessary design calculations, project drawings, and technical support for repairs/replacement of all pipe supports, equipment foundations, and compartmental flood barriers/seals that prevented the entire structure from flooding if any one of four bays experienced a failure.
