Project QC Spark J&J
QC Spark was the ground-up development of a state-of-the-art Quality Control lab at Johnson & Johnson’s Small Molecule Athens, GA campus. This lab not only complied with local ASHRAE codes, but it utilized bespoke, ergonomic equipment designs for improved analysts health and productivity. As Project Manager, I led the design and development of this 13,000 sq. ft. facility for testing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), from design development through to the movement of nearly 350 pieces of qualified laboratory instruments. The project was successfully completed on time and within budget while navigating the complexities of construction within an operational campus while providing zero downtime to production.
Project New Start J&J
Project New Start at Johnson & Johnson’s Athens, GA campus built a new chemical plant which produces an oxidizing agent for their absorbable hemostat product line. The largest challenge for this construction was adhering to J&J’s extremely high quality standards within compliance of ASME B31.3 process piping code. The process piping scope consisted of over 7,000 schedule 40 austenitic stainless steel welds within nearly 12,000 linear feet of pipe. As Project Manager, I led the design, review, owner’s inspection, and commissioning of this plant, ensuring adherence to ASME B31.3 and ASME BPVC Section V testing standards. The project also involved commissioning and executing engineered studies on autogenous weld minimum thickness variability using Schedule 40 stainless steel seamless pipe, enhancing long-term reliability and compliance.
Lenape High School
The Lenape High School Chiller and Boiler Plant Renovation project focused on upgrading the facility’s HVAC infrastructure to improve efficiency and capacity. As the Design & Project Engineer, I led the design and installation of a new chiller plant, increasing building capacity by 20% without expanding the plant footprint. The project was carefully phased to maintain minimum required capacity, ensuring uninterrupted operation throughout construction.
CHOP Chiller Plant
The CHOP Chiller Plant project was a multi-phase hospital expansion supporting the growth of CHOP’s downtown Philadelphia campus. As the Design & Project Engineer, I led the design and installation of a 12,000-ton cooling plant within a high-rise hospital expansion, ensuring reliable and efficient cooling capacity to support critical healthcare operations.
MM Metals
The MM Metals project involved designing a heat rejection and cooling plant for the first ferrochrome-producing facility in the United States. As the Design & Project Engineer, I collaborated with the owner and design-build contractor to develop a packaged pumping station capable of efficiently removing heat from a large jacketed furnace, ensuring optimal operational performance for this proprietary steel pilot plant.
