In the recent five years, I joined a team to provide engineering service to Imperial Oil Strathcona Refinery, which ranged from small repairs to significant revamps. When working on the maintenance projects, I focused on minimizing the impact to the existing structures and non-structural objects; and personally visited the site to verify the practical conditions. When preparing my calculations, I closely followed the Codes/Standards/Guides as well as the client’s Practices. This is done to avoid disagreements from the engineers who checked my calculations, especially the ExxonMobil engineers in USA who carried out their NPQC checking procedures.

I also participated in the Suncor Voyageur Project and the ConocoPhillips Surmont Phase 2 Project located in Fort McMurry, Canada. I dedicated myself in increasing the efficiency and assuring the accuracy of the project. For example, when designing the piling foundation of the Exchanger 2 Structure for the ConocoPhillips Surmont Phase 2, I created a Mathcad file linked with the reactions of the superstructure generated by STAAD. Once the STAAD file was updated, reactions could be exported and my calculations were updated with little to no manual interaction, including piling group response in ULS, SLS, and concrete cap design.
