SOME WELD ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND COST REDUCTIONS:
1. Imperial / Esso Oil, Cold Lake Alberta, Canada. Requested by Imperial Oil to provide manual and automated MIG - flux cored process control training. I trained their stick pipe welders to accept the use of the MIG / flux cored process on their pipe line and shop applications. I then trained these welders on the use of automated MIG / flux cored on steam / natural gas / oil pipes ranging from 10 to 100 cm diameters. The total annual weld savings generated from the training with the 37-field crew has been approximately
$2 million annually.
2. Provided Robot MIG Weld Process Control Training Program for Magna the world's largest tier one supplier.
3. Textron: Thailand. Managed a 6 month project and developed manual / automated MIG / flux cored weld procedures and repair techniques for weld repairs on 160 Textron Stingray Army Tanks. (275.000 tensile armor plate).
4. Combustion Engineering.
[1] I established unique "robot" pulsed MIG nickel weld procedures for overlay boiler walls.
[2] Set robots to pulsed MIG boiler headers to pipes, (typically carried out by skilled GTAW welders).
5. Aker. Philly Naval Ship Yard. Oil Tanker Construction. Introduced to the yard Best Weld Practices and developed a one day flux cored weld process control training module. Within six months, this training program reduced the ship weld rework by 50% which resulted in an approximate of cost reduction of four million dollars per ship.
6. General Dynamics Ordinance and Tactical Systems. TX. Improved the` weld quality / productivity on 2000 bomb casings.
Recent Employment Contracts:
