With the senior project engineer I conducted the
tests and compilation of the HVAC air flow rates and pressurisation data during a
Hazardous Areas Study on Shell’s Auk North Sea platform.
Followed by a study of the results,
to compile modification suggestions for implementation during the forth coming platform
life extension refit.
Also a similar study on Marathon's
Brae A, Brae B and Brae East platforms which had various diferent HVAC systems
incorporated they all had to be modified to an open free flow ventilation in the process
areas rather than an enclosed positive pressure system.

Experience
Originally from a
shipbuilding background, I have considerable and varied experience in Marine
& Offshore Design and possess a disciplined approach including the
motivation to work without supervision or as a member of a project team
dedicated to the ultimate goal.
I have been very
fortunate to have been given the opportunity to gain in depth experience in a
variety of other disciplines one of which has been HVAC in both the Shipbuilding
and Offshore Industries.
In 1975 I worked
on the layout & fabrication detailing for the drilling & process areas
on the SEDCO 471 Drillship in Halifax, Nova Scotia, followed in 1985 at Deborah
Services on Tyneside when I handled the fabrication detailing on three process
modules for Marathons Brea B platform.
The following
year I was engaged by Cape Contracts also on Tyneside to do a similar project
including the Plant Room layout & structural support design, when BP
retained my services till load out for installation trouble shooting on their
South East Forties platform modules on Teesside
In 1988 I visited
Durban in South Africa to assist with the set-up of DSL Contracts offshore
division who were also engaged in the Fire Wall design, fabrication &
erection as well as the HVAC and resulting interface with A0, A60 and H120 walls
and doors.
Cape Contracts
recalled me in 1991 to handle the process & accommodation systems on the
Saltire, Tiffany, Piper B and Ravenspurn platforms often working from and
modifying the Flow Line Diagrams as the projects progressed.
In 1992 valuable
experience was gained with trips offshore to the Piper B platform during its
final stages of HVAC Commissioning leading up to the production of first oil.
During 1993 I visited Abu Dhabi for Booth Industries to supervise the erection
of A60 & H120 Firewalls for final certification.
Further
commissioning was handled in Holland on the drilling facilities of the Alba
Project prior to load out, followed by a trip to the Shell Auk platform to
investigate area pressurisation differentials to compile a report on the safety
standards with recommended modifications
