17 years of piping experience: Design & stress analysis in the oil & gas, power, fertilizers and utilities industries

To obtain a position of responsibility where my education and experience will be utilized in a career opportunity as an active part of a multinational company.

Jun. 07 – Present
DAR AL-HANDASAH
RESIDENT / SENIOR PIPING ENGINEER

Pearl Project – Integrated District Cooling Plant (Qatar)
Doha Site Office (Resident Engineer)

Duties and responsibilities:
- Reviewed piping design drawings for the chiller plant (130,000 TR). {The biggest worldwide}
- Approved piping materials proposed by the contractor.
- Followed up all site activities related to the chilled water network (50 Km x 2).
- Verified the stress analysis study performed by the contractor.

Jan. 07 – May 07
Rafiq Hariry International Airport Rehabilitation (Lebanon)
Beirut Site Office (Resident Engineer)

Duties and responsibilities:
- Supervised the revamp of two fuel tanks (6000 m3 each).
- Selected required accessories (level gauges, radar system, floating arms, etc.)
- Followed up tank construction, leak testing as well as painting activities

Dec. 04 – Dec. 06
Beni-Haroun Pipeline Project (Algeria)
Mila Site Office (Resident Engineer)

Duties and responsibilities:
- Reviewed fabrication procedures of 2.2 & 2.4 m diameter steel pipes (API 5L X65 PSL2) having thicknesses ranging between 19 & 31 mm.
- Supervised all fabrication steps and testing upon completing the following: Plate chamfering, rolling, welding, blasting, painting & coating.
- Followed up ditching and welding activities in trench.

Feb. 03 – Nov. 04
Jabal Al-Kalaa Project (Mecca, Saudi Arabia)
Cairo Office (Senior Piping Engineer)

Duties and responsibilities:
- Designed an 85 m vertical chilled-water pipe-riser (60” with differential temperature 400 C to be assembled by flexible couplings) along with a 1000 m long underground line having the same characteristics {Supporting & Stress Analysis}. In course of studying the vertical riser, differential settlement between building floors had to be taken into consideration along with the pipe contraction in determining the initial gap of each flexible coupling. Also, the effect of the internal pressure on the pipe elongation during shutdown had to be considered in the type of support to be utilized.
