SAC Incorporated
Design Engineer
OVERVIEW
This is one of the many projects I did for SAC Incorporated as a Jr. Project Engineer.
The Design Layout process included these steps:
Contract review to understand scope of work and standards SAC adheres to, such as some of the ASTM standards by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).
Plan and preparation of design support layout for water treatment pipes, which include understanding of pipe processes, pressure points, compression & decompression of pipes and account for such with pipe supports.
Support layout by choosing the right support per certain applications.
Review and redline plans after I received them back from the CAD team.
Prepare calculations per templates created by the Engineering team and make any updates if calculations require so (this step, combined with the previous step, take a few tries to get it correct, depending on the review process and updates from Engineering & CAD teams).
Submit for final review by licensed engineer and make any updates if needed.
Submit to client and refine based on their feedback.
