Pipeline Maintance
Most Recent: Excavation of pipelines to evaluate anomalies on pipelines. This involves cleaning of old coating by hand buffer or in most cases sand blasting is needed......once cleaned the line will be evaluated for repairs, re-coat or mechanical weld sleeve be added. Also we have excavated pipelines to add test leads for monitoring cathodic protection system. I have been involved on many pipeline re-conditioning projects in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas areas.
Fabrications of new pipelines to and from collection tanks, loading stations for trucks, mostly assist with welding process, hydro testing and installation or bolt up of piping.
Past work history: In 1987, I started with Enerpipe Construction hydro testing of a pipeline from Cushing Ok. to Woodriver Il. Many projects with the Koch construction crew in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Baltimore Maryland, North and South Carolina, New Mexico.
Telecommunications: From 1995 to 2007 I was employed by WorldCom communications, starting on construction side but worked my way into phone switch room. Programming of phones, faxes, on a Nortel SL100 switch. I was also responsibly for LAN lines in house. WorldCom collapsed due to a massive $11 billion accounting fraud, where executives inflated profits.
