Engineering Fellow
Engineering Research and Development Center, Seoul National University
Total years of experience :13 years, 4 Months
As a engineering fellow I delever lecturers on mechanical vibration, pump, fan, compressor, HVAC and etc. to design, field and O&M engineers.
During this period I provided MEP construction management services as lead consultant on New Islamabad International Airport. My job covered building MEP work including passenger terminal building, pump station, M&E Power building, substation, HVAC control, IBMS, interface with airport management system and etc. The project was design-build contract. I reviewed design analysis, specification and drawings. I reviewed and approved material and drawing submittal, Q/C, supervise field installation work. I controlled MEP work progress as well.
I worked as site field engineering manager for 6 months on problem-solving and trouble-shooting on a design-build liquid propane gas (LPG) filling plant for Hanwha Construction Co., Ltd. The project scope included 20 buildings. I reviewed the HVAC construction design for compliance with Kuwaiti codes and standards for energy projects. I prepared submittals for HVAC equipment and materials and responded to reviews by the Client’s engineer. I supervised production of shop drawings and composite drawings for fabrication and coordination. In the field I supervised construction work. The contract was FIDIC based and I reviewed contractual terms & conditions for potential claims.
I joined the KAIST-KUSTAR joint research project on energy conservation in air conditioning in Abu-Dhabi, UAE. I conducted surveys on energy consumption in various countries and applied those findings to analyze energy consumption in Abu-Dhabi suggesting technical strategies to reduce consumption by 30% in air conditioning systems.
Major points of this technical strategy included applications from the Energy Policy Act of US Government (2005). I performed load calculations, systems analysis and energy evaluation by Carrier HAP46, one of two worldwide commercially used HVAC software packages.
The US Army relocation from Yongsan in Central Seoul to Pyeongtaek south of Seoul is a major project of value $15B. On this design-build contract package I designed the underground gas distribution pipeline network over a site of approximately 24 square kilometers. I utilized gas distribution formulae from UFC-3-430-05FA for flow capacity and friction loss calculations. Size of main pipe was calculated at 20 inches. Length of main line from the pressure regulator to the end tap was 4 miles. I modified CP calculations.

I tailored the mechanical specification of Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) using SPECSINTACT for elementary and high school. I tailored sections 13.48 Seismic Protection, 22.00 Plumbing, 23.00 Air Supply, 23.05 TAB, 23.07 Thermal Insulation, 23.08 Commissioning, 23.23 Refrigerant Piping, 23.52 Boilers, 23.64 Chillers & HVAC Piping, 23.81 CRAU, 33.51 Gas Piping, 33.61 U/G Piping and 40.17 Welding for Elementary and High School (425, 000sf). For the US Army in Korea.(2009~2010) I interpreted and instructed design criteria package, ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, US Design Codes and Standards, UFCs, US products. I interpreted comments by the reviewers of KCPMC, FED, POD and prepared reply for YRP elementary and high schools. (2009~2010)
As engineer of record I provided oversight to the design, design review and sign-off of design for the military training center and children’s development center.
In this same period I undertook a training course for Carrier E20-II HAPv4.5 software in Chicago. I took classes for Load Estimation, Energy Analysis and LEED and received the completion certificate. In my work I have used HAPv4.5 software for reviewing load estimation, hourly analysis, energy budget and LEED on the YRP Elementary and High school projects. I also managed and supervised design, procurement and equipment installation on projects such as office buildings, condos, hotels, schools, stadiums, auditoriums, industrial buildings and military facilities.
I worked as HVAC construction and enginering manager for a Rolls Royce Marine Propeller manufacturing plant in Singapore. This was an HVAC system and clean room facilities.
I am licensed Mechnical Professional Engineer registered in Texas, US. License nubmer is 109034 active.
