Context

A new maintenance and inspection facility for Amtrak's Airo trainsets, with pre-engineered metal building steel blasted and coated offsite, then shipped to the yard for erection.

Challenge

HSS beams and columns arrived with surface rust bloom across flange and web faces. Rework had to happen in place, in an active yard, without re-blasting the structure or delaying erection.

Approach

• Supervised in-process touch-up and repair coating directed by the client
• Verified surface preparation and recoat conditions against the original system specification
• Documented each repaired member so the coating warranty position stayed intact

Outcome

Corrosion remediation completed in place under third-party verification, with a documented condition record for every repaired member.

Context

One of the largest civil programs in the Pacific Northwest: replacing the Portage Bay Bridge and building the Roanoke Lid over an active urban corridor and open water.

Challenge

Marine and land-side work running in parallel — temporary work bridges, crane base structures and finger piers — each with its own inspection regime, alongside a full ITS and electrical scope.

Approach

• Monitored piledriving, pile splicing and temporary crane base trellis construction
• Inspected north and south work bridge structures and finger piers
• Performed ITS and electrical inspections: light poles, signals, temporary lighting, above- and below-ground service

Outcome

Continuous in-house quality coverage across both marine structural and systems scopes on a live public program.

Context

In-service inspection across the refinery and port terminal: tanks, pressure vessels, piping systems, fixed and rotating equipment, all while the plant kept running.

Challenge

Integrity decisions on live equipment with no option to shut down for convenience — corrosion under insulation being the quietest and most expensive failure mode.

Approach

• Executed risk-based inspections on in-service and on-stream assets
• Conducted corrosion-under-insulation and asset integrity assessments
• Witnessed hydrostatic testing for in-service piping and new construction system upgrades

Outcome

Integrity findings delivered against API 510, 570 and 653 frameworks to support run/repair/replace decisions on operating assets.

Context

The plinth build-back phase of the East Link light rail extension, where track geometry tolerance and concrete quality determine ride quality for the life of the line.

Challenge

Coordinating pre-pour and post-pour inspection across a moving pour schedule while directing a field team of inspectors and concrete testing technicians.

Approach

• Performed pre-pour and post-pour plinth formwork inspections
• Verified rail geometry, rail torquing and thermite welding of track rail
• Supervised Intertek-PSI inspection and concrete testing personnel on site

Outcome

Managed inspection coverage through every phase of formwork, pour and post-pour verification on a mainline transit extension.

Context

Client-side quality representation across LNG plant construction and the associated high-pressure gas pipeline, gate station and main-line relocation work.

Challenge

Carrying one quality standard across construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and live operation — including tie-ins to operating high-pressure systems.

Approach

• Maintained conformance to client and industry standards through every construction and commissioning phase
• Oversaw corrosion monitoring, facility upgrades, line relocation and hot tie-ins
• Represented the owner across the LNG pipeline, Frederickson gate station and East Portland Ave. relocation projects

Outcome

Continuous owner's-representative coverage from first weld through an online, fully operational plant.

Context

Coating and chemical-resistant systems across SUBFAB, FAB, CUB5, Park 4, the UPW building and the PSSS building on a working semiconductor campus.

Challenge

Fab environments allow no tolerance for coating failure or contamination — every system had to be verified against both client and manufacturer specifications.

Approach

• Monitored substrate preparation, application and inspection at every level
• Directed non-destructive and destructive examination of applied systems
• Verified chemical-resistant coatings against client and manufacturer specifications

Outcome

Verified coating conformance across six building scopes on an operating advanced-manufacturing campus.
