DEON SWANEPOEL CAREER SUMMARY My experience in the drawing office is as follows:- Material Engineering, wall thickness calculations, line specification development, technical bid analysis and material selections.- Supervisory work on projects including supervising of a team of senior and junior designers.- Checking of piping plans, isometrics and squad checking of vendor drawings.- Design work includes assisting in developing of Plot plans, piping layouts and vessel orientation. - Field support, this includes site instructions, as-built mark-ups and general site assistance.- PDS support on various projects. This includes the coding of specs, standard assemblies and special items. I was also involved in the solving of problems with isometric extraction.January 2001- MATERIAL ENGINEERINGPresent Fluor Daniel South Africa 1 Kikuyu rd Sunninghill South Africa- Performing wall thickness calculations, drafting of new line class specifications, controlling and updating the Material managing system.- Technical analysis for all tenders in the piping department.- Receiving in-house training as a materials engineer and stress engineer.December 1998- PRINCIPAL PIPING DESIGNERJanuary 2001 Fluor Daniel Southern Africa Secunda 2302 - Designing of new plant on PDS for Merisol Depitcher plant at SASOL 2. This involves a new Column, reboiler, pumps, exchangers, all new pipework, control stations etc. Also involve with the layout of all the equipment and PDS support.- PDS Support Solving problems and coding specs as an ongoing function throughout the project as well as on the other projects running simultaneously in the office.- Supervising the design of small projects. This included new pumps, tie-ins, resizing of existing lines, OBL line etc. - Fast track designing and checking – SASOL 2 & 3 Designing of horizontal liquid flare system(first ever on a refinery site in SA) at SASOL 2 - Revamp design work, site assistance and problem solving during construction Alcohol dehydration project – one of the fastest track projects Fluor has ever undertaken. - Designing of lines between Sasol 2 & 3 Designing and site assistance of transfer lines, pumps and control stations. - Section leader over four apprentice draughtsman Supervising, designing and checking for Shutdown at ENGEN (Durban). - Attending of HAZOP studies as lead piping designer on small projects.October 1998- SENIOR DESIGNER – PETROCHEMICAL PIPINGNovember 1998 Megchem Projects Secunda 2302-Designing and modeling of new Water purification Plant at Tutuka Power Station with AutoPlant.- Designing Water purification plant with PVC and stainless steel pipes.- Designing of HDPE water handling pipelines.April 1998- SNR. DESIGNER - PIPING (CAD SUPPORT)September 1998 Foster Wheeler Thailand 217 Moo 12, Sukhapiban 8 road Tungsukhla, Sriracha Cholburi 20230 Thailand- Problem solving in PDS This was ongoing through the project and involved solving of any spec related problems encountered in PDS during modeling.- Training in PDS spec coding Prepared training material and presented a 20 hours introduction course.- Coding (PAL) of standard assemblies for PDS Working with specific disciplines to set the standards for vents, drains pressure and temperature connections. Coding these standard assemblies, in PDS, for the use by all designers.- Spec coding Initial coding of all different line classes with all the specific components. This includes all the relevant tables for Glass lined, PP lined and jacketed piping.- Isometric production control Controlling isometric production from initial extraction, through checking, stress analysis, MTO and 2D annotation up to final issue for construction. (approx. 2400 ISO’s)- 2D annotation Annotating of PDS ISO’s as final stage before issue. Acting as senior checker for 2D annotation group.September 1997- PIPING DESIGN – PETROCHEMICAL PIPINGMarch 1998 Foster Wheeler South Africa Midrand South Africa- Drawing of plot plan, GA’s and elevations for new plant at CALTEX. (Microstation)- Piping studies and transpositions for initial MTO and client approval.- Detail drawing of new columns with platforms and ladders.(Microstation)April 1996- DRAUGHTSMAN – PETROCHEMICAL PIPINGAugusts 1997 Megchem - SASOL 2&3 Secunda 2302 South Africa- Designing and modeling of new and existing plants in Auto-Plant. One of which was a deaerator plant for SASOL 2&3; this also involved symmetrical piping.- Drawing of mechanical equipment and 2D iso’s.
