Summary of Expertise:  CORROSION PROTECTION USING CATHODIC PROTECTION

More than seventeen (17) years of work experience in cathodic protection engineering and completed Electrical engineering studies in year 1995. Describe below summary of works experience.

Recently worked for one construction company, Skylines Construction Company specializing in cathodic protection engineering as CP Specialist leading group of CP engineers and technicians. Previously work four (4) years in SABIC Technology Center as cathodic protection engineer till 2006. During those periods, practice in cathodic corrosion engineering was very extensive and responsible for providing technical support for SABIC Affiliate Companies corrosion mitigation systems. The primary work is to provide investigative report and studies, validate and commission new systems, design engineering, prepare reports outlining recommendation and corrective measures to mitigate corrosion using cathodic protection. After 4 years working with SABIC, transferred to Kuwait to perform long-term contract with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) thru Rawabi Company. The works covers broader area in corrosion practice managing the entire oil production facilities cathodic protection. Work as senior cathodic protection engineer, leading a group of engineers, supervisors, and technicians performing daily task such as system monitoring and maintenance, conducting specialized survey such as DVCG/CIPS,AC/DC stray current studies and mitigation, troubleshooting malfunctioning systems and prepare CP system design.

Three (3) years of extensive experience in electrical engineering. Involved direct as an engineer and completed various electrical maintenance and constructions projects in of Oil production Facilities, Steel Plant and industrial facilities. Practice includes material take-off estimation, bid preparation, documentations, supervision and project management. During project implementation, responsible for the allocation of manpower and materials requirement by projects. Attend meeting with client or consultant discussing the progress, installation methods, and settle any design discrepancy and perform electrical design as work required.

Co-authored several technical papers related to cathodic protection engineering.
