Position: ENGINEER / DESIGNER
I HAVE SERVED IN FACILITES DESIGN FOR MANY PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS.
1996 I DESIGNED SECURITY INSTALLATIONS AND PATRON MANAGEMENT FOR THE 1996 OLYMPICS.
I DESIGNED LAYOUT OUT EQUIPMENT FOR SIEMENS GA 400 FACILITY, AS WELL AS THE MARS- WRIGLEY FACILTY.
I ALSO DID A "ROOM NUMBERING" PROJECT FOR THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. I DO HAVE DWGS OF THE "GA DOME" AND "WORLD CONGRESS CENTER" IN ATLANTA AS WELL. BUT PREFER NOT TO SHOW TO ASSURE GOOD STANDING AND LESS CHANCE FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. (SECURITY AND SAFETY)

THE ATLANTA AIRPORT ROOM NUMBERING PROJECT WAS TO RENUMBER ALL THE ROOMS AROUND ALL OF THE AIRPORT. I TEND NOT TO SHOW TOO MUCH DETAIL SO NO ONE CAN REVERSE ENGINEER OR GET TOO CLEAR OF A LAYOUT OF ANYTHING.
I UNDERSTAND THE SECURITIY ISSUES INVOLVED AND WOULD RATHER NOT RISK LOSING THE TRUST OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS. BUT NEED TO ASSURE YOU I HAVE WORKED ON MAJOR PROJECTS AND CAN BE TRUSTED.
THIS WAS LEFT UNFINISHED BECAUSE - I RAN INTO ISSUE WITH DRAWINGS I WAS SUPPLIED- HAVING HIDDEN LINKS TO OTHER SOFTWARE I WAS NOT INFORMED OF. CAUSING MY COMPUTER TO OFTEN CRASH. BUT MANY ROOMS WERE ACCOMPLISHED ON A CONTRACT BASIS.
I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO ASSURE I HAVE ALL INFORMATION AND RUN TESTS BEFORE DOING ANY CONTRACT WORK. I STILL DO SUPPORT DRAWINGS BY CONTRACT AND ASSURE YOU OF QUALITY RESULTS.
CREDIBITLY IS 1ST. BUT TRUST THAT I WILL NOT DISPLAY SENSITIVE INFORMATION ONLINE. SO THESE DRAWINGS ARE AS LIMITED AS POSSIBLE.
HERES IS AN EXAMPLE OF A RENDERING DONE IN AUTOCAD FOR A FACILTY EXTERIOR. FACILITES DRAWINGS OFTEN COVERS MANY ASPECTS OF THE FACILITIES DESIGN.
FOR EXAMPLE HERE IS AN OVERLAY OF THE PLUMBING AND DRAINS FOR A FACILTY. NAME WITHHELD. A DRAWING "LARGE SHOT" WITH "LESS DETAIL" TO ASSURE SECURITY AND RESPECT FOR THE COMPANY. BUT I DID MANAGE PLUMBING DRAWINGS.
I DID FIRE PROTECTION AS WELL MAINTAIN DRAWINGS OF FIRE EQUIPMENT, SENSORS, MED KITS, SPRINKLERS, EVERYTHING FIRE PREVENTION AND MEDICAL . DRAWINGS WERE THEN OUTSOURCED TO CONTRACTORS FOR DESIGN STUDIES.
"DOOR NUMBERING" , OFTEN WALLS AND STRUCTURES CHANGE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AND DOORS CHANGE AS WELL. BOTH IN LOCATION AND TYPE.(EXIT DOORS, OFFICE DOORS, FIRE DOORS, ROLLUPS, ETC.)
FIRE PROTECTION DID INCLUDE SPRINKLER SYSTEM, RISERS,FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, NUMBERING AND TYPE, PULL BOXES , ALL ASPECTS OF THE FACILITY NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED.
DISASTER PLANS FOR VARIOUS VENUES. THERE ARE ALSO SAFTEY DRAWINGS ON VENUES AND PPE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) SPILL STATIONS , HAZARDOUS AREA REQUIREMENTS AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERING CONTROLLED AREAS).
IN SOME CASES 3D MODELS HELP CLARIFY VISUALIZATION OF STRUCTURES OR ENVIRONMENTS. HERE IS A MODEL OF AN "ATRIUM STAIRWELL".
HERE I WAS GIVEN SOME PART DRAWINGS AND ASKED TO DESIGN A "NEW PATIO AREA" FOR DINING OUTSIDE. HERE IS A 3D MODEL OF THE DESIGN. I DID ROOM AND AREA MODELING AS WELL.
3D MODELS FOR EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION. HERE I HAD TO PLACE A PIECE OF NEW EQUIPMENT BETWEEN TWO MACHINES WHILE MATCHING AN EXISTING PIPE FROM THE CEILING AND HOLE IN THE FLOOR. WHILE MAINTAINING DISTANCE TO ALLOW EXTRACTION OF A FILTER FROM THE DEVICE.
2D DRAWINGS WERE OFTEN REQUIRED TO DESIGN AND DOCUMENT EQUIPMENT PLACEMENTS AND TRY VARIOUS ASSEMEBLY DESIGNS FOR SAFTEY, ERGONOMICS AND COST BEFORE ACTUALLY MOVING MACHINES WEIGHING TONS AROUND.
I CREATED LAYOUTS FOR OPERATION AND SPACING OF VARIOUS EQUIPMENT LINES TO SAVE COST AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS MORE EFFICIENT AND PRACTICAL.
HERE DESIGNS WERE ANALYZED FOR ERGONOMICS, SPACE FOR OPERATORS BETWEEN EQUIPMENT AND OPTIMIZE THE NUMBER OF OPERATORS NEEDED IN AN AREA TO PERFORM THE TASKS.
WHILE IN OTHER CASES, CONVEYOR SYSTEMS NEED TO MATCH "END TO END". OFTEN AT VARIOUS ANGLES TO THE FLOOR TO MEET EACH OTHER. TRIGONOMETRY TO COMPUTE ANGLES TO ASSURE MEETING AT CORRECT POINTS ELSE REDESIGN OF A CONVEYOR COULD BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING.
3D MODELS ARE OFTEN HELPFUL IN DESIGNING NEW OFFICE SETTINGS AND RENDERING TO GET A GENERAL VIEW OF APPEARANCE BEFORE DETERMINING SPACE, EQUIPMENT/FURNITURE PLACEMENT, PAINT COLORS,AND AESTETICS.
HERE IS A RENDERING OF THE ATRIUM AREA , THIS IS A "HALF RENDER" . IN THIS CASE, THE SIZE OF THE AREA AND AMOUNT OF EQUIPMENT WOULD REQUIRE A MORE POWERFUL COMPUTER FOR A FULL RENDER. SO I ONLY DID A HALF RENDER.
