And studying at

5. Sheffield Hallam University.

4.1 Knightec AB

I am currently working for Knightec AB. My current assignment is at Packsize AB as a Lead Engineer. I have overseen multiple projects simultaneously and correlate them by personalising tasks to help achieve all set objectives.

4.1.1 Projects

4.1.1.1 Updating all the CAD models

I have overseen updating the machine’s CAD models, PDM DataCards and SAP data to correlate with the assembly manuals and implementing a new PDM folder setup.

4.1.1.2 Spare Parts Handling System

I have also implemented a new spare parts handling system that can be used by both site engineers and operators on the go. This was achieved by altering the way of using the existing software without the need of buying any new products. Hence this allowed site engineers to have access to the 3D model on the go which allowed them to find out in a fast and efficient manner the spare part number that needs to be order right there and then. 200’000s USD were estimated to be saved as part of implementing such system.

4.1.1.3 Creating SAP Configurations

I am also in charge of creating and updating SAP configurations for machines which includes creating materials, BOMs, characteristics, dependencies, classes, configuration profiles, and routing configuration for PGPS implementation.

I have also created an automation routing program that allows users to automatically import top level BOM and Multilevel BOM from SAP to an excel spreadsheet, then users can remove sub-level phantoms and create Components’ Routing where the dependencies and component allocations are then automatically create through the tool in SAP.

4.1.1.4 Project Management

I have implemented a modelling and drawing checking procedure for CAD engineers and Draughtsman, standardised project folders and drawing issue procedures within the department. During a project, my responsibilities consisted of 3D modelling, design investigation, drawing generation and drawing checks for staff. It also includes, filling Change Management forms, executing tasks to agreed targets, and managing resources of labour, coordination with Senior Managers for setting out targets, monitoring work progress against the planned targets, creating work plans and Gantt Charts. I have also proposed and currently in process of implementing augmented reality technology to be used by their sales teams.

4.1.1.5 Implementing AR Technology

I have introduced and implemented AR technology for the sales department which allowed sales engineers to show their products on customers’ sites when pitching the products / machine. Below you can see few examples. That was also achieve without the need of purchasing any extra software or licences.


Page 12 of 54

4.1.1.7 Implementing ECTR

Packsize decided to move over from the tradition Solidworks PDM (HostPLM) to an integrated PLM to ERP system. Hence, the implementation of SAP ECTR was decided to be the best option specifically due to SAP being the standard ERP system at the company. I was responsible of project managing the implementation of the system allocating tasks and working on tasks myself like configuring the file properties and allocating SAP roles.

4.2 AMG Superalloys UK Limited

4.2.1 Projects

Project Name: 4.2.1.1 Firing Hood Cone and Diffuser

Date: 08/10/2017 (1st Trial) – 15/10/2017 (2nd Trial) - 19/11/2017 (3rd Trial)

Project Overview:

I was both the Project Manager and the Lead Design Engineer. We lose about 650 tonnes of powder during the exothermic reaction due to several facture:

- Chemical Reaction. - Fume Dust. - High Extraction Flow Rate.

I have designed the fume hood cone to be used to improve recovery and reduce pit waste. The design took into consideration maintenance and easy of install and removal. A base had to be designed and installed to reduce the space between the cone and the firing pot. After three successful trials, I opted on leaving the existing cone for a further period of time to achieve better data as previously the testing was only done for one day (Sunday) so production is not disturbed.

Photos:

Conclusion:

We have received the data from technical department and the cone is running as expected. It is still installed in there and currently planning to install all the firing hoods with a cone within the next few coming months.I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.2 ALD Pump Trial

Date: 22/12/2017

Project Overview:

I was both the Project Manager and the Lead Design Engineer. This project is intended to improve the existing system in ALD. VAS and VFE both provided us with two different systems that can be used to improve the furnace’s pumping time, one to use four booster pumps with two mechanicals and the other to use one booster pump with two mechanical pumps respectively. However, this has produced a severe problem as I needed to produce permanent pipework that could be installed during Christmas shutdown and that can allow us to use either of the both mentioned systems above at later stage, all while improving the cleaning of the pipework and increase accessibility for maintenance to the rear fan.And that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Problems:

- Consistent failure of the mechanical pump. - Filtration problems. - Maintenance accessibility problems. - Pipework cleaning problems.

Solution: Design a permanent pipework that allows us to use either of the above suggested solutions all while improving the cleaning of the pipework and increase accessibility for maintenance to the rear fan.

Photo:

Update:

New pipework has been installed during Christmas shutdown. A double Booster pump connected to a single Mechanical pumps will be installed beginning of April during ALD burn out. I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.3 Pulpit Mill Improvements and Re-Design

Date: TBC

Project Overview:

Fire prevention and health and safety issues. As both the Project Manager and the Lead Design Engineer I was involved in the improvement of two key areas within the Pulpit Mills. Firstly, the roofing, which in its current format, reflects explosive force and


Page 14 of 54

pressure back into the room. Using an open side roof at an incline forces the pressure produced by the explosion to be deflects to the sides and away from the room. Secondly the system itself is open, allowing for heavy leakage of dust and powders, increasing the likelihood of explosions as well as covering all equipment and the room in a heavy coat of dust. The solution for this is to close off the system, effectively eliminating leakage, introducing a wet extraction system and redesigning the full interior for ease of vision and housekeeping.

Photo:

Problems:

Current System have the following problems:

- Open system is prone to explosions. - Roof is leaking water. - Bad housekeeping.

Solution:

- Implement a roof design that prevents water from leaking and divert explosion to

the outside.

- Use a closed system to prevent / eliminate explosion. - Implementing a strict housekeeping procedure.

Update:

I finished designing and drawing checks. Currently sourcing quotations to finish writing the Capex.I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.4 IPSEN 2

Date: 24/07/2017 – Present

Project I am both the Project Manager and the Lead Design Engineer. This project is for expanding our ability to produce hpd chrome tablets this incorporated removing and


Page 15 of 54

Overview: disposing of 4 Balzer furnaces and creating a full production facility for a new IPSEN VUTK 524 furnace and adding an argon tank with all the pipework connection and fan replacement design.

Problems:


- More capacity was needed as we only has one IPSEN and one ALD furnace. - These two furnace already run to capacity. - When problems occur with either of the furnaces production get pushed back

significantly.

- Maintenance on both IPSEN and ALD furnace was both difficult and time consuming as not much thought went into the accessibility of the furnaces when a breakdown occurs.

Solution:

- Remove the unused Balzer furnaces and replace them with another IPSEN

furnace. - Update the buffer tank location and the positioning of the new IPSEN to allow a

more efficient breakdown maintenance. - A new project is under way to achieve a better pumping system and efficient

maintenance for ALD.

Photo:

Update: IPSEN 2 is in its last stages of commissioning. I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.5 Cooling Tower for Aluminium

Date: TBC – 05/01/2017


Page 16 of 54

Project Overview:

The cooling tower provides cooling water to the induction furnaces, in conjunction with tower 1 which was replaced in December 2015. I am the Project Manager, and I am responsible to replace the tower with the recommended latest technology (from wood to Glass Reinforced Plastic) ensuring we are legally compliant, fulfilling the HSE requirements and enable the business to have a reliable system of cooling the furnaces so minimizing downtime and expense of potential furnace damage due to overheating. I am also responsible of managing the tower disposal including the platform and redesign and install the new tower with the platform.

Problems:


- Material breaches of health & safety lawfrom the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).

- Identified as risk systems in the Approved Code of Practice L8 (ACOP L8). - Identified as risk systems with Legionnaires’ disease (the control of legionella

bacteria in water systems). - Cleaning of the wooden structure of the current system to comply with the HSE

comments is both financially and practically unviable.

Solution: Replace the current wooden structure tower with a GRP structure tower that adheres with the HSE comments and be a cheaper solution in the long run.

Update:

I have written the CAPEX and it has been approved. I am currently setting up the companies to get Purchase orders issued.I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.6 Powder Expansion

Project Overview: The aim of this project is to build a new powder processing plant for the fume dust in our Exothermic Dpt. I am both the Project Manager and the lead engineer.

Problems:


- 641 000 kg of recoverable fume dust is lost every year which could be translated to ~ 256 000 Kg of Chrome oxide.

- Costs associated with the disposal of the fume dust is relatively high.

Solution: It is proposed to recover the Chrome oxide from by using a powder processing plant for the fume dust in exo. Where then we can recover up to 256 T of Chrome dust a year all while eliminating the costs associated with the disposal of the dust.

Schematic:


Page 17 of 54

Update:

I’ve finished the process design and material selection process and I am now in the process of starting the 3D modelling of the required equipment and propose an adequate location for the new plant.I am the Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer, I am in charge of the Capex, Permit issuing, Method Statement and Risk Assessment Review, Change Management and CDM.

Project Name: 4.2.1.7 Weigh Plant Multi-Bin Implementation

Project Overview:

I am both the Project Manager and the Lead Design Engineer. This project is the improvement of the Exothermic department weigh plant to aid the production team to have redundancy in the timings of the weigh bins. I’ve suggested the incorporation of a multi bin weigh system and material loss reduction system. Which involves adding separate Aluminium feeders to improve the time required to fill the bins as Aluminium has the biggest affect on the feed rate. We will also be increasing the length of the pit where there will be multi the ability to drop multi bins to be fed simultaneously.

Problems:


- There are 5 different types of aluminium and only two aluminium feeders, hence, every time we need to use a new type of aluminium we need to change bags and that is extremely time consuming.

- The most used type of aluminium (BLS82 60% of time) has the same bag weight of 1.1 tonne as the least used type of aluminium (BLS32 8% of time)


Page 18 of 54

which makes it an extremely inefficient design.

Solution: - Adding a new Aluminium feeding system that adhere to the demand

requirements and the frequency.

Photo:

Update: This project is still within its conceptual stage. Aiming to finalise the concept by March 2018.

Project Name: 4.2.1.8 Exothermic Weigh Plant Feeding Improvements

Project Overview:

I am both the Project Manager and the lead design engineer. This project involves removing all screw feeders, relocating all weigh bags supports closer to the four main weigh feeders. Replacing the feeders will be chutes each connected to an automatic slide valve.

Problems:


- Vibratory feeders are inefficient. - A lot of wasted powder is lost during bin fills. - Breakdowns due to feeders.

Solution: - Elimination of feeders by using gravitational force.

Photo:


Page 19 of 54

Update: This project is still within its conceptual stage, however with the removal of the feeders comes a decreased chance of downtime, so the benefits are extremely apparent even at this early stage.

Project Name: 4.2.1.9 SolidWorks 2017 and Hardware Upgrade

Project Overview:

I am the Project Manager. This project was to upgrade the current dated system to allow the new design team to provide conceptual drawings and designs without delays in loading and loosing drawings the replacement of all SolidWorks software for the design team as well as the introduction of high-end laptops to aid design work. Initially the team worked with a mix of 2013 and 2016 editions, which was a large problem due to the fact that SolidWorks cannot communicate to newer editions of itself. If a team member were to save a file in 2016, someone with 2013 could not access this file. These were all updated to SolidWorks 2017 Professional. Also, the desktop pcs themselves posed a problem as they were prone to crashing, and ran most software poorly.

Problems:

The problems were:

- Lack of collaboration. - Lack of support from SolidWorks technical support when a bug is found. - Unpractical and inefficient method of modelling using the outdated hardware.

Solution: - Same package of software for all users. - Recommended / fit to use hardware specs for all user of SolidWorks.

Update:

This project is accomplished to my recommendation of both Software and Hardware. The effects of the implementation of this project were immediately noticeable. The team could more easily work with each other using SolidWorks (now being communicable between each laptop), and the new hardware had increased the overall speed and ease design work.

Project Name: 4.2.1.10 Chimney on Project Planet

Date: 11/07/2017– 20/07/2017

Project Overview:

I was the Lead Design Engineer. A solution needed to be designed for the furnace’s exhaust ducting as to reduce temperature from 1500 deg C to around 250 deg C which the manufacturer’s recommended maximum operating temperature.

Problems: Existing System had the following problems:

- Ducting could not be connected straight to the furnace as it will melt it. - Type of connection from ducting to furnace is limited.

Solution: Design a system that produces a low / high pressure effect where it automatically cools air by improving air circulation of the system.

Photo:

Update: The design was a success and still in use until now.

Project Name: 4.2.1.11 Project Toblerone

Date: 11/07/2017– 02/09/2017

Project Overview:

I was the Lead Design Engineer. I was in charge of calculating and designing an aluminium powder processing plant using a new method than the conventional ionisation method. I had to calculate the spinning head’s diameter, speed and the hopper diameter to allow the molten aluminium to go from the molten state to solid state without being too ductile to stick to the hopper.


Page 21 of 54

Problems: Existing Method is too expensive to produce Aluminium powder while still being profitable.

Solution: Design a system that allows the production of the explosive Aluminium Powder without using the Ionisation method.

Photo:

Update: The design is being implemented at our Birmingham Branch at the moment.

4.3 Laing O’Rourke

I have been involved with several different projects since I started working as a Digital Reinforcement

Engineer at Laing O’Rourke, some of the main ones are listed below:

4.3.1 3D Modelling

4.3.1.1 C018 / C026 TSB – Optimization of DfMA for Nuclear

Technology Strategy Board (a.k.a. TSB), recently renamed innovate UK is a government organisation that distribute government funding. Optimization of DfMA for Nuclear is part funded by TSB in partnership with Laing O’Rourke, Arup, Imperial University and Building Research Establishment aka BRE

DFMA means Design for Manufacture and assembly, it’s the combination of three methodologies; Design, Manufacture and Assembly, which means the design for ease of manufacture and assembly.

Hence the purpose of this project is the optimisation of DFMA for the nuclear industry so we won’t have the same manufacturing and assembly problems as the ones had in flamanville (France), Olkiluoto (Finland) and Taishan (China).

Work Package 2

Many problems have occurred during modelling of the above project. However the most notable once are listed below:

Challenge #1 – Stitching Pre-Assembled Cages

The most noticeable challenge was fixing the preassembled cages together.

Laing O’rourke already has an existing patent on an existing anchor heads assembly designwhere the anchor heads extend from each side of the cages or concretes that need to be assembled together and then interlocking them together finally adding vertical bars and shear studs for strength.


Page 23 of 54

This fixing solution is good for slabs, however it’s very hard and time consuming to achieve for walls.

Hence as I was the detailer I came up with a solution which got adapted in the final design. The anchor heads extended from each side of the cages get opposite to each others, then dumbbells, vertical bars and shear studs are added as part of the original design.

Challenge #2 – Congestion due to Anchor Heads:

Rebars with anchor heads are hard to fit when we’re only using straight bars at a minimum length of 175 mm, increased in multiple of 25 mm and all heads had to have a clear distance of 20 mm between them to allow concrete to flow.Therefore, investing extra time in careful placement of the bars was required to solve this problem.

Challenge #3 – Communication:

Working with people from across different offices could make it a bit hard to communicate ideas and solutions, however using Tekla Structures comment tool and Bimsight, detailer and designer successfullt collaborated in real timewhich resolved the problem.

Challenge #4 – Assembly Methodology:

In package 2 test 2, we plan to get the most out of manufacturing it.Hence, we propose into assembling the 3 cages where each will use different construction information.


Page 24 of 54

Cage #1:

This cage will be built using the traditional 2D drawings, where data will be gathered on the time it took to build it and compare it with Test 1.

Cage #2 and Cage #3:

These two will be using Field3D and BimSight instead of 2D drawings, where data will be gathered on the time it took to build it and compare it with Test 2 Cage #1.

The data gathered will give us an insight on if and how much time we could save by only using anchor heads instead of bended bars and how much extra can we save by converting from 2D to 3D.

4.3.3 Innovation Projects

Working in the Innovation Department consisted of creating plug-ins for Tekla using C#, .Net programming language.

This program can convert letters and numbers inserted in the textbox to a 3D object in the model

This program can convert letters, numbers, dimensions and Rebar call-offs in the mod4els as dxf files.


Page 33 of 54

As manually checking rebars is repetitive, time consuming, costly and subject to human error. . Rebar Lap Checker is a tool that may be used at both detailing and checking stages to improve the speed and consistency of lap checks; freeing detailers to do what they do best...Design and generate drawings. Lap Checker can save up to 83% of check time by detailers.

This program can automatically inputs end tags to drawing to increase productivity.

This program can automatically input images into Tekla drawings.

4.3.3.1 Tekla EIP Data-exchange (TED)

TED is a Tekla add-on that facilitates data export from Tekla to EIP in form of SAP, BVBS or Unitechnik. With more exporting options to be added in the future, TED help achieving an accurate, smooth, user friendly and intuitive data transition that can be used by anyone. This software will require the user to have a working computer suitable to run Tekla Structures. The aim is to improve collaboration between ‘Re’ and the factory, efficiency and reduce human errors within projects.

The methodology used in creating this app consisted primarily on understanding the different situations that it could / may encounter while being used. Make sure it is thoroughly tested in these situations and that the algorithm could handle these different situations and also be able to recognise a mistake, correct it if possible or highlight it to the user so they can fix it within the 3D Tekla model.

4.3.3.2 SAP Export Requirements

• Generate a SAP file “on the fly” when user selects an assembly by retrieving attributes and UDAs from the assembly.


Page 35 of 54

• Display this SAP file to the user in a DGV (or similar) and validate cell values against validation criteria.

• Validation criteria to be able to be adjusted by a superuser (e.g. softcoded into a configuration file on server (e.g. xml).

• Values not meeting the validation criteria to be highlighted to the user with an explanation.

• If user decides to export, then a txt file is written to required folder location on sever (location set via superuser e.g. via configuration file). Filename to be first 11 digits of SAP ID. If filename already exists then additional text to be merged to existing file.

• Potential for development of a permissions system to allow only certain users to perform export (e.g. password / windows username), or only after certain conditions met (e.g. initials of checker completed in a UDA)

4.3.3.3 BVBS Export Requirements

• Generate a BVBS file when user clicks the generate button from Tekla Structures’ BVBS_Export.exe.

• Alter and display this BVBS file to the user in a DGV (or similar) and validate cell values against validation criteria.



• If user decides to export, then a .abs file is written to required folder location on sever (location set via superuser e.g. via configuration file). Filename to be first 11 digits of SAP ID + “-“ + ‘Pos. No’ from SAP. If filename already exists then additional text to be replaced to existing file.
