During the COVID-19 pandemic, I served as a site engineer on a crucial power plant project. Our work was intense, and due to the tight deadline, we had to maintain constant communication and coordination among various departments: civil, mechanical, electrical, and ELV. One of the biggest challenges was managing everything simultaneously, from checking shipments and documentation to overseeing pre-installation and post-installation tasks, all the way to commissioning. Despite the language barriers, our team, which included Chinese engineering forces, worked tirelessly to ensure the project's success. In the scorching heat, our store container became our lifeline, providing shade and security for our valuable equipment and materials. It taught us the importance of planning ahead and ensuring we had everything we needed on-site, especially during challenging conditions like the summer heat. Ultimately, our dedication and teamwork paid off, and we successfully completed the power plant project. It was a valuable learning experience that emphasized the significance of effective communication, meticulous planning, and adaptability in overcoming obstacles on large-scale engineering projects. #Engineering #Projects #SuccessStory

Navigating a career shift can be as daunting as it is exhilarating, especially for civil engineers considering a move into the power sector.

The power sector offers a dynamic environment where every project brings new challenges and learning opportunities. You'll not only expand your technical knowledge but also grow in a sector that values innovation and sustainability. So, if you're a civil engineer ready to electrify your career, the power sector awaits. It's time to channel your expertise into an industry that's not just powering our homes but also empowering our future. #CivilEngineering #CareerShift #PowerSector

When I speak with civil engineers in the land development sector, a common question is 'How do I pivot into working on renewable projects?' Consulting engineering firms are rapidly increasing the amount of solar, EV & BESS projects that they're providing site design services for, often led there by their clients. These projects are not only exciting, but offer opportunities to work on challenging, diverse and unique sites. However, with a lot of firms staying in the more 'traditional' residential/commercial/industrial/institutional sectors, some engineers that I've spoken with are entertaining their options in order to be able to work on these projects. If you're a civil engineer in the civil/site development field and are interested in hearing what could be out there to work on these type's of projects, get in touch! #cleanenergy #civilengineering #sitedevelopment

Before getting into the project engineering phase, power system planning with the focus on basic design aspects of main power system components must be performed. Based on recommendations resulting from various studies, the project engineering phase, mainly covers the design, tendering and contracting/project implementation phases. This technical article tackles the tendering procedure from a technical point of view. In this technical article the focus is set upon the general procedures and activities during the high-voltage project engineering phase up to contracting/project implementation, after the project has been approved for realization and execution.
