9/27/2010 Dear Sir/Madam My name is Gary J. Harris and I am applying for employment as a Civil/Structural Engineer. I have 34 years experience in Structural Design/Analysis of Structural Steel (in cluding light gauge and "cold" steel), Reinforced Concrete Structures, and Timbe r Structures and I possess a BS (1975) and an MS (1976) from the University of C alifornia at Berkeley. I am a Registered Civil-Engineer in California (# C 30477 ), Washington (# 31637), Arizona (30681),Texas (82882), Michigan Professional Engineer # 48245 , Nebraska # E-10317, Mississippi # 18638, Alabama 29669-E and Pennsylvania PE07 7960. I have also used Autocad 2007 for constructions documents layouts and sect ions. My experience is in Steel Frame including Heavy Machinery and Concrete Design in cluding Foundation Design and modifications of Industrial and Commercial Buildin gs/Structures, Pipe Supports, Material Handling (Conveyors), Petroleum Storage T anks, Power Plants, Marine Transfer Towers, Airplane Hangers, Aircraft Loading D ocks and tools and their structural supports. I managed several projects includi ng cost-control, client contact and delegation of responsibility. In my previous work with Precision Systems Engineering, I have been responsible for the Holcim, Devils Slide Utah Trolley Crane Design and Holcim Slag Shelter. The work involved design of Cranes, Foundations, Frames and Staadpro modeling. In my previous work with Utility Engineering, I was responsible for the structur al design study of the OPPD SARPY Exhaust System Failure. This included field in vestigation and Structural Analysis with STAADPRO. I was also responsible for th e design of the piping systems and foundation design for the Cliff's Washington and Sugar Creek, Indiana Combined Cycle Power Plant. In my work with Nordberg Sales Corporation, I was responsible for the structural design of the NUMMI Motors Conveyor Systems. This included conception, field in vestigation and Structural Analysis with STRUDL. Responsible for the Structural Design of the Tilcon,Connecticut Crusher Replacem ent Platform and Foundation. The work involved modeling with STRUDL for static a nd dynamic analysis (steady-state) of the platform, detailing special connection s. In my former work with Hatch Associates, I was responsible for the Non-Contact C ooling Tower Basin-Foundation for the Chaparral Virginia Steel Plant. This was a large reinforced concrete walled structure with very long concrete beam-columns spaced at intervals. Loadings on the tank were Thermal, Soil, Live and Wind Lo ading. I was also responsible for the design of 41 foot deep Scale Pit Substructure. Th is structure was well below the ground water table with a large uplift and later al pressure on the structure. In my previous work at Mac Engineering, I was responsible for the structural de sign of the Dross Building Upgrade of the LEAD SIP for the ASARCO, East Helena L ead Plant. The work involved designing large duct supports, pipe supports and s upport for new 25-Ton Rotary Melters. Large Caissons were required and much coor dination with the mechanical engineers in the support design. This includes STAA D III Modeling interfacing with the Piping and Mechanical Engineers and General Structural Layout. I have also been responsible for the Ahlstrom Hopper Upgrade at Cyrpus Miami, Arizona Smelter. This includes the conversion of braced frames
into a rigid frame for a loader access and design of a bunker below the hopper. In some of my past work at Jacobs Engineering Group, I was responsible for the d esign of Long Beach, California Coal Loading /Screening Station and Truck Dump. This work involved Conveyor and Dust Collector Structural Supports. These suppo rts were modeled for special vibration criteria and for Zone 4 Seismic Criteria. I was also responsible for the design of the Chevron Richmond Refinery Naptha-S plitter Super-Structure. This is a structural platform supporting 2-65 kip excha ngers and an 85 kip vessel platform. I was also responsible for the Retrofitting of Launch Towers for the NASA Cape K ennedy and Vandenburg Facilities. On these projects, I performed a walk down on these structures and determined that the structures had suffered damage from sal t-water corrosion. I performed an analysis using STAAD III and then laid out a r etrofit and finally was responsible for detailed design drawings indicating the retrofits. In some of my previous work, I was responsible for the design large m odular structures (scaffoldings and tool support platforms), cranes, crane gird er runways, retaining walls and footings. I stamped off all final designs and dr awings with my California PE for seismic compliance. This work involves consider able seismic analysis and retrofit for both UBC loading and dynamic (frequency-r esponse/time history) loading. I also redesigned some Conveyor-Transfer towers a t the Wilmington Port Facility for US Borax . This work involved shoring the pre sent structure for the removal of Chevron Bracing's (Vertical K-Bracing's) and m odification of connections. These structures had to be shored when the structura l bracing's were removed during the re-construction phase. A conveyor to load th e ships and to bring material up to the tower were also retrofitted and enlarged . Some of my past work has included the design of the "Cold Machine Shop " at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. This work included the design of crane-girders, crane support columns, steel framing for an adjacent office area, footings, monorails and warehouse storage areas. Several light gauge supports and steel sheets were involved in this design. Modeling of these structures was with STRUDL including the dynamic package. I also was responsible for the design of the Large Coal Dust Ducts and their Str uctural Steel Supports and Concrete Foundations for the Cushenbury Cement Plant. This work involved a design, which permitted duct movement (thermal conditions) with seismic restraints. The ducts themselves were 36 inches in diameter and ne eded many steel stiffeners at various points along the length of the duct. I have extensive experience with several PC-finite-element Programs such as IMAG ES, SAP 80, SAP 90 and COSMOS. I have also worked with large mainframe programs such as STRUDL, EASE II and SAP. These are only a small sample of experience and I can show you much more at an i nterview. I feel that I would be a valuable addition to your firm. Please feel free to contact me at any time for an interview. Very Truly Yours, Gary J.
