PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY EDUCATION: Ph.D., Civil Engineering, Central Research Institute of Civil Structures (CNIISK), Russia. M.S., Industrial and Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering University (MICI), Moscow, Russia. PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: Stress Analyses of the Gas and Oil Pipelines, Including Onshore and Offshore ones, as well as Facility’s Piping Construction Technical Supervision and Failure Investigation SUMMARY Over 30 years of engineering experience, including over 10 years in the United State, in the pipeline research, design and construction for oil and gas industries. Major discipline is complicated stress analyses. Harnessing commercial program CAESAR^® and TRIFLEX^®. Development of stress analyses software and design criteria for onshore and offshore pipelines. Experience includes the front-end and detail design of onshore transmission pipelines, offshore pipelines and risers, pipeline crossings, compressor and pump station piping, and mechanisms of pipeline failures. Specific project assignments have included site visits, investigation of pipeline failure, risk assessment, fields data gathering, design and design supervision, structural and mechanical design, specification preparation, bid evaluations, and field construction technical supervision.
