“This period has given me the opportunity to experience all the intricate methods of deterioration affecting buildings of all types and ages in the hot and humid environment that is South Florida. And to work with owners and management companies to develop repair procedures and maintenance programs to suit various budgets.” Career Highlights for the period prior to arrival in U.S.

• 1974 – 1979: under employment of “Det norske Veritas”, and as senior site representative, participated in the construction and the installation of several “Concrete Gravity Structures” for the development of oil and gas resources in the North Sea, as well as the development of inspection services and routines for the annual inspections of offshore installations. These routines later became principle elements in the UK Department of Energy’s continued certification system, leading up to “Certificate of Fitness”.

Engaged with an International project group for the development and construction of an LNG plant in Iran, as part of the development of the “Pars” field in the “Persian Gulf”.

• Started the office for Det norske Veritas in Abu Dhabi in 1979, for the primary purpose of certification of the submarine pipeline system in the Zakum Oil field. In particular the “Upper Zakum Development”, a system of flow lines from satellite wells, to a collection unit, including a system of gas injection lines as well as electrical cables and control lines. All installed in water depth of 6 – 22m.
• Started the office for Det norske Veritas in Terrenganu in 1983, on the East Coast of Malaysia to cover certification work on “The Malaysian Peninsular Gas Development Program”, for Petronas / Carigali, (National oil and gas development companies).

This work involved the Offshore development of the Duyong Field, construction and installation-verification of jackets and superstructures manufactured in Korea and Japan, installation of two-phase pipelines to shore, shore approaches, with finger type slug catcher, gas treatment plant, gas processing plant for development of “sales gas” to a gas-driven power plant. Propane, butane and sales gas refining for export to Japan; Compressor plant for liquefaction of all gas fractions for overland transport through pipelines to export facility; Conversion of gas from “liquid under pressure” to “liquid under temperature”, with transportation to storage tanks, transfer to export facility and exportation to Japan.  Later, for Petronas & Shell Oil, fabrication and installation of drilling platforms, and submarine pipelines for the F6 development off the coast of Borneo.

• 1985 – 1989:  Following the involvement under employment with Veritas in the Middle East and the Far East, under employment of “Berdal Offshore”, part of the “Norconsult group”, involvement with innovative shore approaches for bringing oil and gas from the North Sea development to shore based facilities. This included tunneling to 70m water depth, piercing into deep water, and the pulling of offshore pipeline into the tunnel for tie in to tunnel-pipeline and further connection and transport in pipelines to large underground storage caverns.

Also, and under employment with “Berdal Offshore”, as partner with “Global Engineering” UK, participated as “deputy project manager” in the design of the “Tommeliten Flowlines”, a set of thermally insulated duplex flow-lines from a sub-sea completion well, “Tommeliten”, tied into the “Ekofisk” complex.   Later, and also under employment of Berdal Offshore, under contract with the Norwegian Development program, involvement as project Manager in the restoration of the Oil Import Facility for Tanzania, in Dar es Salam, the initial evaluation of an Energy assessment program for Botswana, and the initial evaluations for the re-construction of the port city of Beira.

• Following employment with “Berdal offshore”, and contracted from “Global Engineering” of London England, participated as construction manager for the JV between “JGC” and “Yokohama Rubber” in the underwater restoration of the “Juaimah Trestle”, a 6.5 mile long jetty built as an export facility for LPG from the E. Coast of Saudi Arabia. This was a $ 35 million project for the encapsulation of 1200 64” pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete piles, and was completed in 1987 – 1988, during the last phase of the Iraq / Iran war.
• Resident of the US since Feb. of 1989

Prior to all engineering engagement, completed compulsory service in the Norwegian Army, Corps of Engineers, training as demolition experts, ABC warfare, mine field management, portage of infantry units with additional sniper duties.
