Project Manager/Engineer: Mr. Don Le has over 20 years of experience with industrial process automation and integration field. His technical capabilities include strategic planning, project management, design and implementation of many advanced control engineering projects. In parallel with his strong engineering capabilities, Mr. Le is also an excellent designer and software developer with an in-depth knowledge of the advanced CAD packages such as Bentley MicroStation and AutoCAD 200x. He had in the past developed several Add-Ins tools to be used from within the Bentley MicroStation environment to enhance the productivity of the software. These MicroStation Tools were used to automatically generate and document over 4000 loop drawings for the City of San Diego WWTP COMNET project. Education: BS Electrical Engineering, University of Iowa.
Chief Control Systems Engineer: Mr. Chuck Diamond, PE has over 30 years of experience with PLC control systems. At his previous employment, Southern California Edison, Mr. Diamond was responsible for the controls engineering and designed the electrical and control systems logics to convert subcritical once through boilers to microprocessor based distributed control system. This included the balance of plant controls and electrical systems. The newly designed digital systems were able control the units through startups with only three trips. The original control system caused twenty-one hard trips for the same start-up and commissioning test.
Throughout his professional career, Mr. Diamond is known to the power generation industry as the expert in the field of high speed analog to digital gas turbines/peakers conversion, the analog to digital subcrital boiler conversions, and the ten drum boilers I converted from analog to digital sliding pressure control. Education: BS Applied Physics and Mathematics. Other: Registered Control System Engineer, CA-CS3466.
Project Engineer: Mr. Greg Russell, PE has over 25 years of experience with electrical power and control systems. His knowledge includes high voltage, electrical power distribution, circuit protection and electrical controls. Mr. Russell is currently overseeing all electrical design for the water and waste water treatment projects in the Inland Empire area. Education: BS Electrical Engineering, San Diego State University. Other: Registered Electrical Engineer, CA-E11058.
Sr. Systems Engineer: Mr. John Salverda has over 25 years of experience with PLC, computer programming and custom database modeling. He is currently an authority on the US Data Factorylink software and has developed numerous SCADA/DCS applications for many power plants, refineries and breweries. Mr. Salverda serves as the senior controls engineer for all major projects. Education: BS Computer Science, Cal Poly Pomona, CA.
