Key DEME Projects:

• Container Bumpers – DEME ORION: Designed high/low bumpers, dog plates, and stopper plates for seafastening 29.5T double-stacked containers. Ensured proper alignment with deck strong points, and compliance with DNV-ST-N001 bumping force requirements.
• MPIT Compressor Seafastening – DEME ORION: Delivered the full seafastening design for MPIT Compressor and Hose Reel units, including padeye placement, wing plates, and twist-lock arrangements. Developed layout plans and fabrication packages for transit and lifting configurations.
• 20t Rollerbox Fairleads – DEME APOLLO:
  Designed structural foundations and support frames for BW14F-type rollerbox fairleads based on winch positions. Ensured proper deck integration and alignment with vessel structural members using balcony and bracket interfaces.
• Submersible Pump Deployment System – DEME ORION:
  Created design for a hinged and rotatable steel structure for deploying a submersible pump 4m below sea level. Developed detailed models for the lattice structure, rotating table, and pump storage arrangement on deck.
• Survey Pole Seafastening – DEME APOLLO:
  Redesigned an existing hinge-based support system for horizontal and vertical positioning of the USBL survey pole. Produced fabrication drawings for the pivot mechanism, locking system, and deck-mounted integration.

Other Major Projects:

• Boat Landing Systems – Cadeler P-Class & M-Class Vessels:
  Designed complete boat landing systems including bumper frames, vertical ladders, guide tubes, and adjustable assemblies to comply with different operational standards. Developed deployment configurations, skidding mechanisms, and integration details for both transit and operational positions, with CTV access in mind. Ensured DNV compliance and interface compatibility with vessel structures and fender lines.
• Jumbo Javelin – Mooring Equipment Foundation Design:
  Delivered detailed designs for mooring winch foundations, fairlead supports, snap protectors, and outrigger structures. Focused on load path efficiency, wire routing optimization, and structural fit-up with the existing deck. Created full fabrication drawing packages compliant with DNV-ST-N001 and BS-EN-10025 standards.

• Designed seafastening and structural steel arrangements for offshore equipment, including compressors, containers, and environmental systems, ensuring alignment with vessel layout and deck loading constraints.
• Created 2D fabrication drawings, GA layouts, and detailed 3D models using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, integrating client markups and engineering calculations for production release.
• Developed compact and weldable support systems for equipment like scrubbers and cooling pump modules, incorporating lifting points, padeyes, and structural reinforcements.
• Participated in deck arrangement planning for offshore vessels, supporting efficient placement and seafastening of project-specific modules based on stability and operational requirements.
• Converted conceptual designs into practical CAD models while collaborating closely with structural analysts, engineers, and project leads.
• Conducted design validation using Navisworks and Recap, ensuring clash-free installation and compatibility with point cloud data from onboard laser scans.
• Shared models and drawings with senior engineers and project managers, incorporating feedback iteratively to meet both operational and DNV/EN compliance standards.
• Supported vessel retrofitting projects for clients such as Maersk and Eastern Pacific Shipping, focusing on design feasibility, layout modifications, and structural adaptations for new systems.

• Supported the design and detailing of structural and piping systems for vessel retrofit and offshore integration projects, contributing to over 20 successful vessel conversions.
• Developed accurate 3D CAD models and 2D fabrication drawings using AutoCAD, Plant 3D, and Autodesk Inventor, ensuring alignment with project requirements and onboard constraints.
• Designed spool drawings, isometrics, and support structures for piping systems using laser scan point cloud references for precise retrofitting.
• Performed 3D pipe routing and clash checks using Navisworks Manage, resolving spatial conflicts and ensuring installability within tight deck spaces.
• Created reference vessel models to assist in layout planning, system integration, and visual presentation for internal and client reviews.
• Coordinated with engineering leads and senior designers to refine layouts and implement vessel-specific design solutions, including transitions between existing and new structures.
• Gained hands-on experience in marine layout, deck arrangement, and seafastening detailing, supporting vessel operations and regulatory compliance.
• Maintained drawing consistency and document integrity using Autodesk Vault and followed ISO 9000/14000 design practices.

• Conducted thorough inspections and tests on control valves, ensuring compliance with industry standards and optimal performance.
• Managed the inspection process for valves of various sizes and pressure ratings, ensuring accurate calibration and reliability.
• Executed hydrostatic tests and visual inspections, aligning with project specifications and isometric drawings.
• Worked closely with third-party inspectors and clients to resolve technical challenges and ensure compliance.
