CC&E Engineers, Inc. - 1990 to present
Principal Engineer
Consulting engineering services for all aspects of planning, design, and installation of microwave systems, mobile radio base station sites, analog data communication systems, and fiber optics systems, both synchronous (SONET), and asynchronous.
Recent Major Projects
Consulting engineering services for the design and implementation of a new dispatch communications center and for the relocation of all existing communications (digital channel banks, orderwires, phone circuits, and SCADA circuits). Design also included power distribution, DSX jackfields, DS1 timing, grounding, seismic racks, VF cross connect system, and the integration of a new SONET (OC1) fiber optic system.
Consulting engineering services for the design of a fiber optic system, asynchronous DS3 (expandable to 3 X DS3), timing, DSX jackfields, DSO channelizing, and VF cross-connects.
Consulting services for a six node OC1 SONET system (and its upgrade to OC3). Interfaces included DS1 circuits to a DS3 radio system and also DSO circuits to analog and digital systems.
Consulting services for a five node OC1 SONET network including fiber route and cable design. System included drop and insert digital multiplex.
PacifiCorp Electric Operations- Utah Power & Light Co.
Electrical Engineer - 22 years
Responsible for managing a multi-year project to upgrade a microwave system to new standards. Also directed others in the design of microwave radio, baseband and multiplex equipment, and the associated antenna systems.
When Utah Power acquired Lincoln Service and CP National, I was responsible for the complete integration of those areas into the operating system. This required the addition of new microwave sites, conversion of their mobile radio system, and the addition of voice and data circuits.
Design responsibility for major interconnection projects between UP&L and adjoining utilities including Montana Power, Idaho Power, Pacific Power, and Sierra Pacific Power. These projects required the design of microwave radio, power line carrier, telemetry, voice and data, battery and charger, and emergency generator systems.
Designed a new communications center for Salt Lake City. This facility was to be the location of all circuits terminating in Salt Lake. The design provided complete termination of the analog baseband spectrum and provided for the addition of new multiplex equipment in an organized and orderly manner. It also provided for the complete on-line testing of all circuits.
