Work History
Cathodic Protection & AC Mitigation Intern
TC Energy
Calgary, Canada
05.2024 - 08.2025
- Identified critical pipeline segments with inadequate cathodic protection and elevated AC interference (>10V AC P/S) across ~787 km network, selecting and prioritizing CP remediation and AC mitigation efforts.
- Designed and oversaw the implementation of 30+ various Cathodic Protection (CP) systems, including sacrificial anode infills, impressed current systems, rectifier upgrades and remote monitoring unit (MobilTex RMU) installations, ensuring regulatory compliance and extending pipeline asset integrity in adherence to the TCE internal standard TEN-CP-DESGNGL.
- Collaborated with ECOR and ILI teams to select pipeline segments for Close Interval Potential Surveys (CIPS) within a 35-valve section region. Integrating survey and ILI data to assess cathodic protection effectiveness and accurately identify critical excavation sites, reducing potential failures.
- Ensured constructability and accuracy by redlining 50+ engineering drawings and coordinating directly with drafting teams to produce comprehensive Issued for Construction (IFC) packages.
- Resolved field modifications and design changes by reviewing RFIs and issuing DCNs, maintaining project schedules and ensuring technical compliance.
- Strategically conducted risk assessments (under regional engineer supervision) to prioritize 5 critical summer Cathodic Protection sites within a reduced budget of ~$3M, developing technical justifications that optimized resource allocation.
- Ensured construction accuracy and project close-out by reviewing and approving 50+ redline markups for conversion into final as-built drawings by drafting teams.
- Developed detailed scopes of work for 2 new AC Interference studies, providing external contractors with clear guidelines on data collection and field procedures, including soil resistivity measurements in accordance with IEEE Std 81, to ensure comprehensive and accurate study results.
- Critically reviewed over 10 AC interference studies, providing comprehensive feedback and verifying results against industry standards, including IEEE Std 2746 for evaluating AC interference effects, NACE SP21424 for AC corrosion risk, IEEE STD 80 for touch/step potential hazards, and CSA Z662 for overall pipeline safety and compliance.
- Reviewed AC Mitigation designs for over 5 projects all over Canada, prepared by contractors, specifically cross-referencing the recommended mitigation from the AC Interference Study report with the actual design shown in the IFC packages. Ensuring that the designs adhered to NACE SP0177 for mitigation best practices and IEEE Std 80 for safety standards.
- Researched and analyzed over 10 technical papers on AC mitigation to establish new best practices for technicians, including but are not limited to minimum distances from buried structures to prevent interference and improve the accuracy of soil resistivity measurements.
- Presented best practices in soil resistivity in front of the whole TCE Cathodic Protection Canadian team in our face-to-face meeting in Montreal.
- Organized and led bi-weekly meetings with all project managers involved in AC Mitigation projects to track progress and provide engineering directions when needed.
- Attended meetings organized by utility companies involved in the AC Mitigation projects to discuss upcoming capital projects (which may trigger new AC Interference study) and current ongoing projects to coordinate efforts in accordance with CSA-C22.3 No. 6-13.
- Contributed to strategic planning by creating detailed budget forecasts for 2026 AC Mitigation projects, totaling ~$33M, which included reimbursable studies (by utility companies), AC Interference field investigations, AC Mitigation design and construction and RMU fixes.
