Following is a list of some of the projects
that have been estimated and managed
by Michael Gonsalvez in the last 17 years of his career.
IBM Corp Clarifier, Austin, TX
The project involved the construction of a waste treatment
facility for the IBM manufacturing facility located at 11400 Burnet
Road, Austin, Texas. This individual worked for the process piping
sub- contractor (Air conditioning Inc.) on the project. The process
piping primarily comprised of a pressurized double contained fiber-glass
piping system ranging in size from a 4” primary pipe (installed
in an 8” secondary) line to a 12” primary pipe (installed
in an 18” secondary) line
Motorola Waste Treatment Facility, Oakhill Campus -Austin,
TX
The project involved the construction of the waste treatment facility
for the Motorola MOS 11 facility. This individual worked for the
process-piping contractor (D. Carlson & Co.) on the project.
The process piping primarily comprised a double-contained polypropylene
piping system that ranged in size from a 2”primary pipe (installed
in a 4” secondary pipe) line, to a 10” polypropylene
piping system (installed in a 14”secondary pipe) line. A
double contained PVDF system was also installed in this project
for the handling of hydrofluoric and mixed acid waste systems
McNeil Consumer Products Solvent Granulator Round Rock, TX
This project entailed the construction of a manufacturing facility
for a pharmaceutical process, for a subsidiary of Johnson &
Johnson. This individual spearheaded the project for the mechanical
contractor (D. Carlson & Co.) on the project. Besides conventional
mechanical and plumbing systems, and pharmaceutical grade stainless
steel piping systems that were installed, a solvent granulator
with the requisite process piping, process ductwork infrastructure
(including a hi-purity steam generator) was installed
Motorola – Ammonia scrubber installation, Oakhill campus
Austin, TX
This project entailed the installation of a 60,000 cfm ammonia
scrubbing system that was spearheaded by this individual. 48”
– 72” FRP ductwork was installed during this project,
as was the Motorola standard double contained re-circulating and
waste piping systems
City of Austin Davis Water Treatment Plant - Austin, TX
This individual spearheaded the construction on this project (for
D. Carlson & Co.), which entailed the modification of the
potable water system at that facility. Included as part of these
modifications, was the replacement of (3) intake water screens
that required the employ (subcontract) of underwater divers. Also,
a total of (6) pump discharge lines were upsized from 18”
to 24”, cement-lined, and then installed. Additionally, the
demolition of the original pump discharge lines required lead
abatement, since these lines were painted with a lead based paint
.
Motorola CP#1 Cooling tower expansion, Ed Bluestein Campus
Austin, TX
This project involved the installation 3000 tons of cooling tower
(for a final installation of an additional 3000 tons), and approximately
1500’ of 36” carbon steel pipe. All the piping was coated
with a 7.5 mil Tnemec epoxy coating
Motorola – PCW Expansion Ed Bluestein Campus Austin,
TX
This project was a fast track (12-week installation) of a Process
cooling water system. The piping system was a 304L stainless steel
system, approximately 2200’ of primarily 12” –
24” size pipe .
Motorola – MOS 3 Decommissioning, Ed Bluestein Campus
Austin, TX
This project involved the complete decommissioning of a manufacturing
facility, inclusive of all electrical and process systems; with
a Closure Report accounting for all disposal means and methods
Sam Houston State Office Building Chiller & Cooling tower
Austin TX (TBPC)
In this project, a state parking lot was converted into a cooling
tower sump for the installation of 6000 tons of cooling tower.
A 1200-ton chiller was also installed on this project. Approximately
300’ of 30” carbon steel pipe was installed as the primary
portion of the piping. Electrical and controls were installed
as part of this contract. The old cooling towers were also demolished
via a change-order issued under the same contract
