My Summer at wsp

As a Mechanical Intern at WSP in the Power & Energy division, I supported multidisciplinary teams on infrastructure and energy consulting projects that required both technical engineering analysis and cross-team coordination.

Key Projects:

• Ameresco BioGeneration Facility (Sacramento, CA):
  Collaborated with various disciplines using Revit and Navisworks to integrate mechanical layouts into the full plant design. Mapped and tagged biogas and water systems in AutoCAD to support client understanding of sustainable energy solutions. My work contributed to a facility that converts wastewater biogas into electrical and thermal energy, resulting in a self-sustainable system.
• Pump Sizing Analysis (World Trade Center Loop):
  Conducted a detailed fluid flow and pressure loss analysis using the Darcy-Weisbach equation to inform pump selection. Applied data interpretation, system modeling, and client-oriented presentation of findings using Bell & Gossett Systemwise.
• Cedar Bayou Combined Cycle Plant (Texas):
  Used AFT Fathom and Bluebeam to analyze system performance and support equipment sizing and selection for multiple systems, including demineralized water pumps, service water pumps, fuel gas heaters, and ammonia injection pumps. Provided clear technical deliverables that enhanced the client’s decision-making during the early design phase.

Skills Developed:

• Client-Facing Communication: Translated complex mechanical analyses into digestible insights for internal stakeholders and client teams.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Worked closely with engineers across disciplines, aligning mechanical designs within broader project scopes.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Used engineering principles and modeling tools to recommend efficient, sustainable solutions.

This internship strengthened my ability to approach engineering challenges with a holistic mindset, balancing technical rigor with client goals, cost efficiency, and sustainable impact.
