April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E ELECTRICAL STUDIES

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E ELECTRICAL DESIGN & ANALYSES ALUMINUM v. COPPER STUDY HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E Al v. Cu STUDY QUERY: Would Aluminum Feeders be more cost efficient than the existing Copper Feeders? 1. Determine lengths of feeders 2. Determine number of conductors 3. Cost analysis for each type of material

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E Al v. Cu STUDY COST ANAYLSIS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E Al v. Cu STUDY Lower Initial Cost Lighter (Can span greater distances, Costs less to transport) Larger in X-sectional Area (Will require larger conduit) Higher Coefficient of Expansion (Can create hazardous situations) Oxidizes Less Durable Weaker in Tension & Shear Less Workable CONSPROS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CONCLUSION: Copper has a less expensive life cycle when primary price, installing, maintenance, repairs and replacement are all taken into consideration. Al v. Cu STUDY

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS QUERY: Would implementing High Efficiency Transformers be a benefit?

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CONCLUSION: Not only would High Efficiency Transformers save over $22,000 a year, but the payback period would be less than six months. They would definitely be a benefit. HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMERS ANALYSIS

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT BREADTH WORK

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CM BREADTH WORK ISSUES THAT COULD HAMPER or HELP PROJECT DELIVERY: Coordination of Drawings Documentation of Information Back-up Plans

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CM BREADTH WORK COORDINATION OF DRAWINGS: Problem: Ceiling plenum design overlap not caught till late stages of design development Solution: Regular team meetings with Pin-Ups Open information sharing forums / sessions Update progress in Real Time

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CM BREADTH WORK DOCUMENTATION OF INFORMATION: Problem: Disputes occur over “he said / she said” issues, the ball is dropped along the chain of execution Solution: Record meetings to avoid dispute Archive electronic communication regularly w/ date / time stamp for reference Follow-up to avoid miscommunication

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CM BREADTH WORK BACK-UP PLANS: Problem: Budget is no longer sufficient to implement lighting / electrical design Solution: Value Engineering Three Brand Spec Priority / Hierarchy List

April 18 th, 2007Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E CONCLUSION: Communication, Organization and Flexibility are three skills that are integral in overcoming job related issues. Implementation of these tools can help avoid setbacks or make them more manageable. CM BREADTH WORK
