OLG ENGINEERING - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• Admin
• Mechanical Engineer
• Principal

Mr. Oliver has a multi-tiered level of experience, covering a very diverse range of projects. He was the lead engineer for three miles of 125-pound underground shallow and deep trench steam line project, with responsibility for construction management and testing. Mr. Oliver conceptualized a breathing air NITROX system to supply breathing air for Space Shuttle astronauts to reduce their Hyperbaric Chamber time, such that their time to air travel was greatly reduced. He was responsible for numerous designs involving high-pressure gas systems such as Liquid and Gaseous Hydrogen, Liquid and Gaseous Nitrogen, Liquid and Gaseous Oxygen, Argon, Helium and high-pressure Air and steam systems. His design experience also includes fuel and fuel transfer systems. Mr. Oliver also has experience in energy assessments and system upgrades. He has extensive experience in the design, installation and maintenance of large HVAC systems, Chillers, and Central Plant systems. His expertise developed in designing such systems as the Astronaut Donning Station Fire Protection System and Hydrogen Burn Stack brings a very diverse level of expertise to projects. From this diversity of experience, Mr. Oliver is able to quickly analyze situations and develop a systematic approach to a given project. This experience also allows him to implement value engineered systems without compromising system integrity or life span. Mr. Oliver's large project experience provides him with a broad range of skills in project management, cost control, estimating and general project oversight. Mr. Oliver serves as Engineering Manager for Oliver Little Gipson Engineering, Inc. Education: University of Tennessee, Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering, 1989

Mr. Little has developed a variety of experiences stemming from his affiliation with the Space Shuttle Program. His efforts in payload development, placement, and securing mechanisms provide him with a unique and abstract approach to complex issues. Developing these systems also required working in very large and complex team environments often in a very compressed schedule mode. Drawing upon this experience, he has a unique ability place a common sense approach to today's complex codes and standards. Mr. Little also has substantial facilities experience, achieved from employment within the Plant Engineering branch serving the Facilities Office at a NASA Center. There he supported both maintenance and construction activities with design and trouble shooting of physical and central plant systems, compliance with DoD, DoE, and other government requirements. Additionally, Mr. Little was involved in developing emergency shut-down procedures for Critical and Testing facilities, including commercial utilities as well as cryogenics. Mr. Little design expertise in mechanical and plumbing systems, includes medical gases and hydronics. His design approaches consider design for economics to support the customer's budgetary and time constraints, maintaining compliance with applicable Code requirements. Mr. Little's diversified experiences in a variety of mechanical venues brings let another level of competency to the arena of mechanical design, project management, and value engineering. Mr. Little serves as Chief Mechanical Engineer for Plumbing and Process Piping Systems at Oliver Little Gipson Engineering, Inc.

• Chief Electrical Engineer for Oliver Little Gipson Engineering, Inc

Mr. Gipson has over 10 years experience in the design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of electrical, instrumentation, and control systems. This experience includes work with PLC, computer-based, and distributed control systems, as well as instrumentation and data acquisition systems. Mr. Gipson has also served as the lead engineer on many of these projects, coordinating many complex engineering and craft concerns in an often complex and dangerous environment. Mr. Gipson has developed expertise in design and analysis of complex control and process systems. This experience is related to the testing of turbine engines and aerodynamic models in the test cell environment. In addition to these experiences, Mr. Gipson has experience in the design, set up and testing of control systems for automotive powertrain test facilities. Mr. Gipson has experience with project management, estimating, and scheduling. His experience in multi-tasking on complex projects in different geographical locations with varying levels of staff engineers and designers permits Mr. Gipson to effectively pursue complex design issues. Processing designs in the demanding automotive industry, working with complex motor/drive assemblies and control systems for multi-million dollar research and development efforts under the pressure of economic and marketing pressures has allowed him to develop long range vision capabilities in design, cost avoidance, and critical path management. Mr. Gipson's expertise and critical thinking processes that are unique to the commercial, industrial, institutional and educational arenas serve well in these dynamic environments and provide a sharply contrasted energy level in critical systems design. Mr. Gipson serves as the Chief Electrical Engineer for Oliver Little Gipson Engineering, Inc. and is responsible for the technical content of all electrical designs produced by the firm.
