Tell us who you are and what you do?Well,like perhaps many people in the industry I'd say I'm an accidental pipeline engineer.I didn't plan to be doing this kind of work,but here I am,and I love it.I have a civil engineering degree from the University of Alberta(1993)in Canada,where I worked for TransCanada as a pipeline engineer for a few years,and then I moved to Brisbane Australia in 1997 for more pipeline engineering work.The civil engineering degree kind of betrays my interest in landscapes,structures,soil types,and construction over piping specs and valve design.I really like working on tangible things that you can see,that serve a purpose,like structures.And pipelines are structures,which we sometimes don't consider.There aren't that many civil engineers in this industrial petrochemical industry,but we know who we are,and I can tell when I'm talking to a civil engineer.We get the soil types,structural issues,landscapes,and construction side of things.
