Representative Work Experience

The following projects are representative of the range of work performed by Mr. Galli.

  • United Nations Conference Building Glazed Door Design: Lead blast engineer for door vendor. Performed blast analysis and developed calculation set for glazed door elevations. Evaluated door glazing, frames, fastening within the frames, and connections to the building curtain walls to meet specified GSA glazing response and project specified flexural responses with upper bounds for allowable reaction forces. Recommended changes in vendor design to meet these criteria and reviewed updated project document to confirm recommendations were correctly incorporated.
  • Intelligence Community Campus Curtain Wall Design: Lead blast engineer for door vendor. Performed blast analysis and developed calculation set for curtain wall elevations. Evaluated door and window glazing, the curtain wall mullions, the perimeter window framing and associated anchorage, the door frame (including the glazing stop and horizontal rails of the door), and the door jamb and associated anchorage for threats based on UFC 4-10-02 to meet the appropriate level of protection per UFC 4-10-01 standards (ASTM F 1642 for glazing response and PDC TR 10-02 for component flexural responses). Recommended changes in vendor design to meet these criteria and reviewed updated project document to confirm recommendations were correctly incorporated.
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police Basic Guideline for Applied Fragment Retention Film on Window: Authored Guideline basic design guidelines for the mitigation of blast generated glazing debris from existing windows using various window film application techniques. Film applications include both daylight applications of window film as well as anchored film applications. The guideline provides the threshold regimes of blast loads and the limitations of each system are identified, allowing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to make decisions regarding the use of the various window film mitigation techniques for specific installations.
  • Consequence, Risk-Based-Blast Assessment and Mitigation of Multiple Buildings for Petrochemical/Chemical Plants in USA and Canada: Performed consequence based analysis or QRAs at multiple plants to identify and upgrade occupied buildings that did not meet the owner’s risk criterion to the possible explosion scenarios. Completed conceptual and detailed risk-based blast upgrade designs for multiple control and admin buildings determined to be at high risk to blast threats. Provided calculations and drawings for blast upgrade retrofits prior to construction, and reviewed blast door vendor submittals and contractor field modifications as part of construction administration services. Representative facility owners include Valero, Sunoco, NuStar, Marathon, Suncor, Syncrude, Exxon Mobile, Conoco Phillips, Dow, and CNRL.
  • Seven Natural Gas Power Generation Centers, Delhi India: Supported a risk assessment of interior accidental blast and fire hazards within seven power generation centers. Developed conceptual and detailed upgrade designs for operations, infrastructure, and occupied buildings.
  • New York Police Academy Glazed Door and Window Design: Lead blast engineer for door vendor. Performed blast analysis and developed calculation set for glazed door and operable window elevations. Evaluated door and window glazing, frames, fastening within the frames, and connections to the building curtain walls to meet the project specified glazing response and component flexural responses. Recommended changes in vendor design to meet these criteria and reviewed updated project document to confirm recommendations were correctly incorporated.
