He was nominated by Stephanie Saylor and Maria Paslick of SAI Engineering. The Virginia Lottery has put over nine billion dollars ($9,000,000,000) into Education in Virginia and this new advertising campaign is designed to highlight students who spent K-12 at public schools in Virginia and went on to some notable success as well as finding ways to give back to the community. (George Preston attended the following VA public schools: John Adams Elementary, Lake Ridge Middle, Woodbridge High, and Virginia Tech. And through leadership guidance from Maury Paslick, Maria Paslick and Dan Zito, he is now Principal Mechanical Engineer and Co-Owner of SAI Engineering with Mohamed Abdelmeguid, located here in Woodbridge, VA). </div>

The Virginia Lottery is presenting WSHS a $5,000 cash prize and a $4,000 credit with "Supply Room" for supplies or furniture needed by the school. Some of those proceeds will be going to the Robotics/Engineering Program at WSHS headed by Carlos Castro, who have won many awards. In addition, they were filming a TV commercial spot that will air in a few weeks. </div>

Jacob Lasrado, a former engineering student of Carlos Castro, and current employee of SAI Engineering, was able to take part in the events that day as well and reconnect with his old teacher. Back in 2013, Jacob, then a senior at Woodbridge Senior High, received a scholarship award from SAI Engineering, on behalf of S.P.A.R.K. He later joined the SAI Engineering team in 2017. </div>

George, is very thankful for winning the award, and hopes the VA Lottery donation to WSHS will be a little help for one of the oldest/original high schools in Prince William County! Thank you to the Virginia Lottery Team and to Woodbridge Senior High School. A TV commercial will air a few weeks, and we will keep you posted as to when that airs!<br />

This month, SAI Engineering, embarked on a new challenge! A corporate team building event held at Laser Quest in Woodbridge. We put our collective brains together to try and solve an Escape Room, and also put our wits to the test in a laser tag match. Both SAI Engineering and Laser Quest are members of the Prince William Chamber. We hope to build on this event, and to build collectively as team going forward. </div>

as they embark on their next journey of retirement! They are still with SAI as senior advisers and ambassadors, to help guide all of us forward. <br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>

Both of these individuals have done remarkable things in their careers, and will be missed in the day-to-day operations here at SAI. We look forward to hearing about their adventures, their traveling, and with their grandkids. We presented them with a signature clock and inscription, that they can cherish in the future. Thank you so much Maury and Maria for your guidance and expertise through the years!</div>

SAI Engineering is proud to have been a supporter of Habitat for Humanity throughout the years. Their latest endeavors in Prince William County include two Habitat ReStore centers for which SAI Engineering donated MEP design services. The Woodbridge store recently held its ribbon cutting ceremony while the Manassas store opened up about a year earlier. Shown are photos from the Woodbridge store opening. Congratulations to Executive Director Traci DeGroat and all those involved in ensuring Habitat's vision of "A world where everyone has a decent place to live." </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are all well aware of the catastrophic flooding taking place in Houston right now. It hits especially close to home for two of our employees who lived there in the 1980's and whose children were born there. Little did Maury Paslick know when he was on the design team for the George R. Brown Convention Center that it would someday be used to house victims of this terrible disaster. Maury has always been proud of the award he received for his utility box design on that project but would gladly give it up for a return to normalcy for friends and family. And who could have guessed that the guy known as "Mattress Mac" who sold bedding by the side of the road when Maria and Maury lived there would now have a big furniture store where he has also welcomed folks seeking shelter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our office manager's husband has been sent to Houston by the Coast Guard to help coordinate communication efforts. Estimates are that he will be away from his family for a month or so. You are in our thoughts, Chad and Saylor family! Please consider giving to the American Red Cross to help the relief effort. Houstonians, both current and former, would be much obliged. </div>

Starting off in 2016, two projects our firm has been involved with were featured in <i>The Washington Post </i>and <i>Prince William Today</i>. The first has involved our team members for several years and that concerns the transformation of the former Lorton prison property into a mixed-use community. SAI Engineering has provided the electrical systems design for the first phase of the project, 165 apartments with ancillary buildings, in partnership with the Manassas office of Benfield Electric. This phase, which broke ground last fall, is scheduled to be completed next year.</div>

What better way to welcome in the New Year than with SAI's own Jack Frost. As we weather record warm temperatures with a 100% chance of a Green Christmas, this may be as close as we get to celebrating snowflakes, albeit in the form of Robert Browning. Shocking display from the electrical design department and from a member with a very appropriate last name, too, given the current landscape here in Woodbridge, Virginia. Cheers to all and may you have a very prosperous 2016!</div>

The coming of fall signals a new school year and with that the sad departure of the very fine interns SAI Engineering was fortunate to have this past summer -- Jacob Lasrado, a third year electrical engineering student at Virginia Tech, the recipient of an engineering scholarship from SAI while a senior at Woodbridge High School, and Bill Swift, a third year mechanical engineering student at Purdue University who attended Thomas Jefferson High School. Both fit right into the collaborative team culture that is SAI and were instrumental in assisting with several projects including designing systems to support well pumps to irrigate sports fields for Loudoun County schools. We wish them great success in the coming year. These young men join a cadre of dozens of interns that SAI has employed over the past two decades, some of whom became full-time employees, and nearly all of whom went on to gainful employment in the field of engineering. Last school year we partnered with the new Governor's School at George Mason University to provide an intern experience to Tristen Gulley-Davenport who now attends UVa studying computer engineering with a minor in music. We look forward to following her journey to a fulfilling career.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We bid the interns farewell along with Dan Zito, longtime SAI Engineering Vice President and Chief Mechanical Engineer, with a fun pizza/beer bash capped off by a DC performance of Capitol Steps. Dan retired after almost 20 years with SAI to enjoy the good life of watching sports, playing golf and spending time with his family in NY. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
With Dan's retirement came the well-earned promotion of George Preston, PE, as Vice President and Chief Mechanical Engineer. George has been with SAI since his graduation from VaTech over 10 years ago and fittingly presented intern Jacob with his college scholarship several years ago at Woodbridge High School which George also attended. SAI Engineering is proud to have assisted in the establishment of the engineering program known as Project Lead the Way at Woodbridge, in existence for nearly a decade now. George and his wife Shana, also a Virginia Tech graduate who works in the accounting field, along with their young son make their home in a community conveniently located near the office. Congratulations George!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
In addition to Dan retiring, long time office assistant, Susan Browning, also "semi-retired" to North Carolina with husband Bob and their dogs where they have built their long dreamed about home. In her stead, we welcomed Stephanie Saylor, who brought a wealth of experience working for other A/E firms, large and small across the country as a Coast Guard spouse. Stephanie and Chad have two school-age daughters and reside in nearby Occoquan. Stephanie has already become a very valuable member of the SAI Team.</div>

On behalf of SAI Engineering, George Preston and Maria Paslick presented a $1,500 scholarship to deserving Woodbridge High School and Project Lead the Way engineering student, Jacob Lasrado, on May 23, 2013. The presentation was part of the annual Senior Awards Ceremony attended by students, parents and dignitaries. The scholarship is one of many administered under SPARK, the education foundation for PWCS, an organization that SAI has been a part of for over a decade. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
George happens to be a 2001 alumnus of Woodbridge and went on to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, where Jacob also will attend in the fall. The occasion marked SAI's return to a school where it helped launch the Project Lead the Way engineering program and also supported the County's first robotics team back in 2000. In attendance was retired teacher and mentor Don Maeyer who played an instrumental role on that nationally awarded robotics team. SAI was also pleased to highlight the contributions of popular current teacher and former electrical engineer, Carlos Castro, whose popularity was obvious based on audience response. Bringing events full circle, Mr. Castro assisted a Woodbridge robotics team's national first place win this school year. Congratulations to all! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in the late 50's, President Eisenhower held meetings at the Greenbrier with the leaders of Mexico and Canada, while also secretly meeting with the head of the C&O Railway Co., which owned the resort at the time. It was an era of great concern about nuclear proliferation and the "Cold War" with the Soviet Union. After all, the U.S. had dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima to close out WWII, and the Russians had since developed their own nuclear arsenal. Many Americans responded then (and even now) by assembling household supplies and building makeshift shelters. Likewise, the U.S. government began the secret search for a fallout shelter for Congress to evacuate to and continue operations in cases of threats of nuclear destruction (as almost came to pass with the early 60's Cuban missile crisis). Greenbrier Resort was quickly chosen as the ideal spot, being near D.C., close to the interstate, an airstrip and rail depot, yet isolated in terms of population and geography, coupled with the fact it had once served as a rehab facility/hospital for the war injured. The bunker was constructed beneath and in conjunction with a new hotel wing opened in 1961 with payments going through the Railroad Company so as not to arouse suspicion. Ingeniously, parts of the finished bunker facility were also used as exhibit halls and meeting rooms for conventions--hidden in plain sight so to speak. And the engineers and other personnel maintaining the bunker doubled as resort employees serving as valets, maintenance workers and the like. Thirty years later, on May 31, 1992, the bunker was exposed in the <i>Washington Post </i>with its value questioned since the Cold War had ended. The very next day the government shut it down, but people continued to show an interest, much to the surprise of locals, and tours started in 1995.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While touring the bunker, a person cannot help but gain an appreciation for those mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems critical for survival, a fact the tour guides highlight throughout. Fresh air intake systems, emergency back-up power, chillers, water filtration systems and the like are on clear display and their importance vividly explained. It is also worth mentioning that the bunker now serves as a mega modern-day data center after updates for wiring and conditioning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, if you have a budding engineer in your family or you yourself are an engineer with a spouse or significant other or friend whose eyes glaze over at the mere mention of your latest project, this is a must-see. We also highly recommend the excursion to all you architects, developers, project and property managers out there or even those parents with aspiring college students in tow touring nearby universities such as Virginia Tech. What better way to combine interesting history with practical knowledge in a romantic, bucolic setting where you can also golf, hike, bowl, etc. (and no, this is not a paid advertisement--just a suggestion by engineers seeking appreciation and recognition). <br />

You may wonder what ignited the geek so to speak or, put another equally corny way, what event livened the wire in the brains of our electrical design team. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the case of the youngest member of our team, Robert, who has worked for SAI since his high school days as an intern returning upon graduation from college, the seed was planted even earlier in his education--first grade to be exact when he landed in trouble for putting a staple in an outlet in order to see what would happen. Let's just say sparks flew literally and figuratively. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Badri, who hails from Nepal though he became a U.S. citizen several years ago, it was the "shock" he received when using the primitive heaters of his childhood to boil water that drew him to learn more about electricity. He originally came to the States to study electrical engineering with plans to return to Nepal to work on the hydroelectric plants being built throughout Nepal and India by Enron in the 1990's. Well, we all know what happened to Enron and with it Badri's plans. But their loss is our gain as Badri has been in the field for over a decade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dinosaur of our electrical team, Maury, appropriately enough, first put his interest into practice at Christmas time when he decided to use a discarded plug his grandfather gave him to juice up his train set. He stripped the insulation from the wires and bypassed the train transformer to connect directly to the track. The result: the trains flew off the track, house lights blew and thumbnails were blackened. Fortunately for his family, their home at the time had fuses instead of circuit breakers or it might have burned down. Needless to say, he not only learned about the power of electricity that day but some powerful new curse words as his mother called her dad to question the wisdom of giving a youngster of seven such a "toy". Little did she know then that those words would serve him well as an adult when he takes covers off panelboards. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Stay tuned to learn why some of the mechanical and plumbing members of our team got into their disciplines.SAI Engineering Incorporatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11407699601238280104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739709499951665242.post-30515509619874941522012-12-03T17:36:00.001-05:002013-02-11T16:27:18.424-05:00Power Quality and Power Reliability: UPS vs. Standby Power Systems<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a lot of discussion lately about UPS and standby systems (and, no, we are not talking about methods of package delivery or airline flight status). Given the shaky state of the power grid, climate change induced weather events and a greater demand for electricity both in the U.S. and globally, power quality and power reliability have become major issues for commercial as well as residential customers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>U</strong>ninterruptible <strong>P</strong>ower <strong>S</strong>upply systems, commonly referred to as UPS systems, can filter incoming power to protect against electrical "noise" such as spikes or transients (<em>i.e</em>., a type of pulse caused by factors such as lightning, switching surges, or kick-in of large motors), thereby improving power quality in our increasingly data-driven world. The need for UPS systems is particularly acute for data centers, office server rooms and telecom equipment spaces, or any computer-intensive environment. Typically, UPS systems also have batteries to ride through power outages, but not the kind of batteries found under your car hood or inside your cellphone, as the former are more sensitive to extreme temperatures and much more costly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, standby power or "back-up" systems, of which the most common type is a generator, are not battery-driven but run on engines fueled by gasoline, natural gas, propane or diesel. The duration of generator operation is limited by the amount of available fuel. Standby power systems are so-called because they operate upon loss of utility power making them valuable to businesses and homeowners alike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The primary difference between generator and UPS function is that the system or load being powered by a UPS never knows that power is or was lost. With a generator, there is a delay between loss of power and start-up so that critical equipment such as computers will power down and must be restarted, which is why a UPS is often necessary. However, for household items and most commercial systems, for that matter, a stand-by system can come to the rescue. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, now, you understand the essence of UPS systems and standby power systems. </div>

We would all like to think that dimming lights signals the start of an exciting movie or show. However, there are frequently times in our daily lives that our lights dim at home or work while electronic devices thankfully continue unabated. Given recent weather events in the East--the June derecho and the October hurricane, not to mention the occasional passing wind gust (not gas) or thunderstorm, many of us have experienced a lack of electricity, stopping us in our tracks so to speak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Power or electricity is delivered to our homes and workplaces for the most part on a multi-phase basis. Oftentimes, power loss is preceded by a dimming of lights--followed by a complete blackout, or for the fortunate, immediate restoration to full power. If one line goes down due to tree limbs or other debris, human or animal damage or gusts of wind, single-phasing comes into play resulting in dimming until full power comes back or all power goes out, meaning an event has caused complete interruption. In other words, dimming of lights could be called "single-phasing", the loss of one phase feeding lights but perhaps not a phase affecting electronics or vice versa. In this day and age it is safe to say that most people would rather lose phasing to the former rather than the latter. </div>

The start of a new school year brings to mind SAI Engineering's long-standing relationship with Minnieland Academy which currently has 10,000 children enrolled in its various programs and employs 2,000 people. We are proud of our affiliation with Minnieland resulting in over a dozen new facilities, including the new Minneland at Belmont in Loudoun County. SAI Engineering would like to take this opportunity to express well-deserved congratulations to the folks at Minnieland on their 40th anniversary and thanks for their many contributions to the community. Our CFO, Maria Paslick, serves with Minnieland's COO, Chris Schuster, on the board of SPARK, the Education Foundation of Prince William County Schools.</div>

SAI Engineering is also proud of its collaboration with Colonial Webb on the addition of a new cooling tower and two new chillers at Lake Ridge Middle School. The school's air conditioning broke down in the spring and the project was completed this past summer in time for back-to-school activities.</div>

A perfect example of a successful design-build approach is SAI's partnership with Lantz Construction out of Broadway, Virginia, on the expansion/upgrade to the Rubbermaid Commercial Products manufacturing facility in Winchester.
The company is adding high-tech, energy-efficient injection molding machines at the site where Rubbermaid Commercial Products has had its headquarters since 1968 and continues as one of the city's largest employers. The project is featured in July's Virginia Business magazine on page 19.</div>
