OUR CLIENTS

Hyatt Tech Services:
Hyatt Tech Services, owned and operated by Lorne Hyatt, CET, specializing in the design of ASME Section VIII-1 Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers. Lorne has in excess of 35 years experience in designing pressure vessels and is currently and has utilized Codeware's COMPRESS software since the mid-1980's to assist in this design work. Design and drawings are reviewed and certified by Renzo Ferrera, P.Eng., of Collins-Ferrera Engineering Inc.

In addition to Hyatt Tech Services, Lorne's previous employment history includes:
• Lambton Metal Works (structural steel detailing)
• T.W. Gray and Associates Engineering Ltd. (pressure vessel design, building design, coordination)
• Kel-Gor Limited (pressure vessel design, structural steel detailing, pipe spooling, estimating)

I, Jeff Currie, graduated from Lambton College in 1980 and was employed by T.W. Gray & Associates Engineering Ltd . as a Draftsman under the supervision of Lorne Hyatt preparing detailed fabrication drawings for pressure vessels and structural drawings for buildings. Lorne and I have worked together on a large variety of design projects since 1980, including:
• ASME VIII-1 pressure vessels
• ASME VIII-1 / TEMA heat exchangers
• API-650 tanks
• building structures
• steel detailing

 

T. W. Gray & Associates Engineering Ltd.:
T. W. Gray & Associates Engineering Ltd. is a privately owned company located in Sarnia and has been providing civil and structural engineering services in southwestern Ontario since 1980. The staff of Engineers, Technicians, Surveyors and Inspectors use their combined skills and experience to provide superior cost effective civil and structural solutions.

I was fortunate enough to be part of the T. W. Gray Eng. team from 1980 until 2014 as a Draftsman. It is rare these days to be employed by one company for 34 years. I chose to start JCDS in June of 2014. I continue to provide structural drafting services to T. W. Gray on a contractual basis, and I believe this arrangement has benefited both parties.

Steve Beadle P. Eng. has been the Structural Engineer at T. W. Gray Eng. since 2005. I have completed all of the drafting on Steve’s projects and honed my extensive skills in structural drafting and detailing.

David Gilchrist Architect:
This Firm has provided Building Science focused Architectural services in Southwest Ontario for over 40 years. The local involvement of the principal Architect, staff Architects and technicians provide an Architectural backbone to the community not provided by the overnight involvement of out of town firms.

During my association with T. W. Gray & Assoc. Eng. Ltd. from 1980 to 2014 as a Draftsman we provided David Gilchrist Architect with structural and civil engineering services on an as needed basis which allowed us to benefit from Mr. Gilchrist’s Architectural design and technical knowledge. This relationship enhanced my ability to provide multi discipline drafting support for the Architectural and Engineering documentation needed to develop complex projects.

I continue to provide support services to David Gilchrist Architect on a contractual basis. Our service allows him to adjust his output and provide timely construction document production with additional experienced staff.

The Structural Engineer at T. W. Gray is Steve Beadle. I have done all the Drafting for Steve during his 10 years with the company and continue to do so as JCDS. Recent projects we have worked on with David Gilchrist Architect are:

• Aamjiwnaang First Nation Communty Centre
• The Women’s Interval Home
• The Good Shepherd Lodge
• London Road Medical Centre
