Il a travaillé en tant que responsable d'ingénierie, chef de projet, ingénieur de projet en mécanique, électricité et plomberie (MEP), ingénieur d'application d'un fabricant et producteur agricole.
Mr. Thuett’s areas of expertise include engineering design of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC); clean-room and computer room HVAC design; plumbing; steam; compressed air; electrical; fire protection; industrial ventilation; electric power generation balance of plant; and natural gas distribution. Other expertise includes code compliance for engineering activities, specification development, wind farmland leasing negotiations, land title review, and HVAC equipment start-up.
As a forensic engineer, Mr. Thuett specializes in identifying mechanical and plumbing systems and other design and construction defects that can result in problems with the occupied environment. He is experienced with failure investigations for mechanical and plumbing equipment, industrial equipment, and vehicle mechanical systems from direct examination of failed items. He also has experience evaluating consumer products and appliance failures, including coffee makers, water heaters, dishwashers, plumbing faucets, and pool equipment. Mr. Thuett has also analyzed issues involving various mechanical components (steel and plastic pipes, fittings, and valves) and industrial equipment (boilers, pumps, and chillers).
Mr. Thuett has examined numerous HVAC (condensing units, air handling units, chillers, furnaces, controls components, and condensate drainpipe), plumbing (underground sewer and DWV piping, PVC fittings, PEX piping and fittings, press fittings, and expansion tanks), and fire protection system failures (pipe corrosion, CPVC fittings, dry valves and trim components, riser pipe, and sprinkler pendants).
M. Thuett a enquêté sur des incidents impliquant des pannes de moteur de véhicule, ainsi que sur des incendies et des explosions impliquant des brûleurs à gaz, des grills et des fuites de plomberie à gaz.
