Corporate HeadquartersWelding Manager Mr. Shoemaker was the fossil plant welding, subject matter expert and, subsequently,

discovered a continuous-for-forty-years, welding fabrication error that potentially affected all General Electric previously installed and scheduled to be purchased generators. He also investigated/determined the possible/probable causes of catastrophic/non-catastrophic weld failures at all fossil power generating facilities. His duties included: reviewing contractor welding control manuals/programs, authoring numerous “position papers” that directed the selection/installation of filler material and/or governed preheat/post heat of weld joints, originating/overseeing welding development projects (examples: GTAW/GMAW joining of aluminum electrical bus conductors and an Electrode Flux Fume Study), creating Procedure Qualifications Records/Welding Procedure Specifications, training/testing welders, and authoring a welding and pipefitting manual. This was done as part of a basic welding course and basic pipefitting course Mr. Shoemaker taught to select plant operators at all Florida Power & Light power generating facilities. Additionally, he conducted the welding/post heat portion of the due diligence supporting Florida Power & Light's decision to purchase Georgia Power Company's Scherer Unit 4 power generating facility (i.e., a coal fired power plant).
