Derek E. Slovenec

Dr. Slovenec is a member of the Mechanical & Structural Engineering Team at E2G. As a member of this team, he evaluates the reliability of existing structural systems which support various types of equipment within the petrochemical and other refining facilities and provides repair plans to address any deficiencies. He also performs various consulting projects using ASME BPVC Section VIII, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Fitness-For-Service, and other industry standard methodologies.

Dr. Slovenec also supports the Engineering Practices Team by managing the Engineering Best Practices for marine facilities and many civil/structural engineering topics, as well as the development of a new series of Structural Integrity program practices.

Dr. Slovenec earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. His research focused on developing a performance-based design methodology for multiple hazards (seismic, blast, wind, impact, etc.) as well as the investigation of a seismic rehabilitation technique for steel structures. This research included the application of fundamental theory, computational methods, and large-scale experimental testing.
