787 Engineering plans, implements, and commissions mission-critical systems for nuclear generation and chemical processing. Principal-led engineering — nuclear-grade discipline from design through start-up, delivered directly out of Augusta, GA for operators across the Southeast.
We apply a single engineering standard — nuclear-grade — across industries where uptime, safety, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable.
Security network systems, controls, instrumentation, and commissioning for active nuclear builds. On-site partner on the first new-build U.S. reactors in a generation.
The same engineering discipline, applied to chemical plants: hazardous-area network infrastructure, safety-instrumented systems, plant commissioning. Built for operators who can't afford a second-best vendor.
We take ownership of the full lifecycle, or slot into existing programs as an engineering execution partner.
Owner-aligned coordination, planning, and scheduling across multi-contractor, multi-discipline scopes.
Design, implementation, and commissioning of plant security networks for nuclear and critical-infrastructure sites.
Plant control architecture, SIS, and field instrumentation integration across hazardous and standard environments.
FAT, SAT, system turnover, and integrated commissioning through handover to operations.
NRC, OSHA, and industry-specific compliance embedded in every deliverable — audit-ready documentation by default.
Short-form engagements for operators evaluating security, controls, or commissioning programs pre-contract.
Selected engagements. Additional references available under NDA.
Principal-led delivery of IPC software upgrades within the CDCS system on the operating fleet. Planning, implementation, and commissioning coordinated against live-plant schedules and outage windows.
Coordination, planning, scheduling, implementation, and commissioning of the full Security Network System for Unit 3 — one of the first new-build U.S. reactors in over three decades. Scope included over 30,000 fiber optic terminations, with every termination and fiber path tested at a 100% pass rate.
Same scope executed in parallel on Unit 4 — again over 30,000 fiber optic terminations, every termination and fiber path tested at a 100% pass rate. Leveraged the playbook and lessons learned from Unit 3 to drive schedule and quality on the second reactor. Commissioned and turned over.
We're actively scoping chemical-sector programs where operators need nuclear-grade discipline applied to plant controls, safety-instrumented systems, and commissioning. Early-stage conversations welcome.
The standards that govern nuclear commissioning set the floor for how we deliver every project — no two-tier process depending on the sector.
When you engage 787, you engage the practitioner — not a staffing pyramid. Scope, decisions, and delivery flow directly through a senior engineer with 15+ years in nuclear. No hand-offs, no bait-and-switch.
We're hired by operators to watch operators' interests. Schedule, quality, and safety before vendor convenience — always.
For operators evaluating a program, responding to a finding, or stress-testing a schedule. Engage 787 for focused advisory work before the RFP lands.
787 Engineering is built around principal-led delivery — senior engineering expertise applied directly, without the consulting-firm overhead.
MANAGING PARTNER
Mechanical engineer by training. Early career as a Design Engineer at The Boeing Company working on commercial aerostructures — then moved into nuclear in 2011, a deliberate step into a field where the tolerance for failure is effectively zero.
At Southern Nuclear, joined the Plant Vogtle Units 1 & 2 team as a System Outage Execution Owner, then moved into the Capital Project Group as Site Project Lead — the owner-side Implementation Manager / Project Manager responsible for executing major plant modifications. Led three landmark capital projects on the operating fleet:
Founded 787 Engineering in 2017 to bring that same execution discipline directly to owners — no pyramid staffing, no hand-offs, no layers between the problem and the practitioner.
Through 787, delivered the Security Network System on Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 — the first new-build U.S. reactors in over three decades — and is currently executing IPC software upgrades within the CDCS system on Units 1 & 2.
