Overview:

Cristina has experience in the refining and petrochemical industry from both a consulting and an owner-user perspective.  Prior to joining CorrSolutions, she spent eleven years in industry in a project management role for both capital improvements and maintenance expense projects for companies including Mobil Oil, Amoco Chemical, Fluor Daniel, and Del Mar College.  She is experienced in project management techniques for successful implementation of capital projects including design, procurement, controls, and construction.  She is also experienced in the management, planning, and oversight of equipment repairs, spending some of her career in technical service and turnaround support roles.  In addition, Cristina has upstream experience supporting oil production in West Texas.

In her current role at CorrSolutions, Cristina provides both project management and project support for RBI implementation and reassessments through use of Equity Software®’s PlantManager® in accordance with the methodology of API RP 580/581.  She is responsible for many aspects of project execution from the gathering of mechanical data and inspection history of fixed equipment, pressure relief devices, and piping to the delivery of inspection plans.  She also develops drawings that illustrate process systems and circuits, corrosion loops, damage mechanisms, equipment metallurgy, and inventory groups on process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) in Bluebeam and AutoCAD.

Her focus on technical accuracy and her project management and organizational skills are a valued resource through all phases of the inspection planning process.
