About Earl Foster

I support the operation and maintenance strategy for the fleet’s balance of plant pumps by coordinating off-site pump repairs, developing repair specifications, troubleshooting field issues, performance testing, technical writing, fostering relationships, system analysis, and technically directing field installations.My 15+ years of experience includes supporting mechanical design efforts for various power plants throughout the company system including natural gas combined cycle units and coal-fired generating units. This ranged from reviewing the mechanical integrity of the system, calculations for pipe sizing, calculations for pump sizing, balance of plant design, system flow analysis, system layout for safety and construction access, material selection, and building specifications for valves, strainers, fittings, and other mechanical components.
