John B. Stamberg
Education
Stanford University, M.S. in Sanitary Civil Engineering. University of Maryland, B.S. in Civil Engineering.Biography
Mr. Stamberg is responsible for directing EVA’s engineering studies. His areas of expertise include utility and industrial boilers; combustion turbine and combined cycle power plants; electric transmission; natural gas pipeline compressors; mining engineering; and pollution control systems for air and water.
Mr. Stamberg prepares feasibility studies, design cost evaluations, labor productivity studies and equipment inspection for the coal mining industry. He prepares feasibility studies, designs and inspects coal preparation facilities and conducts a variety of site investigations, sampling programs, environmental assessments, reclamation studies, and permit applications for the mining industry
John performs engineering cost and performance analysis of new construction and major modifications to coal-fired power plants and gas turbines, as well as other power generation and related facilities.
He examines pipeline delivery capacity and the cost of looping or adding compression to existing interstate and intrastate pipelines, as well as on-site evaluations of booster compression needed to supply new turbines. He also develops capital and O&M costs for compression options for gas pipelines, utilities and EPRI, including fixed versus variable speed electrical compression, combustion turbine compression, and reciprocating compression, as well as conversion of existing reciprocating units to electric drive.
John conducts building and demolition inspections for environmental hazards such as asbestos and leads the clean up, or removal, of contaminated soils.
Mr. Stamberg analyzes electrical transmission needs, impacts and costs of new or expanded electrical generation stations, inter-regional electric transmission costs and benefits to new markets in the Western United States, Texas and Louisiana. He has determined the value and impact on transmission of pump storage facilities in eastern and western locations and of compressed air energy storage for wind power.
Mr. Stamberg has conducted studies for utilities and industry for rail, barge, and ocean vessel transport of residual or other heavy oils and the heating equipment and cost to use residual oil in various boilers or combustors.
