Michael Goulding, PE, Electrical Engineer: Mike is a Project Electrical Engineer with PDC. From 1977 to 1983, Mike served in the United States Navy as a Nuclear Electrician on board a nuclear submarine. He received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Degree from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks in 1990. A 20 year resident of Alaska, Mr. Goulding joined PDC, Inc. in 1992. His work experience includes the design and construction support on airport facility upgrades, power generation, commercial and institutional building electrical systems and retrofits of a coal-fired power plant, hospital and remote facilities.

Keith Hanneman, PE, Civil Engineer: Since graduation Keith has continued to take graduate studies in Arctic Engineering and Arctic Hydrology, and has become a recognized authority in the analysis of thermal regimes within structural embankments. He has managed the design and construction administration of building, utility, transportation, and drainage projects throughout Alaska. His utility projects include studies of water and sewer system expansions, and design of sewer replacement and expansion. He has managed design for drainage for large storm sewer systems, as well as transportation design projects ranging in size from street reconstruction to major highway design. Keith is a key member of both our Utility and our Transportation Teams.

Keith graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Civil Engineering in 1985 and joined PDC the following year. In 1990, he became licensed to practice Civil Engineering in Alaska.

Greg Lyall, Senior Project Manager: Greg joined PDC as mechanical designer in 1979. Over the past ten years, Greg manages some of PDC’s most challenging, sophisticated projects from firing ranges, to hospitals, to scientific laboratory facilities. Greg is a member of our Complex Facilities Team.

Greg's formal schooling in biological sciences at San Diego State University provided him the basic science tools needed to understand system requirements for scientific facilities. This background, coupled with focus on project management, has resulted in mastery of technical, people, and organizational skills demanded of the more complex mechanical/electrical design projects. Greg is a member of our Board of Directors and serves as Corporate Secretary.

Robert Posma, PE, Electrical Engineer: Robert Posma's experience with PDC began in 1981 as a student intern. Since then he has taken on increasing responsibility in the areas of engineering analysis and computer modeling, electrical engineering design, project management, and software design and development.

Robert is a key member PDC's Facilities and Complex Facilities Teams.

Robert earned his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and Master of Engineering, Computer & Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1984 and '85. In addition to keeping up with an array of electrical engineering subjects, ranging from lighting to power control to fiber optics, he has become nationally recognized for his development with AutoCAD computer aided design and drafting programs.

Patrick Reinhard, PE, Structural Engineer: Mr. Reinhard combines his many years as a carpenter and construction superintendent with his engineering education, and plays a valuable role in our projects. He returned to school after his work in construction and graduated with honors from the University of Alaska. His interest and abilities in the computer applications of structural engineering have contributed to the development and use of many new programs in the office. Pat's design specialty is in analysis and detailing for renovations. He has provided designs for schools, housing units, offices, shops, warehouses, and industrial facilities. His designs are characterized by careful consideration of existing construction conditions. Pat has become a key member of our Industrial and Facilities Teams.
