Bradley has over 15 years in mechanical design and construction for both building HVAC systems as well as mechanical
infrastructure experience. His more recent experience has been in the design of cogeneration systems. These designs include
cogeneration systems producing over 35 Mega-Watts (MW) of electric power and 410,000 PPH of steam generation. Bradley
concentration is the mechanical systems design of steam and chilled water generation and distribution systems.
