During this time, he has focused on numerous product liability investigations; premise liability investigations including slips-and-falls, trips-and-falls, and workplace safety incidents; mechanical failure analyses; and other personal injury matters.

Engineering Design

While at Iofina Resources, Inc., Mr. Mowry oversaw the design, installation, and improvement of multiple iodine extraction facilities located on salt water disposal facilities in the mid-stream oil and gas fields in northwestern Oklahoma. He performed equipment sizing and hydraulic analyses for pumps and piping systems, including acidic and caustic fluid handling systems. Mr. Mowry worked closely with project scheduling and budgeting through the design, construction, and commissioning of the facilities. While at Shaw, Stone, & Webster, he also was involved in multiple multimillion-dollar projects including overseeing the design, management, implementation, and start-up of multiple heavy equipment replacement projects at an operational nuclear power generation facility. His work at Shaw, Stone, & Webster included the replacement of the high-pressure turbine, condensate pumps and motors, low and high-pressure feedwater heaters, isolated phase bus duct cooler, main feedwater pumps and motors, and main steam and feedwater pipe support upgrades. In addition, Mr. Mowry oversaw multiple licensing and design basis evaluation projects for nuclear safety related equipment at an operational nuclear power generation facility.
