Arnold A. Whipple
Arnold Whipple brings over 45 years of federal program management, project controls, and business leadership to Energration. He founded and led Informatics Corporation, growing the firm to $44M in annual revenue and 450 staff while winning 36 competitively awarded federal prime contracts and operating across multiple GSA Federal Supply Schedule vehicles.
His project controls and EVMS experience includes direct leadership roles at two of the DOE complex’s most demanding sites: Director of Project Controls and Site-Wide Integration at Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth GDP, and EVMS consulting engagements at Los Alamos National Laboratory during contract transitions. He has managed multi-year technical support programs spanning Portsmouth, Paducah, Savannah River, and LANL, and has supported M&O proposal development for major DOE acquisitions.
Arnold’s career demonstrates something few practitioners in this space can claim — he has not only performed cost engineering and project controls work, but built and scaled the organizations that deliver it. His experience informs Energration’s approach to staffing, federal capture, and program-level execution.
Basil Human, P.E.
Basil Human is a licensed Professional Engineer (State of Tennessee, #20747) with 42 years of experience in engineering management, DOE capital project delivery, and proposal management.
His engineering career includes serving as Engineering Manager for the Transuranic Waste Processing Center (TWPC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory — a Category II nuclear facility — where he led multi-discipline engineering, DSA compliance, and engineering program implementation. He has led proposal management efforts for contract values exceeding $1.6B, including the five-year Portsmouth D&D Project contract extension covering the Onsite Waste Disposal Facility and facility decommissioning.
Basil’s recent work includes lifecycle estimate development for the 2025 Paducah Federal Site covering D&D, environmental cleanup, and waste disposition under DOE Order 413.3B, as well as project estimating plan, PEP, and acquisition strategy development for DOE programs. His combination of licensed PE credentials, nuclear facility engineering management, and large-scale proposal leadership gives him an end-to-end view of DOE capital project delivery — from engineering design through baseline development, change control, and contract execution.
Lou Springer
Lou Springer leads Energration’s technology development, bringing over 25 years of experience in enterprise architecture, AI systems, and cloud platform engineering. He is responsible for the design and development of Energration’s internal productivity suite, which includes Cairn (estimating), Eudorus (agentic coordinator), and Sundial (EVMS artifact engine); each built on formal domain models that codify the governing standards (AACE recommended practices, EIA-748 guidelines, DOE orders) before application code is written.
His technical background spans ontology and semantic modeling, AI/LLM agent architectures, and cloud-native engineering across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Snowflake. He holds SnowPro Core, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect (70-535), and SAFe 4.0 Implementer certifications.
Lou’s contribution to Energration is the bridge between domain expertise and scalable technology. Where the firm’s cost engineers and project controls practitioners bring decades of DOE experience, Lou translates that knowledge into formal, machine-readable models that power software capable of automating procedural overhead, validating compliance, and preserving institutional knowledge across contract transitions.
Albert D. Whipple
Albert Whipple leads Energration’s cost engineering and estimating practice, with roughly 20 years of experience delivering AACE-classified estimates, forensic cost analysis, and quantitative risk assessments for DOE capital projects. His work spans the full estimate lifecycle — from Class 5 conceptual screening through Class 1 check estimates — across Hanford, PNNL, Savannah River Site, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
At Hanford, he served as project manager and lead forensic cost analyst for fee recovery efforts, building a multi-source cost model with full lateral traceability across approximately 70 discrete scopes while coordinating with outside legal counsel to produce a defensible claims package. He has led REA development, FAR-compliant fee proposals, and executable baseline construction, contributing to more than $2.7M in demonstrated fee recovery. His estimating portfolio includes numerous civil/structural reliability projects, budget estimates for infrastructure projects, and independent cost estimates for laboratory facilities at PNNL.
Albert also brings direct experience on the government side of DOE acquisitions, having performed cost realism and reasonableness analysis for Hanford procurements — evaluating offeror cost proposals, developing IGCEs, and authoring recommended realism adjustments. That dual perspective shapes how he builds estimates and claims packages: with a clear understanding of how they will be tested.
