Contact email ben.rowe@ramboll.co.uk and work +44 7739 248705I’ve had the privilege to work on some of the UK’s most notable schemes including the National Graphene Institute and Mary Rose Museum and Internationally I’ve worked in some of the most sensitive and harsh climates, including the Falklands and most recently the Antarctic. My skills in the design and coordination of solutions for complex projects is valued by clients who appreciate my communication skills to ensure that broad strategic thinking sets a platform and route through the design process to meet their needs.My engineering career has taking me across the world and at the end of November I shall be visiting the Antarctic continent; the coldest, driest, highest and windiest place on earth. During a three month project I will be the structural engineering lead for the Halley VI Research Station relocation. Monitoring by British Antarctic Survey revealed that Halley VI, located on the Brunt Ice Shelf, is currently sitting downstream of a crack that could eventually cut the station off from the rest of the ice shelf. The relocation of the station will move it away from the crack and ensure Halley’s continued safe operation. As the structural advisor, I’ll be assessing the structural elements of the research station prior, during and post relocation. While my primary role is structural advisor, I’ll also be contributing to the projects overall management, supporting the project team on other work required. This pooling of resources is critical to maximising efficiencies during Antarctic operations, where working in extreme conditions requires great teamwork and collaboration.In the UK my work spans a broad range of sectors, including public and historic buildings, science and research laboratories, residential and commercial premises. My wide ranging experience and practical common sense approach to solving problems helps to ensure we deliver a valuable contribution to our Client's projects.
