As part of my role, I led the durability/materials design for the permanent tunnel and shaft structures for Thames Tideway West, which comprised an assessment of the steel and concrete materials used on the project. To meet the 120 year design life, the assessment was required to go above and beyond compliance with current codes of practice, and combine the most up-to-date industry guidance, model codes, and probabilistic assessment models to obtain design parameters for structural… Show more As part of my role, I led the durability/materials design for the permanent tunnel and shaft structures for Thames Tideway West, which comprised an assessment of the steel and concrete materials used on the project. To meet the 120 year design life, the assessment was required to go above and beyond compliance with current codes of practice, and combine the most up-to-date industry guidance, model codes, and probabilistic assessment models to obtain design parameters for structural elements.I was also lead designer on the King George’s Park worksite (Thames Tideway West) – overseeing and coordinating the delivery of the permanent works, comprising a segmental shaft, SFRC shaft secondary lining and internal works. I was also involved in the design of a pressurised SFRC double-lined 2.6m ID tunnel on a very tight alignment passing under the river Thames and in close proximity to significant developments.During this time, I was also seconded to the Joint Venture BMB on the Thames Tideway West project, to facilitate the implementation of the Designer’s requirements during the construction phase.

I was involved in a range of projects, including the structural design and checking of temporary and permanent elements for the Lee Tunnel shafts and tunnel lining. I also analysed ground movements caused by tunnelling at Whitechapel station, as part of Crossrail C510 project. Other projects have included the design of repair works, numerical analysis of the behaviour of tunnel linings, a Front End Engineering Design for a cable tunnel, and the publication of two papers – one on the behaviour… Show more I was involved in a range of projects, including the structural design and checking of temporary and permanent elements for the Lee Tunnel shafts and tunnel lining.
