I have gained experience in geotechnical design over a wide range of geological settings throughout Ireland and New Zealand. My background in the site investigation industry provides a keen insight into design, procurement and over-sight of ground investigations works. Within SLR, I have prepared geological / geotechnical and environmental desk top studies and technical literature reviews for road and rail infrastructure projects and environmental assessments. Desk studies involved gathering and collating published data on topography, geomorphology, quaternary geology, solid bedrock, historical land use, environmental, hydrology and hydrogeology. They also involved interpretation of aerial photographs and ground truthing of the data by means of site walkover surveys.I have undertaken many specific sand and gravel and rock resource assessments and geotechnical stability assessments throughout Ireland and New Zealand. These works have included desktop searches and site investigations including borehole drilling, geophysical surveys at targeted locations and discontinuity mapping. I have also undertaken aggregate quality assessments on active quarries to assess their suitability as high specification aggregate producers, including pyrite assessments by face mapping and thin section analysis. I have been on-site geologist both onshore and offshore for many different exploration projects including gold, lead-zinc, underground coal gasfication and other renewable energy drilling projects, this involved drilling rig management, reporting, health & safety, wireline supervision and core logging.I have prepared many geological, soils, subsoils and geomorphology sections for Environmental Impact Statements for quarries and other large infrastructure projects.
