Project Manager – Maidenhead, Windsor & Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS) Client: Environment Agency Responsibility £20M ICE 6th project for construction of a Flood Alleviation Channel between Dorney and Eton. Works involved construction of 17 structures, two of which were alternative designs to overcome problems the client had with existing services. The excavation of the new 9km channel and associated wet land areas involved excavation of 3 million cubic metres of material of which 2 million tons of gravel were exported from site, the balance of the material being incorporated into the various landscaped areas. Actively involved in the purchase of the Earthworks fleet including; 10 x 30 t Dump trucks, 2 x 45t excavators, 2 x 30t excavators, 2 Komatsu D6 blades, 14G Grader and a Cat D8 together with all necessary support vehicles and fitting shops. The plant was fitted with GPS equipment thus becoming independent of relying on the traditional engineering staff setting out for the excavation of the Channel, which was a very effective way of creating the river profile and landscape areas. Other duties involved dealing with various stakeholders ranging from Windsor Castle to Eton College.
Project Manager – Mersey River Wall Stabilisation (Contract 2) Responsible for the procurement and negotiations with the principle Subcontractor Sillanpaa, for the supply and delivery of rock, which was scoured locally in North Wales and supplemented from Arklow Southern Ireland. The project involved the construction of 2 number 250 metre long rock groynes which were constructed on a geotextile foundation, each groyne contained 60,000 tonnes of rock of which were encased by 3-6 tonnes armour stone. In order to minimise disruption to the local community working all available tides the rock was shipped by side-stone dumping Vessel (The Mari) from a rock handling facility at nearby Birkenhead Docks. By working in this manner we managed to minimise disruption to the local community.
Reconstruction of Immingham West Lead-in Jetty Client: Associated British Ports (ABP) £10M ICE Design and Construct project with designer Halcrow involved the reconstruction of 440m of lead-in jetty and the installation of 180 760mm diameter x 40 metre tubular piles which were installed working off a six leg jack up barge, Karlissa using a vibratory hammer and an S90 hammer. The piling, demolition of the existing jetty and subsequent reconstruction was carried out whilst the port remained fully operational. The jetty deck was constructed in a combination of precast and in-situ concrete. The 700 precast units were manufactured on site. Follow-on work involved the supply of a new fendering system and the associated deck furniture. M&E consisted of replacing the potable water and fire fighting systems, together with the appropriate lighting and navigational systems. Additional work was undertaken direct to Conoco under subcontract for the supply of additional pipe bridges.
La Collette Breakwater St Helier, Jersey Client: States of Jersey £23.7M ICE 5th Jersey modified project with responsibility for the tender planning and subsequent construction of La Collette Breakwater.

The balance being delivered from the local island supplier Ronez. The rock was delivered to a purpose built berth by the following barges: Charlie 4,500 tonne capacity Alpha 4,500 tonne capacity RSB1 9,000 tonne capacity Bamble 2,000 tonne capacity Lapis 20,000 tonne capacity (off loaded at sea and transhipped using the Charlie and Bamble barges). The sidestone dumping vessels Frans and Pompei (1.000 tonne capacity) were also used. The works were carried out in a 12 metre tidal zone and the breakwater was 1760 metres long. Also incorporated in the works was a 420 metre long precast culvert which was proposed as an alternative and was designed in-house and built insitu by the site team. This project was the subject of a presentation at the Coastlines, Structures and Breakwaters Conference at the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1998.
