Projects:
HS2 – Greatmoor No.4 Watercourse Diversion (Completed Date: Jan 2023)
I led design of the watercourse diversion. This saw me design:
- Sinuosity to a heavily modified straightened channel
- A channel appropriate for the size of catchment.
- Step pool and cascade features.
- Natural gravels in the channel bed to create Riffle features.
- A stable and vegetated channel encouraging habitat establishment.
HS2 – River Ray Watercourse Diversion (Completed Date: Oct 2022)
I led design of the watercourse diversion. This saw me design:
- A channel appropriate for the size of catchment.
- Enhancement through the incorporation of berms.
- Natural gravels in the channel bed and within the base of the culvert to create Riffle features.
- A stable and vegetated channel encouraging habitat establishment.
Loch Katrine Landslip Emergency Works Scotland (Completed Date: Sep 2021)
An emergency works project to reopen the road damaged by landslips. I was the lead designer & produced the designs for the construction of temporary & permanent repairs of watercourse crossings & realignments to reopen the access road around Loch Katrine (Glasgow’s water source).
I am a Chartered Civil Engineer who specialises in watercourse/drainage design. My career has spanned many disciplines such as dams and reservoirs, surface water drainage to culverts and watercourse diversions. I have designed watercourse diversions on jobs such as the A9, A82, HS2 & Loch Katrine Landslip. I have undertaken all RRC hydromorphology training courses and am currently applying these principles in my day-to-day job as demonstrated by my project examples.
