PROJECTS

Grafton Gully Bridge

This bridge was developed to link the new Grafton Gully cycleway into the University of Auckland. A four-metre change in elevation coupled with accessibility grade restrictions produced a sweeping “S”shaped bridge with a corresponding twist through the bridge to maintain a neutral camber. I proposed overall design methodology to allow the structure of the bridge to be simply fabricated, as well as developing themoulds for the precast concrete decking slabs.

Ground Support Equipment – Air New Zealand

Liminal Engineering provide certification services to Air New Zealand for ground support equipment, including baggage trolleys, maintenance platforms and stands, and specialised lifting equipment. This work involves engineering assessment and verification to ensure compliance with relevant standards and safe operation across a variety of airside applications.

Point Resolution Bridge

As an employee of PFS Engineering, I was engaged to provide a pedestrian/cycle bridge from the Auckland waterfront across to the Parnell Baths and the Point Resolution headland. This challenging project contained the complex geometry of diamond-shaped piers and sinuously curving arches. I developed the detailed design of the bridge and managed the logistics offabrication and install, as well as the commercial management of the project.
