On completion of my studies I joined the Milton Keynes Development Corporation and was engaged on the design of culverts, a side weir, flumes and river works for the Tongwell Balancing Reservoir and the spillway for a dam.

In 1973 I joined Lemon and Blizard, where I worked on various flood prevention schemes, including one at Tadley which Involved hydrographic investigation, hydraulic and structural designsnd contract supervision of flood prevention works including a balancing pond with side weir overflow, flumes, control gates, a siphon, tunnels, culverts and training works. Associated structural works included a road bridge, two slender arch footbridges and reinforced masonry retaining walls. In addition I undertook the contract supervision of the construction of Sawston, Foxton and Fowlmere Sewage Treatment Works, the complete structural design of filters, elevated inlet works, a scre pumping station and settlement tanks for Cambridge Sewage treatment works, the earthquake resistant design of Dhypotamus high lift pumping station, a large cover service reservoir, water tower etc. for the water supply scheme to Nicosia. In general I provided a structural design service for all three offices of Lemon and Blizard and undertook numerous designs of tanks, reservoirs, pumping stations and buildings. In 1979 I left Lemon and Blizard to set up my own practice.

Since then I have been engaged on a wide variety of work, some of which is described on this website. Apart from a short period in the 1980’s I have carried out all the work myself, certainly all the work described here. The practice became a limited company in 2002.
