It is a pleasure to welcome Geotechnical Engineer, Jack Allison, to our Birmingham office. Specialising in geotechnics, Jack graduated from Nottingham Trent University with first class honours in Civil Engineering and followed this with a master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering from The University of Birmingham. Jack brings several years’ experience providing geotechnical design and consultancy services on multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects in the UK.
Jack is experienced in the design of deep and shallow foundations, retaining structures, reinforced earth, and slope stabilisation measures. He has particular expertise in the assessment and remediation of railway earthworks to prevent failure. Jack has also prepared geotechnical desk studies, ground investigation specifications, and interpretive geotechnical reports for projects in various ground conditions. He has also spent time on site, supervising both construction and ground investigation works for highways, rail, and water projects. He has supervised the construction of reservoir remediation works, provided geotechnical site support for local authority highway schemes and supervised site works for several large railway ground investigation projects in London.
Jack led the geotechnical design for two new UK railway stations, including shallow foundations, bored and driven pile foundations, gravity retaining walls, sheet pile and bored pile retaining walls, and earthworks. Following this, Jack worked on the Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station, leading teams of engineers and technicians, delivering the design and 3D modelling of early earthworks and retaining structures to facilitate construction.
We are delighted to welcome Jack to the business.
