Niger Bridge at Ajaokuta, Nigeria (1985). Twin deck 3km long river crossing with 80m spans in river
with high scour. Longest bridge in Africa on completion.
Long Span Cable Structure. Concept for 1-2km main span; Submission for the competition ‘The Bridge
Image’ sponsored by the New Civil Engineer.
Al-Khaleej Viaduct, Saudi Arabia (1989). Precast segmental bridge with variable depth box girder.
Organic form and a main span of 130m, (typical 101m). Outstanding design of exceptional aesthetic
quality in design.
Sirsi Circle Viaduct, India (1998). 2.0 km long prestressed segmental urban viaduct. First use
of precast segmental construction in India. Design included design of launching girder and
method of construction for Contractor. Changed the Indian design standards, which previously
did not allow precast segmental construction. ACCE Som Datt Award for Sirsi Circle flyover at
Bangalore from Association of Consulting Civil Engineers, India.
Jeddah – Makkah Expressway. Saudi Arabia (1985). Longest urban viaduct in the world at completion.
Dual 12.5 km structure completely precast including 8 ramp/viaduct junctions. Exceptional
aesthetic merit.
Diwan Underpass, Saudi Arabia (1981)
Cut and cover underpass adjacent to the sea-front in Jeddah. Sole responsibility for design of
structures and lighting, including bespoke luminaires and textures precast concrete retaining walls.
Wadi Mujib Bridge, Jordan (1994). 80m span cable supported bridge with precompressed encased
stays. Longest span bridge in Jordon on completion.
Special Structures:
Confidential Roof: (2012 ): Concept design for an ultra-long span roof in the Gulf.
Makkah Royal Clock Tower (2008-2012): Design of transfer structure and peer review of the second
tallest building in the world (610m).
Pyramidal Tension cable roof, Saudi Arabia (1985). Modules of 44m x 75m- continuous to from roof
352m x 150m.
Muna Bulk storage reservoir, Saudi Arabia (1986). Cable stayed shell roof 340m diameter. One of the
largest concrete shell roofs in the world. The clear span of 210m and the overall diameter are larger
than the Millennium Dome in the UK, and the concrete material give long life and minimal
maintenance in a very harsh environment.
Cairo Stadium Roof, Egypt (1991). 120m diameter and 60m diameter tension cable roof. Using
conventional prestressing strand with straight cables to define a cable net allowed inexperienced
contractors to build a complex structure in record time.
Car park at the Prophet’s Mosque, Medina, Saudi Arabia (1992). A multi-level underground car park
with 3,000 spaces and 70m spans. Utilising bridge engineering techniques and construction
methodology to construct one of the largest car parks in a very sensitive site enclosing the Mosque on
three sides.
He also acts as an internal reviewer and specialist advisor on airport, off-shore projects and
