executive board
WSP New Zealand
Technical Principal โ Materials & Corrosion
Iโm passionate about ensuring the continued growth of New Zealand metal industries. I believe being part of HERAโs Executive allows me to continue supporting this passion โ by obtaining a better understanding of the latest structural steel challenges and finding solutions to mitigate them.
Iโm based in ลtautahi, Christchurch
Iโm a Chartered Professional Engineer with over 14 yearsโ experience.
My career started as a Graduate Civil Engineer with HERA in 2003, where my role ranged from design to structural condition assessment of steel structures. Since then Iโve had several design guides, technical articles and conference papers published โ mainly focused on the design and durability of steel structures.
As a corrosion specialist, Iโve been involved in numerous structural steel projects in both New Zealand and Australia. Ranging from durability design to monitoring and refurbishment to deliver advice inspecting road and rail structures, marine and freshwater piling, transmission towers, storage tanks and developing a coatings maintenance strategy for the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Iโm also involved with major asset owners, such as the New Zealand Transport Agency, KiwiRail, Refining NZ, Lyttelton Port, and the Bay of Plenty Regional Council โ providing technical guidance and support to ensure the continued performance (with normal maintenance) over the design life of the structure.
Tune in as we chat with our Low Carbon Design research team focused on circular design for a changing environment.
We delve into corrosion engineering and asset integrity management with Raed El Sarraf.
