Presentation by John St Leger, Head of Technology and James Gale, Senior Project Engineer from Strainstall
John St Leger is a Chartered Engineer with over 35 years of professional experience in the fields of designing, constructing, strengthening and managing structures including bridges, buildings, tunnels and offshore wind turbines. Using the latest techniques, he has actively led development work in the improvement of inspection and monitoring systems for structures.
James Gale is a Senior Project Engineer with experience in a diverse range of measuring techniques and specially developed data acquisition instruments that are used to analyse and solve problems in the construction industry. His experience includes the project and commercial management of the extensive monitoring system at the Blackfriars Station redevelopment project in London.
The long-term safety, durability and performance of structures mainly depend on good detail design, the quality of materials used and the standard of workmanship achieved on site. Unfortunately, defects do occur in structures for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from poor design to a lack of maintenance. The investigation and assessment of defects is a demanding task, which in many cases requires the use of experienced staff, supported where necessary by specialist inspection and monitoring techniques. The presentation describes the use of practical structural monitoring solutions currently implemented in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, geotechnical based structures and wind turbines. A number of case studies will be used to demonstrate the range of techniques used.
