As an Engineer accredited in Conservation (CARE) and a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Ed Morton will present lessons learnt from a few projects he has undertaken in London, including the moving of the Waterpoint at the rear of King’s Cross Station, the re-roofing at The Palace of Westminster, and works at Westminster Abbey and others.
He has specialist engineering experience in the conservation, repair and adaption of historic buildings, bridges and structures. His work has extended internationally including Honk Kong, Guyana, Malta, Pakistan, Egypt, the Falkland Islands, Germany and Ireland.
For the CARE Panel he has been involved with the preparation of the Demolition Guidance Note, now published by The Institution of Civil Engineers and Institution of Structural Engineers.
He obtained his degree in Civil Engineering from King’s College, London and is keen that younger engineers and those recently post chartered develop an understanding of Adaptive Reuse, Urban Regeneration, Condition Assessment, Structural Repairs, Historic Preservation and a range of other Conservation Issues. Ed lectures widely on courses related to Conservation Engineering.
