| Emerging Structural Engineers Network – Lightning Talks
SESOC ESE welcome our engineers into 2023 with another round of Lightning Talks to kick off the year. Tuesday 21 February The Lightning Talks feature five of our emerging structural engineers. Each engineer will have 5-10 minutes to give a brief insight into a project they are working on followed by some open Q+A and a chance to share experiences. Our presenters for this event will include: Dylan Proudfoot – Mass Timber Project |
||
 |
Dylan is a structural engineer at Beca who has been working on adopting CLT floors as an alternative to metal deck concrete flooring on the Burnham Single Living Accommodation. With a key design criteria of sustainability in the forefront of our minds, mass timber has become a prominent design material. Dylan will discuss the design challenges and lessons learnt from this project, with an emphasis on steel/timber hybrid structures. | |
| Duncan Ross – Eco-house | ||
 |
Duncan is a graduate structural engineer at Pocket Engineering and will be sharing his experience designing a new eco-house in Havelock North. The architectural detailing to achieve the desired air tightness and thermal performance required careful and sensitive engineering design and coordination. This coupled with the high seismic demands and sloping site led to some challenging engineering solutions.

|
| Luis John – Strengthening of Carillon Tower | ||
 |
Luis is a structural engineer at Holmes who will be sharing some of his recent work producing an assessment and concept strengthening schemes for Carillon Tower in Wellington. He will share a brief history of the function of the tower, some of the assessment techniques implemented, and the challenges faced. | |
| Richard Dyer – Backcountry Engineering at DOC | |
 |
Richard is a structural engineer at the Department of Conservation. He will be talking about the challenges with remote construction in some of New Zealand’s harshest environments and touch on some of the work carried out by DOC engineers around New Zealand to manage the vast number of aging backcountry structures. |
