Steve is an engineering geologist with over 30 years experience. He was principal technical reviewer of “Engineering Geological Practice in Hong Kong” the Hong Kong Government’s guidance document on the application of engineering geology and co-author of “Guidelines for Natural Terrain Hazard Studies” which formed the basis of landslide risk assessment in Hong Kong until recently. He is co author of the IAEG guidelines on Engineering Geological Models and co author of the CIRIA guidelines on landslide hazards. Steve has worked on landslide hazard assessments for a hydro power project in Papua New Guinea, dam site selection in the Solomon Islands, evaluation of quarry slope stability in Laos, a proposed aggregate quarry in China and site investigations for ports in Qatar and Dubai. He has previously worked in South Africa. Steve has extensive experience in the application of engineering geology to the characterization and evaluation of rock masses for the assessment of geohazards, heavy foundations, dams, tunnels, quarries, geomaterials and contaminated land. He is the author of numerous technical papers on these themes including: rock engineering; engineering geology in geotechnical risk management; landslide hazard assessments; forensic landslide studies; and engineering geological mapping techniques. Steve also acts as an Expert Witness.
