Geotechnical Project Engineer Jonathan Durnell has recently joined Wood & Grieve Engineers’ based in the Sydney office, and working across Australia to offer our clients a better understanding of how ground conditions can impact the design, delivery and operation of infrastructure and commercial construction projects.

Jonathan can advise on all aspects of ground engineering across all stages of a project, including feasibility, site investigation, design, construction and asset management. To understand and manage the hazards, risks and opportunities associated with geotechnical, geological, geomorphological and groundwater aspects of our projects.

Key strengths include:

  • Review of existing information and provision of focused site specific advice
  • Specifying, procuring and managing external geotechnical sub-consultants and contractors
  • Geotechnical asset assessment and management
  • Constructability advice and construction support

Jonathan says he is looking forward to working on current and future projects to support all aspects of WGE. “The WGE team are working on some great projects and I’m pleased to be able to help guide the design and construction process with pragmatic advice on the ground conditions.”

Sydney Office Manager, Joseph Walsh says that Jonathan brings technical and practical expertise that would otherwise need to be out-sourced.

“We are very pleased to welcome Jonathan to the team and offer our clients a more complete understanding of the risks and opportunities of their site.”
