For over 30 years, Andreas has worked on consulting structural engineering, focusing on civil structures and associated civil works. His projects have involved residential, industrial, and commercial multi-story office buildings, shopping centers, and unit developments including significant exposure to tilt-up concrete wall construction.
Andreas is passionate about developing design solutions from first principles. He thrives on unusual or out of the ordinary projects where there¡¯s no set or predictable solution¡ªhe enjoys the opportunity to test his ingenuity and find workable options. An example? Designing a blade weir sound curtain for Newport Waterway Lock and Weir. The curtain needed to seal the spillway zone yet have longevity and provide flexibility during flow events. The solution? A curtain made of industrial conveyor belts joined in strips hanging from a steel framed gantry.
When he isn¡¯t working on civil structures and developments, Andreas enjoys spending time with the family and their dogs outdoors¡ªespecially at the beach. On the weekends, you¡¯ll also find him and his wife on a ballroom dance floor doing their best waltzes, foxtrots, and even a few rumbas.
