City rail loop (CRL) contractor WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff is appointing John Seward as its New Zealand geotechnics and tunnels team manager.
Seward is a skilled geotechnical engineer with experience in the transport, property, and power markets.
WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff executive Doug Graham says Seward’s appointment aligns with the company’s strategic growth in New Zealand.
” Seward’s experience in geotechnics, engineering geology, and geoenvironmental engineering complements our NZ-based team,” says Graham.
“He has worked on high and low-rise residential developments, city centre regeneration, healthcare, and education, geothermal and hydropower projects, mine infrastructure, railway and roading infrastructure and numerous geotechnical site investigations,” says Graham.
Seward has a strong background leading projects involving building geotechnics, reinforced earth, slope stability assessment, modeling and remediation according to WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff.
“His emphasis on technically-sound geotechnical solutions will be invaluable to our clients, our team and it will strengthen our offering for the City Rail Loop,” says Graham.
