Over the years GWP has produced many publications, papers for conference and journals and on occasions software, going back to the release of Dr Alan Cobb’s slope stability computer program, GPSSP, originally developed in 1976 and included in the “Handbook on the Design of Tips and Related Structures” in 1991. GPSSP remained in regular use until just 10 years ago when programs with more developed front ends became commercially available. The links below enable you to download copies of publications, research reports, public reports, conference papers and software programs that GWP have created or been involved with. |

DUBLIN’S METRO NORTH: THE ROLE OF INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING EXPERTS – Conference paperIn 2008, the Irish Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) agreed to provide independent engineering advice for the benefit of property owners and residents possibly affected by the construction and operation of Metro North. RPA’s initially published objective was for the experts to provide to the public accessible information about the scheme and proposed mitigation measures for significant impacts. This objective quickly developed to include promotion of meaningful consultation enabling local concerns to be translated into technical solutions in some cases. This paper describes the work that was done and the value and outcomes of the appointment of independent engineering experts from both the client’s and experts’ perspectives, looking back. It reflects on: cost-benefit of this approach; how the independence of the experts was assured (and perceived); response from the community and RPA, and the deployment of listening and communication skills alongside technical expertise.
