Omar, his award and the Dr. Sauer & Partners Team at Bank
The engineering solution of the pile interception for up to 70 piles affected by the alignment of the new Northern line running tunnels was a joint collaborative achievement of integrated teamwork between TfL/LU as Owner, Dragados as Lead Contractor and Lead Designer and Dr. Sauer & Partners as specialist Tunnelling Consultant. The team was responsible for developing the structural solutions, modelling the settlement images onto the third-party damage assets (buildings), with GCG and Alan Baxter and Associates providing the building damage assessment.
The award not only recognises a great individual performance by Omar for his excellent paper and first class presentation in front of a full audience. It is also a recognition of the united Bank project spirit in which collaboration and integration is more than just a commitment on paper but a real attitude fully embraced by representatives of the Owner (LU), the Main Contractor & Designer (Dragados) as well as multiple specialist sub-consultants, and sub-contractors; a team of which Dr. Sauer & Partners is proud to be part.
