Fugro

Fugro is the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, collecting and analysing comprehensive information about the Earth and structures built upon it. Adopting an integrated approach that incorporates acquisition and analysis of Geo-data and related advice, Fugro provides solutions and advice to help our clients design, build and operate their assets. With expertise in site characterisation and asset integrity, clients are supported in the safe, sustainable and throughout the full lifecycle of their assets.

With over 20 years in both consultancy and contracting Simon Wheeler has experience in team management, interpretative and factual report writing, geotechnical design of foundations, slopes and retaining walls as well as ground investigations and project management. Simon is also a Fellow of the Geological Society.

Simon Wheeler commented: "Fugro are supporting the Managing Construction Risk as we believe that it all starts with an understanding of the ground. If the risks at this point are managed poorly then they can impact on all future aspects of the assets lifecycle. By helping provide better data at the start the impact of the residual risks should be minimised and we believe we are in a good position to assist with this."
