Profile

Brian Hawkins has been actively in engineering geology/geotechnical engineering for more than thirty years in an academic and practical role, both in the UK and abroad.

Appointed Reader in Engineering Geology at the University of Bristol in 1979, he supervised many PhD students working on:
• slope stability problems in engineering soils and engineering rocks
• ground chemistry – particularly the development of ground sulphates
• the stability/remediation of mines and tunnels

He is frequently invited to lecture at Universities and International Conferences and to be involved in field visits, eg the Jinping Hydroelectric scheme in South West China.

Most recently much of his time has been involved with legal work – preparing Opinions and giving oral evidence at mediations, arbitrations and in both the Commercial and Crown Courts. This work has mainly been related to slope problems and ground chemistry.

Allied with this, he is working on the development of an appropriate protocol for the assessment of potentially aggressive material containing sulphide/sulphates for use in civil works.
