Middle East

The construction of a new terminal building at an international Middle-East airport encountered delay and increased costs, leading to a high-value dispute between the contractor and the government, ultimately referred to International Arbitration.

For the purposes of this matter, I was asked to investigate the technical aspects of delay and disruption claims relating to the design of foundations and material quantity increases (concrete and steel reinforcement). This work included a forensic review of the impact of design alterations arising from Engineer’s Instructions, in a seismic context.
