Prof. L. Boswell - Head of Civil Engineering, City University, C.Eng., F.I. Civil Engineers

Laurie Boswell is an expert in structural design and engineering of major chemical plants and buildings. He has been involved in both practical and theoretical earthquake analysis on Suregrove projects in order to estimate potential loss scenarios to concrete and steel structures, equipment and bulks within industrial plant.

Laurie has over 30 years experience in structural analyses both onshore and offshore. The combination of a theoretical approach and empirical data on earthquake loss makes it possible to produce an insurance risk engineering service in this field which has a properly developed methodology supported by calculations.

Laurie has written several books which are widely used in university courses and has presented many papers on civil design and construction.

Facilities are also available for testing construction, destructive testing, failure analysis and investigative work.
