ā€œMy career in engineering has given me opportunities to work on exciting and challenging projects, to see my designs being constructed in the real world around me has given me a great sense of pride.ā€

Maddie is a Chartered Senior Geotechnical Engineer who has been with Walsh since 2022.

She has extensive expertise in foundation design, complex ground movement assessments, and temporary works. A career highlight includes her work on 100 West Cromwell Road, where she helped deliver significant sustainability benefits by reusing existing core piles from a former tower alongside a limited number of new piles to support a 35-story tower.

Currently, Maddie is working on the Paddington Green Police Station development, where her analyses of existing diaphragm wall reuse for a major basement extension and piled raft design have been instrumental in enhancing the project’s sustainability.

A confident Project Manager, Maddie has strong skills in scoping, coordinating, and supervising geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigations, managing project resourcing and financials and developing client relationships. Maddie leads the Walsh geotechnical analysis team but also has detailed experience of RuFuS protocol and the reuse of existing foundations such as 9 Millbank and Camden Goods Yard.

She has been a key contributor to multiple award-winning geo-engineering projects and was shortlisted for the Ground Engineering ā€˜Rising Starā€™Ā award for young geotechnical engineers. In 2021, she won The Geological Societyā€™s Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology William Dearman Early Career Author Award.
