David (Dave) joined the ASWA team at a crucial stage in the alliance, where, to manage critical schedule risk, the key project focus was the detailed planning of tunnelling activities, plant and equipment selection and integration into the wider plant design.  Through his solutions orientated thinking and building from his significant experience, Dave quickly understood the key challenges and brought innovation and critical thinking in a fully co-operative and collaborative manner. Dave is a pleasure to have on the team, installing confidence that tunnelling risks and challenges have been identified and addressed from safety, production, plant reliability and quality amongst other considerations. With his commitment, experience, leadership style and approach, I would welcome David back on future tunnelling projects without hesitation.

 Dave was a big help in finalising the technical scope for the 2 TBM’s for the Alkimos Desal Project. It’s a very challenging project, with an extremely tight delivery schedule required. It was paramount to nail down technical details within weeks of Herrenknecht being selected as the preferred TBM supplier, and the fact that we were able to do this with someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Dave made the whole process so much easier. We look forward to being involved in further projects with Dave in the future
