Speaker Bio:
Mr. King has 18 years of structural engineering experience dealing with structures of various types, sizes and intended uses. These structures have been constructed with a variety of materials including steel, wood, concrete and aluminum and have been employed both above and below ground. Mr. King has spent the last 12 years designing support for excavation structures utilizing rolled steel beams and plates, often combined with timber. The vast majority of these structures are temporary, but several have been final, long-term structures. Design efforts have included dozens of projects across North America and Central America.
