"Nigel's Thoughts"

After the Christchurch earthquakes in September 2010 and February 2011, Nigel conducted building assessments and barricade positioning as a volunteer chartered engineer (pictured above third from the left with Police and Civil Defence representatives). Based on these experiences, he wrote a paper, published in the IPENZ magazine, to assist other volunteers.
