Expert witness services relating to the design, construction and maintenance of highways
Mr Andrew Munro BSc CEng MICE MCIHT
I have over 30 years’ experience in highways design and construction, and I am an expert in the field of highway engineering and design. My expert services cover all aspects of highway and civil engineering projects, from car park construction to motorway design. This includes reporting on technical details, working practices, statutory requirements, and industry good practice.
I can provide expert analysis of:
The way I work is to provide an initial opinion for you to consider if there is a case or not, without incurring full costs. I then provide a thorough report if necessary that provides my opinion on the technical aspect of the matter in detail. I am fully familiar with the obligations on Experts placed by the Civil Procedure Rules. I prefer being honest up front about the technical merits of the argument, considering that in the longer term this is better for you, and me, if the case goes to court.
Legal Experience
Cambridgeshire County Council v BAM Nutall in the Construction and Technology Court. I was involved as a Witness of Fact, rather than an Expert as I had been personally involved in the matters of contention. Besides having first-hand knowledge of the matters in dispute, I participated in 3 out of the 4 adjudications, and assisted Counsel (Keating Chambers) and the Solicitors (BDB law) for Cambridgeshire County Council with responding to the Defence and Counter Claim. This involved briefing Counsel on the technical aspects of the dispute. I also prepared a substantial witness statement relating to those matters of which I had personal knowledge.
Expert witness in an Arbitration (XXXX v Anti-Waste Ltd 2006). I provided expert opinion on the construction of a concrete road, and gave evidence in the Arbitrator’s Court.
A47 Thorney Bypass (2003). I was the principal engineering design witness for the Highways Agency at the Public Inquiry.
