Through his significant use of the Considère system and in wrapping of the reinforcement with heavy helical ligatures; his use of pre-cast tilt slabs, panels, pipes and other pre-cast elements build under his own patented pneumatic systems; and the construction of large concrete silos. However, the spectacular large spans and daring designs of the Dennys Lascelles Austin wool store at Geelong, the Barwon Sewer Aqueduct over the Barwon River, Geelong, and the Launceston Railway Workshops, are his most significant works. He also pioneered reinforced concrete pontoons and ships, and constructed for the Sydney Harbour Trust, what is believed to have been the largest floating pontoons in the world at the time. 1886 1892 Education - Sydney High School, New South Wales 1892 1892 Education - Passed Public Service Examination, New South Wales 1892 1892 Education - Matriculated, University of Sydney 1892 1894 Career position - Cadetship, Public Works Department, New South Wales, under Percy Allan MInstCE 1894 1896 Career position - Engineering Draftsman, Public Works Department, New South Wales, under R.
