Glasgow civil engineer awarded prestigious infrastructure accreditation
Michael Kilpatrick, projects director for Goodson Associates in its Glasgow office, has been named a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in Scotland.
ICE Scotland is the country’s home of infrastructure with over 8,500 members who design, build and maintain the country’s vital transport, water, flooding, energy and waste infrastructure.
Fellowship is awarded following a rigorous application process for experienced infrastructure leaders who have made a significant contribution to the profession, industry and society.
A past chair of the Institution of Structural Engineers Scottish Regional Group, Michael has almost 20 years of experience in delivering a wide range of projects in both the public and private sectors, across the UK and the Middle East. He oversees the work of around 20 staff in Goodson Associates’ Glasgow.
During his career, he has successfully delivered the conversion of Hampden Park to an Athletics Venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Waverley Renewals Project at Waverley Station in Edinburgh, and in recent years has been responsible for the Structural Engineering design of a number of projects which have repurposed and gave new life to several examples of Glasgow’s building heritage.
Michael said: “I am extremely proud to have achieved ICE Fellowship, which gives an additional level of recognition to my professional status, and highlights my contribution to the Construction Industry and society, and is also a testament to the support and guidance I’ve received from my peers and mentors during my career.
“I am excited to continue contributing to the industry and inspiring the next generation of civil engineers. This achievement fuels my commitment to strive for excellence and make a meaningful impact in the world of civil engineering.”
ICE Scotland regional director, Ben Westland, said: “I would like to congratulate Michael on his achievement. This globally recognised qualification is the ultimate recognition for a civil engineer’s knowledge, ability, and experience.
“Civil Engineers shape the world around us. Michael’s achievement shows the extent to which it can be a fulfilling and rewarding career.”
