Gerwyn Price is an internationally known research worker investigating the behaviour of foundations. His detailed and practical approach to investigative research has allowed him to successfully determine soil/structure interaction relationships for a number of Civil Engineering projects, ie, group behaviour of piles, pile/raft relationships, the effect of tunnelling on foundations, full scale behaviour of settlement reducing piles, non destructive testing of full scale marine structures, the effects of lateral loads on piles and structures.
His investigation into the performance of under‑reamed piles in expansive soils in India led to the re‑writing of several Indian Standards. His advice and participation in the testing of a marine jetty in France allowed its continued use saving over £4,000,000. The innovative techniques he has developed for his work have provided the core of more than a dozen PhDs in the UK and abroad, the most recent in Italy on the group behaviour of the piled foundation for a new motorway bridge.
Over the past 20 years Gerwyn Price has worked closely with many of the countries leading Consultants and Contractors on projects that have varied from designing the largest load cells ever installed in working piles under several major buildings in the UK, to developing sensitive and stable movement monitoring equipment for the Mansion House, the Royal Courts of Justice and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In August 1992 his experience in mining, civil engineering and detailed understanding of monitoring techniques allowed him to successfully install the computerised control systems for the first major compensation grouting project in the UK at Waterloo Main Line Station
In 1990 Mr Price gave the Sir Dugald Clerk lecture for the Institution of Civil Engineers. 'Electronic controls in the Construction Industry.'
In 1993 Mr Price started Construction Monitoring Control Systems (CMCS). Since it’s formation CMCS has carried out about £ 8 M of monitoring work for the construction Industry.
Mr Price was also made a visiting Professor at South Bank University.
