Executive Chairman, Cross London Rail Links Ltd.
Since December 2005 Douglas Oakervee has been the Executive Chairman of Cross London Rail Links Limited, and until July 2006 he was a Director of London Gateway Port Limited, formally a subsidiary of P&O, and now part of the Dubai World Ports Empire. Mr Oakervee is one of the country’s most distinguished civil engineers, with vast international experience in the successful delivery of major projects. Formerly, he oversaw the construction of the new Hong Kong airport, and was elected as the 139th President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2003.
His engineering career started in tunnelling with Charles Brand contractors, where he trained under the guidance of the late James Rennie. In 1975 he joined the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation and seven years later established his own consultancy, taking on design and project management commissions for a variety of major works throughout the Far East, including the Second Road and Rail Crossing of Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, and the Jubilee Line Extension in partnership with Babtie (now Jacob Babtie).
In 1991 he was appointed Project Director for the planning, design, procurement, construction and commissioning for the Hong Kong International Airport, on a man-made island in the South China Sea at Chek Lap Kok. Mr. Oakervee enhanced his reputation for firm control of the projects in his charge by bringing home this massive job on time and within budget between 1991 and 1999, working in close collaboration with the Chinese authorities who were taking over governance of the former colony during the period of the contract.
Since his return to the UK in 1999 he has also advised on several significant infrastructure projects both in the UK and aboard. He is also currently the Chairman for Engineers Against Poverty and through the Institution of Civil Engineers has helped facilitate better relationships between the Government and Industry in various aspects of engineering.

Director GEOLEP Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne
Aurèle Parriaux studied geology in Lausanne (Switzerland). He has a Ph.D. in hydrogeology and followed several postgraduate studies in hydrogeology, operational hydrology and geotechnics. He acquired wide experience in engineering geology in the fields of motorway construction, geological hazards, underground water and geomaterials prospecting as well as the management of natural resources.
In 1991 he was appointed Professor of engineering geology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. He is head of the Laboratory of Engineering and Environmental Geology (GEOLEP).
He has since headed a research team of about twenty people in the fields of geological hazards and underground resources. The research team’s work focuses on:
the hydrogeology of unstable slopes,
the determination of uncertainties in engineering geology and their effects,
the geological typology with regard to geological hazards,
the impact of underground works on subsoil resources,
the behaviour of cataclastic rocks in civil engineering underground works,
the geochemical imprint of underground waters by trace elements, determination of the origin of the waters,
the management of underground water on both quantitative and qualitative levels.
Parallel to research, Professor Parriaux carries out expert appraisals in various fields of engineering and environmental geology. In particular, he recently had to appraise the compatibility between the construction of tunnels and the protection of groundwater tables.
