He was born in Liverpool and received a BSc and BEng from the University of Liverpool. Pratley then apprenticed with Francis Morton & Co. Ltd. in Garston, Lancashire. In 1906, he came to Canada, first working for the Locomotive and Machine Company and then for the Dominion Bridge Company, both based in Montreal. In 1908, he earned a MEng from the University of Liverpool. In 1909, Pratley played an important role in the planning of the Quebec Bridge over the Saint Lawrence River. He went on to work with the Saint Lawrence bridge company in the construction of the Quebec bridge. He was also involved in the construction of the Boucanne River Viaduct and the Saint John Highway Arch Bridge in New Brunswick. In 1920, he conducted a review of the bridges on the Grand Trunk Railway on behalf of the Canadian government. The following year, Pratley formed the consulting company Monsarrat & Pratley in partnership with Charles Monsarrat. The company was responsible for the design and supervision of construction of the Jacques Cartier Bridge at Montreal, the Île d'Orléans Bridge at Quebec City, the Lions Gate Bridge at Vancouver, the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge at Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Burlington Bay Skyway Bridge near Hamilton, Ontario.[1][1] At the time of his death, Pratley was working on the Champlain Bridge at Montreal and the Cornwall North Channel Bridge at Cornwall, Ontario. His son, Hugh, was also a bridge designer, whose work included collaborating with his father on the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, and completing the Champlain Bridge.[2][1][3] In 2005, Pratley was designated a Person of National Historic Significance by the government of Canada.[4] A commemorative plaque has been placed at the northern approach to the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/champlain-bridge-is-falling-down-montreal-pays-for-past-penny-pinching/article15699180/|title=Champlain Bridge is falling down: Montreal pays for past penny-pinching |last=Perreaux |first=Les |date=29 November 2013|work=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=2013-11-30}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Pratley, Philip Louis}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/l06-130 |title=Philip Louis Pratley (1884-1958): bridge design engineer |publisher=National Research Council of Canada |last=Passfield |first=Robert W |accessdate=2013-03-27}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jonathan-kay-why-is-montreals-champlain-bridge-built-within-living-memory-already-on-its-last-legs |title=Jonathan Kay: Why is Montreal's Champlain Bridge, built within living memory, already on its last legs? |last=Kay |first=Jonathan |date=17 January 2014|work=National Post|accessdate=2018-02-03}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=10912 |title=Pratley, Philip Louis National Historic Person |publisher=Parks Canada |accessdate=2018-02-03}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMPAA0_Pratley_Philip_Louis_National_Historic_Person_Montreal_Qc |title=Pratley, Philip Louis National Historic Person, Montreal, QC |accessdate=2018-02-03}} 8 : 1884 births|1958 deaths|Canadian civil engineers|People from Liverpool|Persons of National Historic Significance (Canada)|Alumni of the University of Liverpool|English civil engineers|British bridge engineers |
