Early Life & EducationFordyce went to George Heriot's School, Edinburgh [5] and read Civil Engineering at the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded the Charles Innes Prize [6] in 1960. Immediately after graduating he moved to the University of Leeds to study for a Diploma in Concrete Technology [2]. CareerAfter Leeds Fordyce moved to London and joined GKN Reinforcements (a subsidiary of GKN [7] analysing Concrete shell structures. He soon moved on to Lowe & Rodin [8] (now BDP) where he worked on the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. He was the sent to Glasgow to set up an office for Lowe & Rodin and there he took an MEng in Soil Mechanics and Foundation (engineering) at the University of Glasgow [2]. Fordyce next moved to Memphis, Tennessee to develop industrialised housing systems for Operation Breakthrough [9], a US Government housing programme. He returned to Preston, England in 1973 with BDP where he stayed for 11 years in a multi-disciplinary design team. He studied the use of Glassfibre Reinforced Cement (GRC) for the Building Research Establishment and co-wrote a book 'GRC and Buildings' [10] In October 1984 he took his family to Brisbane Australia to work for Cameron McNamara [11] which later merged with Kinhill but then was taken over by Kellogg Brown & Root, KBR (company). Fordyce became Principal Engineer, Project Director and Resource Group Leader for the Civil Structures group in Queensland. He worked on various projects including Townsville Hospital [12], a Customs building in Kiribati, the re-roofing of the National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, a bank and a new Chancery for the Australian High Commission in Sri Lanka, two post-independence projects for East Timor and a hospital in Bali after the terrorist bombing in 2002. Fordyce is a Director of CROSS-AUS Ltd (Confidential Reporting on Structural Safety – Australasia) [13]. He was National President of Concrete Institute of Australia in 1995-96 [14] and had an important hand in arranging reciprocal membership between Engineers Australia and the Institution of Structural Engineers. Fordyce was President of the Institution of Structural Engineers [2] [3] [15] [16] in 2004-05 and the first to be based outside the UK.
