ANNE DAVIDSON

STRUCTURAL DESIGNER, EIT

Miss Davidson is a highly accomplished Structural Engineer in Training (EIT) with expertise in Heritage Conservation, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Fire Safety Engineering (FSE). Her passion for integrating sustainable practices with innovative structural design has gained her recognition as a leading authority in the field.

Miss Davidson's fascination with ancient architecture led her to embark on a remarkable journey of surveying and documenting ancient temples in Bagan, Myanmar. In addition to her work in Myanmar, Miss Davidson played a crucial role in the development of a heritage orientated construction management team for the rehabilitation project of Canada's Centre Block Parliament building. Her experiences and holistic approach to projects ensure that the historical significance of the building is upheld and protected, even in the event of fire, while integrating modern technologies and sustainable materials.

Furthermore, Miss Davidson's expertise in FSE has been instrumental in developing innovative strategies to enhance the resilience of structures against fire hazards while prioritizing sustainability and cultural preservation. Her ground-breaking work in developing models describing charring behaviours of heritage timber connections and fire behaviour of CLT (Cross-Laminated-Timber) compartments has been a significant contributor to the field of Fire Safety Engineering and Heritage Conservation.

Miss Davidson's contributions to the field of structural engineering extend beyond heritage sites and fire safety. She has been a driving force in the advancement of Building Information Modeling (BIM) practices, revolutionizing the industry's approach to collaborative design and construction processes by integrating specialized engineering calculations within BIM environments. Her insights have significantly improved efficiency and accuracy in structural design and analysis.
