Driven by a commitment born from his experiences during the Christchurch earthquakes, Arlen embarked on a journey to contribute to the city’s restoration. Today, he is a Structural Chartered Professional Engineer in low rise structures, having graduated with a civil engineering degree BE(Hons) from the University of Canterbury in 2015. In 2022 he established his own consultancy business, AY Consulting Engineer. AY Consulting Engineer offers design, review, construction monitoring and certification services for structures, commercial interiors, seismic architectural elements and mechanical equipment and plant. “I am able to provide structural design services for new builds alterations and extensions” says Arlen, “Plus effective seismic services including seismic design of suspended ceilings, bulkheads and partitions and seismic bracing of suspended services such as mechanical ducts, HVAC units and electrical cable trays.’’ Arlen also provides structural engineering solutions for architectural elements including louvres, façade panels, balustrades, stairs and canopies. He’s worked on a diverse range of projects from colleges to retail, office and warehousing, to new homes and alterations to existing homes. A recent example of seismic compliance and structural design would be the seismic restraint system upgrade at Edgecumbe College. The first stage of refurbishment and modernising the teaching blocks is complete and I’ve issued designs for proceeding stages.” “It’s important to ensure alterations to a structure won’t compromise its structural integrity or that the services in commercial buildings won’t come crashing through a suspended ceiling in a seismic event,” says Arlen. “So, if you’re in need of professional engineering services and certification for your next build project, get in touch.” AY Consulting Engineer is fast, responsive, and consistent and works with builders, architects and developers throughout New Zealand but has a high concentration of work throughout growth areas in Canterbury, Otago and Queenstown Lakes district. With Statistics NZ projections showing Canterbury’s population could increase to 783,000 people by 2048, accounting for 14 percent of New Zealand’s total population growth between 2018 and 2048, the need for more professional engineers will become acute. To this end, Arlen is committed to giving back to the community by taking part in industry groups and events which inspire and support New Zealand’s next generation of STEM professionals. Arlen is an ambassador for the Wonder Project – Engineering New Zealand’s initiative to get the next generation excited about a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. He also supervised and advised a final year research project for a University of Canterbury’s mechanical team and was a former member of the Young Engineer’s Canterbury committee. Arlen was also a mentor within the Engineering New Zealand mentoring programme. AY Consulting Engineer retains professional membership of several industry groups including SESOC (Structural Engineering Society New Zealand), Engineering New Zealand, HERA, and the Special Interest Group for Engineering General Practitioners.
