ABOUT ILIAS MANOLAKIS
Chartered Geotechnical Engineer (CEng, MICE) with 6+ years of experience delivering infrastructure and energy projects across the UK. Currently working at DNV Services UK Ltd, specialising in Ground Movement Assessments (GMA) and Soil–Pipeline Interaction Analyses (SPIA) for onshore oil and gas pipelines and other buried utilities. My work focuses on geotechnical risk evaluation, advanced numerical modelling (PLAXIS 2D/3D), and providing technically robust, practical solutions for buried assets.On my previous roles, I have contributed to the detailed design and construction support of HS2 Phase One earthworks and structures. My experience spans interpretation of ground investigation data, development of ground models, derivation of characteristic parameters, design of foundations and ground improvement solutions, and production of GIRs and GDRs in accordance with Eurocodes and British Standards.I hold an MSc in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Birmingham and an MEng in Civil Engineering from the Democritus University of Thrace. I am a Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Civil Engineers.My core expertise includes- Ground Movement Assessment (GMA)- Soil–Pipeline Interaction Analysis (SPIA)- Geotechnical design for earthworks and foundations- Numerical modelling (PLAXIS 2D/3D, Ple4Win, SurfLoad)- Ground investigation interpretation & reporting (GIR/GDR)- Construction phase technical support and site inspections- Project management, budgeting, and client communicationI am passionate about delivering safe, technically sound, and commercially aware geotechnical solutions, particularly within the energy and major infrastructure sectors.
