Solution Architect and Development Manager Marine Resource System (MaRS) Sept 2007 - Apr 2009

MaRS Logo

I was responsible for the Design and development of a multi-criteria, decision support, spatial modelling suite of tools. This is at the centre of a large, long term project at The Crown Estate to enable proactive management and use of the marine environment for the United Kingdom. The system has been designed to be extremely flexible and reduce the requirement for specialist GIS skills in many traditional areas, enabling highly complex spatial analysis to be performed by business decision makers.

The system creates a resultant suitability map from a set of input data. Types of input data ranges from

Wind turbine on white background
  • Cables and Pipelines
  • Current and future marine activities
  • Nature designations
  • Bathymetry
  • Animal population and habitat
  • Specialist information


This data can then be classified, weighted and processed to produce an overall analysis of the environment and suitability for a particular activity.

These include helping identify sites, and assess financial and other risks, for the  3rd Round of the UK offshore Windfarm developments. The round 3 leasing programme is planned to deliver up to 25 gigawatts of new offshore electricity generation. In future the same suite of tools will be used to perform suitability and risk analysis for wave and tidal, agregregates, carbon storage and other marine activities.

The system utilises ESRI ArcGIS server, spatial analyst and WebADF systems. There are a variety of GIS analyst tools, as well as a user facing web portal and KML (Google Earth) services. We have also developed a risk profile template management system utilising @risk.

Solution Architect and Development ManagerMap Based Assets and Corporate GIS (2005 - end 2008)

Corporate GIS Logo

Map Based Assets (MBA) and the Corporate GIS Project is a multi-million pound project to design and develop an in-house ESRI ArcMap and ArcServer based solution for capturing and noting all the spatial assets of The Crown Estate. The project scope includes the on-going capture of information over the next 2 years by a team of GIS technicians.

The system developed included a suite of Cartographic and GIS technichian tools for the ArcGIS Info and Editor desktop products. These are used by the in house cartographic teams to data-capture over 20 thousand active leases, their rights, encumbrances ,titles and many other information points. The architecture included storage of spatial data in an ArcSDE SQL Server 2005 database system, including OS Master Map. The system was designed to be extremely flexible allowing customisation of attributes, as well as connecting live to any 3rd party datasource without redevelopment.

To present the corporate information to The Crown Estates trusted partners and other business users a web based system, replicating many of the suit of dektop tools was developed on the WebADF platform.

Infrastructure Architect and Technical Project ManagerOffice Move Project (2005 - 2006)

This project involved moving The Crown Estates coporate head quarters from Carlton House Terrace to a new office block at New Burlington Place.

The requirement was to have the complete office (200 PCs and 60 Servers) move over a single weekend with zero noticeable downtime and all user systems un-effected. At the same time we decided to change our WAN and Internet supplier from BT to Cable and Wireless, changing from a frame network to an MPLS + ADSL WAN.

The solution we designed was to link the 2 offices with a leased line. This allowed us to migrate some key systems in a phased approach. However the co-ordination of IP address changes, router and switch configurations
