Naeem Hussain had a fundamental role in the conceptual design of the Queensferry Crossing,
significantly influencing its architectural form, functionality and engineering design.
His input within a co-located team in Transport Scotland’s office in Glasgow ensured that all
aspects of the 2.7km three tower cable stayed bridge were fully considered.
Engineering, costs, risks, programme implications, procurement and the practicalities of
construction, maintenance and operation were fully considered by Naeem, all contributing to
what has become Scotland’s and indeed the world’s latest renowned iconic structure.
It was a great experience and a pleasure working alongside Naeem – a true great of the big
bridge design and construction community!
