Our Team
Mal Wilson Director
The Advanced Structural Designs (ASD) team is a complimentary blend of both young and experienced professionals, giving our clients a fresh and creative service with a strong foundation of practical knowledge and experience.
Before starting his own consulting firm, Advanced Structural Designs in 2001 Mal work as a Design Engineer, Associate, Structural Engineer and Structural Manager for several well respected companies throughout Australia, working on both national and international projects. Mal is an expert in prestressed concrete, tilt-up concrete construction, large span timber trusses, tension structures, formwork and scaffolding, forensic investigations and computer aided design and is actively engaged in the academic and wider professional Engineering community. He was invited to speak at the Institution of Engineers Australia on the pitfalls of designing and constructing formwork for major building works in August 2012 and presented a series of lectures at the University of Canberra covering the use of timber concrete and steel outlining the applications and limitations of each material and the relative costs to the environment. Mal has a passion for doing what he does once and getting it dead right. All the forensic work he does serves as a constant reminder of the direr consequences of not being up to the task on any given day. Fortunately ASD has had a dream run but he put that down to attention to detail and a lifetime of lessons learned and remembered.
