Technical Advisor Consultant Diego Tripodi joins Steer Davies Gleave

Steer Davies Gleave is delighted to welcome Diego Tripodi, who joins our London office as an Associate.

Diego joins us from Infrata Ltd where, as a Senior Lenders’ Technical Advisor, he carried out technical due diligence for international transport infrastructure PPP projects and M&A transactions in the road, light rail transit, airport and lock sectors. He is a Chartered Civil Engineer with the Institution of Civil Engineers and holds a triple-accredited MBA in Finance.

He brings with him extensive international experience as an infrastructure advisor. His recent projects include the CAD 2.15 billion New St. Lawrence Bridge — Champlain Bridge Replacement in Canada, where he acted as the project manager and technical contributor for the technical due diligence up to Financial Close on behalf of Lenders. He was also involved in the construction monitoring of the EUR 1 billion A1-A6 motorway in The Netherlands.

Diego also brings with him a strong track record in the design and project management of cable-stayed bridges, viaducts, airport terminals and offshore wind farm foundations during his time with Arup. There, he was responsible for the independent design check of the second Nile Bridge at Jinja, an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 290 metres, and for the construction stage analysis of the Forth Replacement Crossing, a three-tower cable-stayed bridge with two main spans of 650 metres each.

At Steer Davies Gleave, Diego will be working with Tim McQue, Head of Technical Due Diligence, helping build the company’s technical due diligence capability and delivering our services in both the primary and secondary markets.

Charles Russell, Director in Infrastructure said: "We are pleased to welcome Diego to Steer Davies Gleave. Technical due diligence has become an important area of work for us, and the strengthening of Tim McQue’s team with the appointment of Diego is a major step in allowing us to offer our full capability both in the UK and through our international offer and add technical support to our traditional focus of traffic and revenue.”
