Malcolm Stapleton

Malcolm is at the top of his field in environmental and geotechnical engineering at Babbage. His work focuses on making projects work with the sites they are to be built on, and inevitably, given the industrial past of New Zealand cities, especially Auckland, dealing with the environmental damage left by previous generations of occupants.

Malcolm heads the Babbage geo-environmental team, which includes geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists, their geotechnical laboratory, the environmental group, the Bioresearches group, and a team working to address local body and government planning controls. His work in the field has seen him made a Fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand.

Malcolm earned his degree at the University of Canterbury in 1978 and he worked for Babbage from 1981-89 before a four-year spell in England. He returned to Babbage in 1993.
