Bryan Pidwerbesky, son of Lorraine Olinyk, who has lived in Christchurch, New Zealand since 1986 with his wife Helen and son Nikolai, has been recognized as a distinguished fellow for his contribution in advancing the science and lifetime performance of pavements and surfacing materials.
Engineering New Zealand Fellowship recognizes the most highly experienced professionals who have achieved outstanding results. Bryan’s depth of experience and professional competency has seen him recognized as New Zealand’s go-to person for everything to do with pavements, and he has led and authorized many technical papers.
His knowledge and ability have enabled considerable advances in the construction and performance of thin flexible pavements that underpin New Zealand’s transport network.
