Dr Tony Parry - Associate, AtkinsRealis

Tony has 40 years’ research and consultancy experience, the last 30 in road pavement engineering. He worked as a Research Assistant while completing his PhD and then entered research consultancy at TRL Ltd where he led work leading to UK road surface skidding resistance standards, and sustainability assessment of pavement engineering. In 2005, he joined the Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre at the University of Nottingham where his research included novel skid resistance and road safety assessment methods and developing carbon footprint methodologies for roads, alongside teaching sustainable construction and highway design. He has worked at AtkinsRéalis since 2022 in the Digital Asset Management: Pavements team, on net zero and climate resilience projects for National Highways, Transport Scotland and local highway authorities.
