About us
Meton was founded in 2018 by a team of engineering experts with a broad and technically diverse mentality. The team is headquartered in London, UK with outsourcing facilities in Thessaloniki, Greece and a sound network and a can-do attitude. We are privately owned and are proud to offer an independent view of risk – our expert people ask the difficult questions so that our clients get exactly the solutions they need.
At the heart of our success in assessing engineering design more accurately and performing structural analyses and BIM modelling services is the quality of our source data and our proven experience. Meton is originally comprised by a team of ex-employees of Arup, Atkins and Mott MacDonald and works in close collaboration with engineers of different disciplines. This culture provides uniquely detailed and informative project outputs as well as accurate engineering tasks that can be delivered in a format that suits the client.
As a highly specialised team we are able to help with both rapid assessments and in-depth research that supports decision-making around our clients’ appetite. Our flexible, robust capabilities mean we can develop and customise assignments relatively quickly, helping our clients be far more agile and responsive. We help to improve our clients’ confidence in their engineering preferences.
As a company we are committed to continually developing and improving our methods and technologies. To support this, we undertake ongoing research and development, and maintain close links with the academia and regulatory policymakers.
our name
Our name reflects our heritage.
Meton of Athens was a Greek engineer, geometer and scientist who lived in Athens in the 5th century BC. He was the one who invented the so-called Metonic cycle which is the root of the famous Antikythera mechanism. He also designed and constructed the aqueduct of Colonus, the calendar of Athens and he made important discoveries on the equinoxes and the solstices. His calculations and practices helped to develop the engineering sector at the centuries that followed.
Our name thus provides a strong association with innovation and the engineering market, which remain at the core of our operations.
Managing team
Alkis
CEng MICE MSc MEng Eur-Ing
Structural Design Lead
Alkis is a Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Civil Engineers (CEng MICE) and structural designer with a notable portfolio of international projects. He is expertised in concrete, steel and timber structures and infrastructure. During his career, he has led the completion and delivery of several schemes in multiple design stages, some with extraordinary shapes and materials. He has considerable experience in Buildings and Infrastructure markets for challenging projects, including engineering and consulting services for a variety of clients (such as underwriters, brokers, national government representatives, engineering firms etc.). He has been involved with novel project management schemes and niche technical concepts and has led the development of several structural and seismic models for areas of medium, high and very-high seismicity. He focuses not only on the understanding of the science behind the scenes but on the communication of this with several audiences and key stakeholders.
