  P.L. PratleyP.L. Pratley

Philip Louis Pratley came to Canada in 1906 upon completion of his studies in Britain. His first position was with the Dominion Bridge Company on the Quebec Bridge. Later, he was a partner for twenty years with the firm, Montsarrat and Pratley, which designed such well known bridges as the Pont Jacques Cartier and the Lions Gate Bridge. After Montserrat’s death, Pratley continued the practice and during this period was responsible for the design of the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge and others equally notable. In addition to his successful practice, Pratley was a prolific author and active in the Engineering Institute of Canada. The P.L. Pratley Medal was established in 1987 by the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering and is awarded annually for the best paper on bridge engineering.
