  George Buchanan (engineer)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Sir George Buchanan (engineer) was a British civil engineer particularly associated with harbour works in Burma, Iraq and Bombay, during the early years of the 20th century.
Buchanan first came to prominence in 1905 when he collaborated with Patrick Meik on designs for the Rangoon river training works in Burma; Meik was consulting engineer and Buchanan was chief engineer.
His ignominious departure from UK engineering circles meant that 'Buchanan' had to be deleted from the company name in 1923 and the firm became CS Meik and Halcrow (William Halcrow had been a partner in the firm from the previous year).

The project reclaimed some 1.2 km² of land behind a wall of rubble 3 km long and 70 m wide.
