Birth Date 1891-02-10 Birthplace Paris Death Date 1960-07-21 Training Institution École Polytechnique École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées Occupation Civil Engineer Biographical Text André Coyne was born on February 10, 1891, in Paris. He was a French engineer of roads, bridges and, above all, dams, having designed about 70 dams in 14 countries. Born from a music-related family, he studied at Janson-de-Sailly High School, where he showed great skill in drawing and practicing the violin. In 1911 he joined the École Polytechnique. However, in October 1913, he joined the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées, a French civil engineering public body, continuing his studies at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. In 1914 Coyne was finally an engineer. André Coyne was appointed second lieutenant in the 5th Régiment du Genie. It was in this unit that he stayed at the beginning of World War I, in August 1914. In May 1917, at his request, he was assigned as a pilot on the eastern front, in the aviation detachment of the French Army of the East, more specifically in the Danube Army. Returned from the war, the engineer dedicated himself to the design of several infrastructures, namely bridges and dams. In 1928 he decided to leave the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées and join the power company Energie Electrique de la Haute Dordogne to become the engineer in charge of the Marèges dam construction project. This dam, in Liginiac, built between 1929 and 1935, allowed Coyne to apply the arch dam technique with the use of vaults, and debut it in France, designing the largest double-curvature vault dam of the time and introducing also the ski jumping spillway. Coyne also invented acoustic monitoring procedures and the structure anchoring technique using pretensioned steel ties. He retired from civil service in 1947 to establish an engineering consulting firm. Thus, he founded his own office of consultants and engineering studies with Jean Bellier, ACJB, a name formed with the initials of both and still active. The company developed specific measuring tools and innovative calculation and modeling techniques and is the author of the study of over 200 dams worldwide. His own are the dams of Eagle, Malpasset, Migouélou, Roselend, Salamonde, Kariba, Santa Luzia, New Sale, Bode Castle, Saint-Etienne-Cantalès, Grandval, L'Aigle, Bort-les-Orgues and Chastaing and the Montjean and Albert Louppe bridges, the construction of which he supervised in 1920. He left other renowned works such as the Port of Brest in France. He was recognized as the undisputed expert in the field and was invited to lecture on large dams at the École des Ponts et Chaussées. He received national recognition in 1935 when he was appointed head of the Department of Large Dam Engineering and international recognition in 1945 when he became chairman of the International Committee of Large Dams, a post he held until 1952. In addition, in 1953 he was awarded the Grand Prix d'Architecture for his work designing and building dams. André Coyne died on July 21, 1960, aged 69, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, after being deeply affected by the Malpasset dam rupture on December 2, 1959.

Birth Date 1919-09-15 Birthplace Sintra Death Date 1978-10-29 Training Institution Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) Occupation Civil Engineer Biographical Text Francisco Xavier Lobo de Almeida de Mello e Castro was born on September 15, 1919, in Sintra. He was the son of Pedro Maria Rafael Lobo de Almeida de Mello e Castro and Laura Davidson de Guimarães Serôdio. He married Maria Cecília Pinto da Fonseca de Sousa Rego, with whom he had six children, including Pedro Maria Rego de Mello and Castro. He was a remarkable Portuguese civil engineer, present in various fields of the construction sector in Portugal during the twentieth century. He graduated in civil engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon. One of the construction works that most marked his career as an engineer was the Cristo Rei statue, which is over 100 meters high and still is one of the tallest structures in the country. He signed the project with the architect António Lino da Silva and the construction work, which began in 1950, was inaugurated in 1959. Francisco Mello e Castro made the project of the Cristo Rei monument free of charge, as well as the accompaniment of the work for about 10 years, simply for devotion to the project. He was president of the Board of Directors of the Lisbon Metro from September 1954 to August 1972. He is considered the father of the Metro. As president, on July 11, 1955, the base contracts were signed for the installation of the 1st tier of the subway network, commencing the construction work. On December 29, 1959, at the Restauradores station, he presided over the official inauguration of the first stage of the subway network’s first phase, comprising 11 stations and forming a “Y” line with the two branches, Entre Campos to Rotunda and Sete Rios to the Rotunda, then forming a common section of the Rotunda to the Restauradores. The exploration was carried out with trains of two carriages, both motorized. In 1963, the section of the Restauradores to Rossio went into operation. The studies carried out during his presidency were based on the Lisbon Urbanization Master Plan and the Urban and Suburban Transport Coordination Plan. He accumulated more important positions in Portugal. In the professional field, like his position in the Lisbon Metro, he was managing director of the Portuguese Railways Company, was chairman of the General Council of Portuguese Air Transport and was also a member of the Board of Directors of the General Administration of the Porto de Lisboa. At the political level, he was director of the Technical Office of Civil Aerodromes and was a member of the Porto da Beira Study Commission. Attached to the government, he was a proxy for the Corporate Chamber by appointment of Salazar. In the 5th Legislature, he represented the railway companies. In the 6th Legislature he represented the air transport companies. Finally, in the 8th and 9th Legislatures he was designated by the Corporate Council. During these legislatures he devoted much of his time to the 1968-1973 Development Plan, a project that he was responsible for all through the 1960s. Francisco Mello e Castro died on October 29, 1978, in Lisbon, at the age of 67. Bibliography CASTILHO, J. (2010).
