Arthur Lancelot Bonner (Lance) Plunkett (18 March 1890 - 13 August 1937) was a civil engineer involved in the design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Between 1924 and 1926, on behalf of Sir Douglas Fox and Partners, Consulting Engineers, (later Freeman Fox & Partners, now merged with Hyder Consulting), Arthur took charge of the office in which the designs and erection schemes for Dorman Long & Co's bridge contracts were prepared. He prepared 3 preliminary designs for the bridge in that time. But by the time it was under construction, Plunkett was involved in civil projects in Nassau, Bahamas. Plunkett never actually visited the bridge. He was diagnosed with having throat cancer in August 1936. Despite undergoing a series of radium bomb (or teleradium unit) treatments, he died from it in London in 1937.<ref name="slideshare.net"/> |
