He has been described as the "designer of numerous structures of many kinds."
World War I At some time between 1914 and 1918 he was employed to design reinforced concrete slipways for flying boats,
From 1919 Central Bandstand, Herne Bay In 1923–1924 he designed the first phase of this bandstand as one of the earliest
reinforced concrete structures of its kind in the UK. It was supported above the tidal beach on concrete pillars sheathed in cast iron, so that it was level with the promenade. Its cantilevered roof supported seaward-facing balconies with space for deckchairs, and sheltered both a lower deck and the stage. Metal, glazed screens at the east and west sides of the building crossed the promenade, and could be moved to protect the audience from wind, or retracted into the wings to allow promenaders to cross when no band was playing.
Cavendish House Between 1927 and 1928 he designed the alteration of Cavendish House, no. 32 Old Burlington Street,
Mayfair,
City of Westminster, London W1S, to create a new fifth storey for a picture gallery, and to rearrange space for shops on the ground floor.
Rue de Courseulles Sur Mer, Dartmouth This project was originally called the Coombe Improvements Scheme. In the spring of 1929, Dyson teamed up with fellow consulting engineer Gower B. R. Pimm to design a road over river mud at
Dartmouth. It was described by
The Times as "an engineering feat". It was a piece of road intended to connect Dartmouth's North Embankment of the
River Dart with the Dartmouth-Torquay road, thus easing traffic between
Plymouth and
Torquay. It was to become the Rue de Courseulles Sur Mer, part of the
A379, and the
estuary mud behind the road was later reclaimed as a leisure facility. A 30 ft carriageway and two 10 ft footpaths gave the road a 50 ft width. A
retaining wall protected it from the river, and
piles 20–45 ft long, each weighing four tons and driven in rows of three, prevented the road from sinking into mud, although these were not needed for about 200 ft at each end:
foundations were shallower so that hard core and a reinforced concrete containing wall were used there. Beneath the middle 200 yards, the rock foundation was at a great depth under the mud, so the reinforced concrete road was built on an open
viaduct over about 200 reinforced concrete piles and supported by reinforced concrete
trestles made of
columns,
beams and bracings. Although the new leisure area behind the road would be filled with hard core and soil, and similar filling would be placed below the viaduct, the road on its viaduct could be used early on, with no need to worry about initial
subsidence of the filling. The river-side of the
embankment was faced with a reinforced concrete
curtain wall, built by suspending
precast, properly cured, reinforced concrete L-shaped units from the top of the viaduct's trestle. The
prefabrication and use of a crane cut
tidal work to a minimum. ==Publications and papers==
