Steel Bridges
Steel is widely used around the world for the construction of bridges from the very large to the very small. It is a versatile and effective material that provides efficient and sustainable solutions. Steel represents the economic option, dominating the market for a broad range of bridge types, and landmark steel bridges have stimulated the regeneration of many former industrial, dock and canalside areas.
A1M Upgrade
An innovative approach is being used to construct and erect bridges across the A1 between Peterborough and Blyth, where 6 roundabouts are being replaced with two-level junctions to ease congestions and delays.
A34 Chieveley
Bird Lane South Overbridge is one of five weathering steel composite highway bridges on the A34 Chieveley / M4 Junction 13 improvement project. The scheme will reduce congestion at this major N/S, E/W interchange, and was carried out under a design and build project.
Semington Brook Bridge
This bridge carries a single carriageway road over a brook as part of the bypass of the village of Semington. The key constraints of this design and build contract were buildability, minimum obstruction to the flood plain, minimum whole life cost, and meeting the visual requirements of the local planning authorities (ie a haunched elevation).
A2/M2 Taddington
This £180 million scheme has widened the existing M2 motorway from dual 2 to dual 4 lanes west of junction 3 and to dual 3 lanes east of junction 3. The design and build project was undertaken by main contractor Costain Skanska Mowlem (CSM) Joint Venture and completed in 2003.
Swansea Sail Bridge
The requirement for units in the redevelopment to be pre-let at an early date, with necessary infrastructure visibly in place, resulted in an unusually compressed programme - from design inception through to constructed completion in less than 15 months.
Whittle Arch and Glass Bridge
The Phoenix Initiative is Coventry City Council’s most extensive city centre regeneration project to date. The £20M scheme has created an attractive journey from the Cathedral Quarter down to the Museum of British Road Transport, tracing the city's thousand year history along the way.
Gateshead Millenium Bridge
The Wilkinson Eyre Architects and Gifford design is the winning entry to a 1997 competition for a major new crossing over the River Tyne. The £22m project links the newly developed Newcastle Quayside with the ambitious plans for redevelopment of East Gateshead.
Whatman's Field Bridge
In May 1998 a team of Architects and Engineers were appointed to assist in the concept and design for a Millennium Project at Maidstone River Park.
Newark Dyke Rail Bridge
The Newark Dyke rail bridge reconstruction demanded a high profile solution at a strategic river crossing on the East Coast Main Line. Railtrack demanded an aesthetically pleasing solution whilst specifying new high speed design criteria with demanding safety requirements so as not to disturb the live railway.
Canary Wharf Footbridge
In 1994 London Docklands Development Corporation held a design competition for a pedestrian bridge to link the new Canary Wharf commercial towers development with the refurbished Victorian warehouses of West India Quay. It was a condition of the competition that no loads be imposed on the waterfront at the two ends.
Merchant Bridge
Castlefield was at the hub of canal and rail communications supplying raw materials such as coal to help fuel Manchester’s Industrial 'Revolution’ of the 18th and 19th centuries. Manchester City Council designated Castlefield a conservation area in 1979 and the area became Britain’s first urban heritage park in 1982.
Tees Barrage Bridge
The Tees Barrage, designed to retain a constant water level and provide vehicular access from the A66 and A19, is a catalyst for the regeneration of Teesdale, 100ha of derelict land along the River Tees close to Stockton town centre.
Jackfield Bridge
Jackfield Bridge, located 1 km downstream of the Iron Bridge, is at the centre of the Severn Gorge World Heritage Site. It replaces the reinforced concrete Free Bridge, built by public subscription in 1909, that had suffered from decayed and spalling concrete and had been condemned following routine assessment in 1986.
