The challenge
This high profile and complex project required significant temporary works support in its delivery over the 3.5 year planned build.
Our temporary works expertise was required to deliver a bespoke propping solution for the landside sections, which create the approach to the bridge.
The project also required a structural monitoring solution that can ensure critical insight into movement and load, whilst the build of the permanent concrete piers were taking place.
Our solution
We worked in partnership with the client and main contractor to understand the challenges at an early stage of the project. This ensured we could advise the best value engineered design to deliver a bespoke propping system.
This system supported the landside sections, which create the approach to the bridge. Its role was critical in supporting the bridge loads onto the permanent concrete piers, by transferring the load of the bridge.
To ensure key insight on movement and load was available 24/7, we set up our structural monitoring. This information fed back to Insite – our monitoring web portal. Bespoke alerts and data was then delivered in real time, ensuring that all stakeholders had the insight they needed.
