We carried out work in full package – supplying Concrete and Reinforcing Bar. We partnered with PERI Ltd, and special formwork solutions were developed to meet the demands of the structure together with the limited road access to construction work areas.
The specialised solution was found within the PERI VARIOKIT product range specifically in the VK-P platform system. VK-P enabled the cantilevered concrete parapet, slabs and up-stands to be supported from the main bridge superstructure and was pre-fabricated before placing on site.
Additional challenges were presented by the structure itself including a cross-fall and longitudinal curvature along the road route. PERI detailed, designed and tailored the VK-P platforms so that they could work within the constraints of the roadway. This well-travelled road had to remain open at all times as a single carriageway for everyday traffic and only minimal road-closures were permitted during some night time periods.
