Extending the service life of a critical bridge asset, Alder delivered comprehensive remediation and upgrade works to improve structural integrity and user safety. The project involved complex retrofitting of new elements into the existing structure, requiring close collaboration with designers and careful planning to address the challenges associated with aging infrastructure.
Works included concrete repairs to abutments, headstocks and piers, replacement of expansion joints and vehicle barriers, and widening of the northern pedestrian footpath. A bespoke cantilever scaffold system was designed and installed to enable safe access beneath the bridge, supporting the delivery of repairs, protective coatings and installation of new structural and safety elements.
The upgrade also incorporated new handrails, programmable LED lighting, and traffic management measures to minimise disruption during construction. All works were undertaken while maintaining pedestrian and vehicle access, demonstrating Alder’s capability to deliver complex civil remediation projects within constrained and operational environments.
