If you look closely (Inside the red ring) you can see one of our temporary bridges. Although it looks tiny, size DOES NOT matter! However, our bridge is a critical and key piece of infrastructure on this scheme that allows the construction of the huge 163m long Highfurlong Brook Viaduct on HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd. The temporary bridge in question in actually an 18m x 18m span, however this is dwarfed in comparison to the viaduct. If you have any construction projects in the pipeline, please do get in touch - we are a collaborative company that wants to find the best solution for your scheme. We build offsite where we can to reduce site impact and truly are the specialists in this industry. We can offer everything from your 'traditional' panel bridges to our market leading JSB system. What we do is incredible - we allow for infrastructure projects that changes the landscape of the UK. Ok, when the projects are competed, we do not have anything onsite, however, we know, that with our 'little' bridge, we have played a small part in the future of our country.

UK ICE joins new partnership to help prevent bridge collapses The initiative encourages engineers and other professionals in the sector to confidentially report near misses and close calls. Bridge designers, constructors and maintainers are urged to support a new ICE-backed partnership aimed at preventing future bridge collapses around the world. The ICE has joined forces with the UK Bridges Board (UKBB), the Bridge Owners Forum (BOF) and the Infrastructure Client Group to highlight the importance of reporting near misses and close calls to CROSS-UK. CROSS-UK, which stands for Collaborative Reporting for Safer Structures UK, is a voluntary occurrence safety reporting scheme jointly run by the ICE and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE). Preventing future collapses Bridge collapses around the world happen with alarming regularity. Indeed, in the last month, the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, USA hit the news worldwide. This was far from an isolated incident. Since 2000, there have been 66 reported fatal collapses claiming over 1,200 lives. Preventing these collapses is crucial for our profession. A key way in which that can be achieved is through sharing lessons from near misses and close calls – more formally known as precursor events. If these precursors can be recognised, they are vitally important to forecasting and preventing more serious incidents in the future.

👷♂️ Giving Bridges a Second Chance: The Art of Rehabilitation Even with routine maintenance, some bridges need a bit more attention to stay in top shape. Here’s a look at how repairs and rehabilitation are managed: 🚧 Assessment: Inspectors gauge the damage and decide on the necessary repairs. 🚧 Repair Planning: The best materials and methods are selected to restore and fortify the bridge. 🚧 Quality Control: Repairs are meticulously tested and monitored to meet safety and design standards. Projects like the Interstate Bridge Replacement and the Adams Creek Bridge Rehabilitation showcase a commitment to maintaining top-notch infrastructure. To learn about how the entire lifecycle of a bridge is managed, from its design to its in-service phase, check out our blog - https://lnkd.in/g2gYDn3C It’s a great read to understand how bridges are kept safe and reliable for years to come. #BridgeRehabilitation #InfrastructureCare #BridgeMaintenance #EngineeringExcellence #SafeBridges #LifecycleOfABridge

ꙮ What is Right of Way? ⫸ Right of Way (ROW) or Land width is the width of land acquired for the road along it's alignment. It should be adequate to accommodate all the cross-sectional elements of the highway and may reasonably provide for future development. #CivilEngineering #RoadsandHighways #Construction #TransportationEngineering

"Fantastic , fascinating use of 4D technology for infrastructure development! It's incredible to see how Align JV is leveraging innovative approaches like this for the Colne Valley Viaduct project. Utilizing 4D for technical appraisals and communication of program logistics and construction sequences demonstrates a forward-thinking approach that sets the standard for efficiency and precision in the industry. Looking forward to seeing more updates on this impressive endeavor!"
⏩ 4D for infrastructure Here's another model from our archives, relating to the construction of the Colne Valley Viaduct that Align JV is delivering as part of HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd Phase One. 4D was used for a series of technical appraisals and to communicate programme, logistics, and construction sequences. This was in the early stages of the project, prior to any start on site. #planning #modelling #infrastructure For more info, please comment or DM me 👍
