Project Description:

64 metre x 7 metres (fanning out to 15 m) at one end, weathering grade, complicated plate girder style fabrication, built onto SPMT supports and “launched” across the railway lines.

Project Description:

53 m x 4.5 m wide x 5.0m high Warren Span Equestrian bridge, complete with Equestrian Tiles, spanning across the Widened A13 in Horndon, Essex.

Project Description:

6 no. plate girder beams fabricated at Britons yard in Hucknall and treated to 1900 series HE specification Type II. Beams were delivered to site in pairs 2 weeks prior to installation to allow the Main Contractor to for permanent formwork and Para-slim falsework at low level; thus, reducing safety critical work at height. Britons in-house installation crew installed the bridge components over 1 no weekend closure using a 750-tonne mobile crane.

Project Description:

Britons were called in early during the tendering phase for this project. The illustrative design proposed a new concrete arch bridge, comprising of in situ and precast reinforced concrete arches and deck beams supporting reinforced concrete ladder deck; dependent upon design some post-tensioning was expected. This posed significant buildability issues which required extensive temporary works. Britons were tasked with constructing the same structure, off site, entirely out of steel. Working closely with the clients designer and calling upon Britons vast wealth of knowledge in complex plate fabrication, the bridge you see here was successfully developed and built. The installation methodology employed 2 no 500 tonne cranes working simultaneously to land the pinned arches at their meeting point in the centre of the river.

Project Description:

Britons were contracted on this scheme to fabricate and install 5 no. separate weathering grade steel plate girder road bridges totaling 1200 tonnes. “Thorne Farm”, “Grove Farm”, “Sundon Road”, “M1 junction 11 overbridge” and the largest weighing 630 tonnes at “Luton Road”. Luton Road was installed using a 1000t crane which can be seen in the construction phase photos and time lapse video rigging during the day for night time lifts and switching from one side of the motorway to the other to service the planned lifting sequence. As with all our contracts this was orchestrated by our in house Construction Managers, Appointed Persons & Installation crews.

Project Description:

148 metre overall length, composite steel and timber spiraled cycle way. The strength of the structure stems from the fabricated trapezoidal box section running continuously along one side of the main deck, switching at the centre point, with a steel cantilever frame forming the deck support system. Modular construction techniques were employed to build complete sections off site aiding a swift, if complex, installation process. The integrated lighting design was developed and designed by Britons and utilizing its close-knit supply chain. Timber deck boards and “lean” boards add to the overall Architectural status of this stunning structure.
