Bromley Heath Viaduct Refurbishment

completed

Leading bridge and engineering specialist Mabey has provided an innovative propping system to the South Gloucestershire Council to ensure essential work on the 50-year old southern Bromley Heath Viaduct could take place, despite extremely challenging project conditions. The viaduct, a 105-metre, five-span structure carries approximately 55,000 vehicles and 500 cyclists a day. Essential improvement works were necessary to manage structural deterioration. Mabey implemented its Mass-50 propping system to support the 16 bridge beams while the permanent refurbishment activities were being undertaken. Real-time monitoring system was used to ensure the displacement between two adjacent beams did not exceed the maximum tolerance permitted.
