Following a routine inspection, a significant
defect was found relating to the fixed bearing on Commercial Street
Bridge. It was advised that this should be rectified by Q2 of 2024
to ensure the bridge remains safe.
SYMCA appointed Balfour Beatty through the SCAPE framework under a
design and build contract, to undertake the repair. They
subsequently appointed Mott MacDonald to undertake the design as a
subcontractor.
Mott MacDonald considered a range of design options for the
remedial work, each with a range of benefits, risks and costs
associated and presented these to SYMCA who endorsed a preferred
option to strengthen the bridge diaphragm with the additional of
steel plates bolted through, with remedial concrete repairs where
required.
Balfour Beatty priced the works in accordance with the SCAPE
Framework and approval was requested to appoint Balfour Beatty to
progress to implementation of the preferred scheme at a cost of
circa £375,000
