Kessock Gantry, Category 3 Check
The Kessock Bridge across the Beauly Firth in the Scottish Highlands is a 1,056m cable-stayed bridge with a 240m main span. The bridge was completed in 1982 and equipped with a moving access gantry suspended beneath the deck. The bridge operator, BEAR Scotland, identified that the access gantry was reaching the end of its safe working life and commissioned the design for a replacement gantry. Recent developments in gantry standards meant that the old design could not be replicated, necessitating a bespoke new structure.
Overhead Transmission Line Category III Check
Replacing the conductors between electricity pylons carries many risks, particularly when the transmission lines cross a road or railway. Traditionally, scaffolding structures are erected over the route to protect it in the event that one of the conductors breaks as the new cable is pulled in. This is costly and time consuming.
Tamar Bridge Hanger Bolt Replacement
The project involved the design verification of the high level and truss level access platforms for the Tamar Hanger replacement.
Forth Road Bridge Access Platforms
