-
Docklands Light Railway
The Docklands Light Railway links Canning Town to London City Airport, a total distance of 4.5km.
The pads beneath the rails required grouting to distribute the load and ensure the rail was supported to the correct line and level. Approximately 22000 pads required grouting.
-
City of Manchester stadium
Strengthening was required to the pre-cast concrete terrace beams where flexural capacity of the terrace beams required increasing due to casting problems with the existing steel reinforcing bar positions.
Access was restricted due to the construction of the new stadium and the weight of the new terrace already in place. -
Delarch House, Webber Row, Southwark
Supporting beams across the landing level on the stairwell at Delarch House, needed repairing and strengthening.
Once repaired the corner of the beams were rounded off to enable 100% bond of the carbon fibre.
-
Cathedral Plaza, Worcester
Donaldsons surveyors were called in to assess and report on the cause of the deterioration of the concrete at Cathedral Plaza car park and to determine the extent and method of repairs required.
The report suggested that the reinforcement had corroded due to low cover and carbonation resulting in the subsequent spalling of concrete. -
Barnes Bridge Strengthened by En-Force
The first major Highways Agency carbon fibre project.
-
Walton New Bridge, Warrington
Walton New Bridge, Warrington was built in 1938 to carry the A56 over the Bridgewater canal.
Both the abutments and wingwalls needed repairs due to delamination of the concrete and the spalling of the concrete cover.
The reason for the spalling was the lack of cover to reinforcement and the high permeability of the existing concrete. These factors resulted in both carbonation and chloride attack of the reinforcement. -
Tower Bridge
New lease of life for Tower Bridge with modern carbon fibre materials.
-
Taney Bridge
The Taney Road junction on the south side of Dublin is one of the busiest intersections in the city.
A 185m long cable stayed bridge was constructed by the segmental launch method to carry the new LUAS Light Rail Transit Line across this junction. -
M62 Ashfield Bridge, Milnrow - J21
Strengthening was required to the concrete deck curved beams where flexural capacity of the bridge deck beams required increasing to bring it up to
current European standards.
Access was restricted to weekend possessions of the slip road to junction 21 and lane closures along this busy east-west motorway corridor.

Swansea STW digester tank strengthening
Expansion cracks appeared in the circular concrete tank due to pressure build up in the enclosed digester tank.
Strengthening was required to restore the structural integrity of the tank walls and to reinforce the tank against any future pressure formation in the tank. -
Supporting the Eye
A feat of engineering unlike any other, undertaken for the Queens Jubilee celebrations, The London Eye continues to attract a constant stream of visitors. The vast majority, however, do not realise that the weight of the whole structure is taken on Weber high performance grouts.
