Staged demolition of pedestrian and vehicle bridges over water, with concurrent (and adjacent) construction of new four lane bridge
Extensive traffic management planning and coordination during demolition stages
Key Challenges
Strict enviro controls and monitoring to protect waterway underneath works – works area ‘wrapped’ in geofabric with pontoon located immediately below works area
Stage 2 programme involved heavily restricted works footprint, resulting in deployment of smaller crane and use of manual demolition methodologies such as engineered saw cuts – increasing total number of lifts but reducing impact on public use of bridge
