Multi-disciplined bridge renovation projects in the UK

Many bridge renovation projects in the UK have been prompted by the Highways Agency bridge assessment programme and have arisen from increased demand for the renovation and strengthening of reinforced concrete bridges from local authorities. National specialist main contractor, Concrete Repairs Limited (CRL), has been involved in many of these projects and this article aims to give an indication of the multi-disciplined nature of such work. It focuses on three large UK concrete bridges, located over major rivers and marine environments, and refers to the scope of works, specialities, methods and third party compliance requirements.
