Green Bridge, UKFootbridges often
present a number of exciting challenges to the designer and during
construction. In many cases, the client’s preference for a visually
striking structure means that the structural designer has to think
‘outside the box’ in order to meet the differing requirements posed
by aesthetics, structural integrity, buildability, durability and
value for money. With our ability to draw on the Group's global and
multi-disciplinary resources we can tackle associated
challenges.
We can guide and assist a client with:
- feasibility studies, concept and detailed design
- contract documentation relating to all forms
of procurement
- specialist specification related to cable technology
- independent design appraisal
- specialist analysis for bridge erection engineering
- aerodynamic performance of deck and stay cables
- structure and cable dynamics
- project and construction management including supervision
services
- value engineering and risk management
