Custom-made cleats realised the unique shape of the piers.

Nene Bridge
Peterborough, United Kingdom

In order to replace the bearings, all piers had to be restructured to create a larger surface area that would support the jacking device. As the bridge is a major traffic route that carries the A1139 Frank Perkins Parkway over the River Nene, construction work was carried out alongside live traffic flowing above.

The Project

  

Project Information

I involved PERI very early in the planning of this scheme. PERI offered a complete design service and from their previous experience proposed the CNC cleat boxes to form the complex shapes required. PERI have provided technical representation at meetings and have been very supportive in getting this scheme to fruition. The ability to take the scheme designer’s 3D models and incorporate this into the formwork design has been invaluable in delivering the piers to the shape and function required. The drawings and instructions provided by PERI have made construction by the team on site swift and to a high standard.
