LUSTY BRIDGE
Lusty under Bridge required the installation of 12-metre-long GB39 tie bars, 420mm pattress plates, and additional structural tie bars, integrated through the existing bridge structure to improve its stability and strength. These components played a pivotal role in fortifying the bridge under demanding circumstances.
During the project, specification challenges arose. However, Piletec successfully addressed these issues by introducing innovative 13.5-metre ground anchors, coupled with value engineering solutions. This strategic approach ensured that the integration of tie bars, ground anchors, and pattress plates achieved the desired structural reinforcement within the original programme timeline.
This project exemplifies Piletec’s adaptability and technical expertise in overcoming project complexities, showcasing their ability to deliver reliable and effective structural stabilisation solutions.
