Cycleway Bridges

     

When Somerset CC wanted a bridge with impact to be installed on a prestige project                Working with our well-established partner Bedrock Construction we delivered https://bedrockce.com/

they naturally turned to Blackburn and Roberts.                                                                                   https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6823019751875342336/

 

Highway Standard for Off Highway use

    

 

A crisis looped when the dray could not safely access a Rugby Club in Cardiff                         We manufactured the deck during the low point in the Pandemic and installed it briskly

Cardiff CC led the project extracting the old bridge and providing new foundations                  The beer was ready to flow as the lockdown eased.

via their Term Contractor, Horizon Civil Engineering.                                                                       Another satisfied client.

A long-term framework for the expansion and sustainable management     Sustainable and robust Bridge materials are needed

of Scotland's forests and woodland access Bridges are needed.                   for the harvesting of timber.

          

Portable Bridges

    

In inaccessible locations getting bridges to site can be a serious barrier to progress.                It is still giving good service after almost a decade in service.

Some years ago we developed a lightweight bridge for United Utilities.

Bridge in a Day

   

Our celebrated Bridge in a Day service has been used for a number of year                                In this case in Norton we supplied and installed new pre cast concrete foundations,

by Doncaster MBC.                                                                                                                                  these were delivered on the same delivery vehicle as the bridge.

   

By getting in after harvest and out before the new crop can be drilled saves a fortune.           With the foundations in place the deck was moved across fields to site and lifted into place.

Bridleway Bridge on time and on budget

  

A missing link in Lincolnshire Bridleway Network has been recently filled                               The Maintenance Team from the power station provided new foundations and the oldest crane we have ever seen!

An EDF Power Station (which we cannot name) had a bridge missing over a small river on their estate. This led to massive problems for local equestrians.

 

                                                                                      

                                                 With careful management we extracted the maximum performance from the crane and the gap in the network has now been closed.

Wild and Beautiful Sites

   

We are fortunate to work in many wonderful places                                                                           When Natural Resources Wales installed one of our kits it we admired by Swansea PROW who promptly

The Gower is splendid and Oxwich Beach is a jewel.                                                                          bought another one for a similar site.
