Runcorn Bridge

A viable and cost-effective pre-tender solution.

SES’ North West branch has secured a number of bridge repair projects in Runcorn as part of the area’s road network restructuring. 

The team at SES’ branch in the North West of England presented a viable and cost-effective solution at tender stage to R. Betts Construction, a reinforced concrete and precast installation specialist company.  As a result of our pre-construction concept, SES was contracted to design, supply and build various scaffold schemes. 

Innovative, industry leading scaffolding system

These schemes required a significant amount of scaffold combining the innovative and industry leading Plettac Metrix system, a tube and fitting system, and complemented with aluminium beams.

The SES solution was to design and build a multi-purpose, 100m long free-standing buttress scaffold to a height of 14m to access the bridge. This structure included staircase access and a high level outbound cantilever section.  As part of the design solution, SES erected a fully encapsulated scaffold on the viaduct above for the hydro demolition works.  The scaffold will later be adapted to form a new string course and parapet.

A complex scheme, seamlessly delivered

While this was a complex scheme, notwithstanding the additional Covid-19 precautions, it was executed seamlessly.  SES’ scaffolders embraced the situation a professional manner in order to meet the client’s program.  Jason Milner from SES North West summed up the project well: “It’s always rewarding to see your original concept being brought to fruition on site.”
