King Street Bridge carries the B5444 road over
a former railway cutting near the centre of Mold in Flintshire.
The single 9m span bridge was constructed with a slight skew and
comprises cast iron beams with transversely spanning brick jack
arches.
The bridge now spans an access road between a car park and retail
outlets, and in 1999 was assessed as being unable to sustain the
required 40 tonne assessment live loading.
Following a feasibility study to determine strengthening options,
the bridge was reinforced using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)
laminates during December 2000.
Tony Gee and Partners was commissioned by the client to undertake
all feasibility works and the design/contract documentation for
the strengthening works. Additionally, TGP was required by the
Client to act as Planning Supervisor for the project with
responsibility for drawing up the pre-tender Health and Safety
Plan, statutory notifications, review of the contractors Site
Health and Safety Plan and finally ensuring completion of the
Health and Safety File. |
