Project Snapshot
Project type: Steel bridge within an industrial facility
Location: United Kingdom
Client type: Industrial Client
Structural system: Steel girder bridge
Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000
Scope of work: Structural design of steel bridge, Connection design, Engineering calculations and drawings
The Challenge
- The bridge was required to be installed within a live manufacturing environment.
- Maintaining operational continuity during construction was critical.
- On-site construction time had to be minimized to avoid disruption to plant operations.
- The structure needed to meet strict safety, load, and serviceability requirements.
Our Engineering Approach
- We developed a prefabricated steel bridge solution, enabling off-site fabrication.
- Structural design focused on strength, serviceability, and efficient load transfer.
- Connection details were optimized to allow rapid installation with minimal on-site work.
- Construction sequencing considerations were embedded into the design from the outset.
- All engineering was delivered in accordance with Eurocodes and UK National Annex requirements.
Tools and Deliverables
- Structural engineering calculations for the steel bridge.
- Detailed structural drawings supporting prefabrication and installation.
- Connection design information aligned with site installation constraints.
Results & Value Delivered
- Bridge installed with minimal downtime to manufacturing operations.
- Reduced on-site construction risk through prefabrication.
- Delivered a safe, compliant, and durable structural solution.
- Supported smooth integration into the existing facility.
Value to the Client
- Delivered operations-sensitive structural engineering.
- Reduced business disruption during construction.
- Provided a practical, buildable solution tailored to site constraints.
- Demonstrated strong experience in UK industrial infrastructure projects.
