Steel Bridge Design >Industrial> UK

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

  1. The bridge was required to be installed within a live manufacturing environment.
  2. Maintaining operational continuity during construction was critical.
  3. On-site construction time had to be minimized to avoid disruption to plant operations.
  4. The structure needed to meet strict safety, load, and serviceability requirements.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed a prefabricated steel bridge solution, enabling off-site fabrication.
  2. Structural design focused on strength, serviceability, and efficient load transfer.
  3. Connection details were optimized to allow rapid installation with minimal on-site work.
  4. Construction sequencing considerations were embedded into the design from the outset.
  5. All engineering was delivered in accordance with Eurocodes and UK National Annex requirements.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural engineering calculations for the steel bridge.
  2. Detailed structural drawings supporting prefabrication and installation.
  3. Connection design information aligned with site installation constraints.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Bridge installed with minimal downtime to manufacturing operations.
  2. Reduced on-site construction risk through prefabrication.
  3. Delivered a safe, compliant, and durable structural solution.
  4. Supported smooth integration into the existing facility.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered operations-sensitive structural engineering.
  2. Reduced business disruption during construction.
  3. Provided a practical, buildable solution tailored to site constraints.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in UK industrial infrastructure projects.
