FRP chosen for road bridge at hard-to-access Reading site - Bridge Design & Engineering
The Environment Agency (EA) has awarded ECS Engineering Services a project for the design, construction and installation of a new fibre-reinforced polymer bridge in Mapledurham, near Reading in southern England.
ECS is the UK agent for FiberCore Europe and the scheme will use the proprietary technology for the new bridge.
The location of the bridge is impossible to access with a large articulated lorry so the proposal that ECS has put forward will involve loading the lightweight new structure onto floating pontoons and transporting it to the site by river.
