Challenge
Upon investigation of the ground conditions, the ground was found to be very poor. The lanes leading to the location of the bridge were very narrow and uneven, making access difficult for delivery of heavy machinery and materials.
Solution
An alternative solution was devised to incorporate Aquaspira pipes and a vegetated bag system. This enabled the existing reinforced earthworks to be retained to support the road, and the bridge opening could then be formed with the Aquaspira pipe. This lightweight solution reduced the imposed load on the ground to minimise settlement, whilst reducing volumes of concrete and steel.
Outcome
Site logistics and construction complexity were greatly eased, and the project provided a great example of how a significant reduction in carbon and better solutions can be achieved by considering alternatives to conventional norms.
Helsington Moss Bridge Project achieved a 79% CO2e saving against the original baseline.
