| Carillion Civil Engineering ‘Bridges the Gap’ in Rugby UK support services and construction company Carillion have completed another major milestone on the Rugby Western Relief Road project for clients Warwickshire County Council. Construction continues apace on the new 6km bypass. This summer, significant successes include the casting of the reinforced concrete bridge deck over the West Coast Main Line at Parkfield Road and the demolition of a brick arch road bridge at the adjacent Bilton Sidings. The 140m3 deck took five hours to pour during a night time weekend possession of the railway line. The pour required detailed planning and risk management in order to guarantee the tracks being released back to Network Rail on schedule. The completion of the bridge deck enabled the demolition of Lawford Road bridge, an existing brick arch structure over the railway line at Bilton Sidings. All waste material from the demolition has been recycled and will be used within the works as road construction, thus underlining Warwickshire County Council's and Carillion's commitment to sustainable construction. Carillion Civil Engineering won the two year contract which involves the 6km road stretching from Potford's Dam on the A4071 to the Avon Mill roundabout at the junction of Newbold Road and the A426 Leicester Road. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
