CIHT Cymru Wales - A553 Expressway presentation

Microsoft Teams Webinar – CIHT Cymru Wales

Overview

The presentation will cover various aspects of design and construction of the new A533 Expressway Replacement Bridge in Runcorn, Cheshire.

Covering the challenges faced by the integrated team, consisting of National Highways, Amey, Sir Robert McAlpine and WSP, this presentation will look at how these challenges were overcome, including the offline construction of the composite deck and its placement by SPMT, the accommodation of numerous services and more. 

This presentation will be of particular interest to structures (bridges), highways and construction professionals, however, this is a wide-ranging presentation that will appeal to a wider audience.
