- As part of London Borough of Haringey’s strategy to strengthen all their main truck roads structures, McNicholas Plc were awarded this £1m project to reconstruct and re-strengthen this B road structure over an existing canal at Turnpike Lane.
- This challenging project certainly saw the logistics management taken to a new level and a complete new challenge to the team as the canal had to be dammed to allow the works to be carried out whilst flow of water was maintained by setting up numerous pumps to take the water through the bridge structure and to the other side of the bridge.
- Maylim Ltd’s work was to complete the full civils works to the underside of the bridge by excavating the full bed of the canal under the bridge, placement of concrete sub slab base to take the pre-formed culvert units that were then craned and jacked in to place by means of installed rails and hydraulic mechanical jacks. Following the installation of the culvert units, we then completed the construction of retaining walls at each end of the bridge before pumping foam concrete to the surround between the culvert units and the arch of the underside of the bridge, to give the existing structure the required strength for traffic.
- Our works were then extended to the full reconstruction of the highway works over the bridge including forming and placement of a P1 crash retaining wall barriers to either side. The works were these completed with a full resurfacing of the carriageway and repaving of the adjacent and approaching footways.
- All this work was carried out to an excellent quality within the 9 week construction programme.
