Brief Description
Replacement of a life expired footbridge at Ferryboat Lane near Mexborough, to DDA compliant regulations.
Replacement of a life expired footbridge at Ferryboat Lane near Mexborough, to DDA compliant regulations.
The existing access over the railway at Ferryboat Lane near Mexborough consisted of a life expired steel footbridge constructed in the 1940s which was in a poor state of repair. The closure of the adjacent foot crossing some years prior resulted in poor accessibility between the communities of Mexborough and Old Denaby.
A new footbridge comprising of staircases and DDA compliant ramps had been in the planning stages for some years. CML worked closely with Network Rail and design partners to complete the design and fabrication of the structure under the RCDP framework. Implementation works commenced in March 2021 following contract award and were set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was managed by CML’s experienced Structures Project team based in Leeds, with support from our established supply chain partners. Integral to the successful delivery of the project was a positive and collaborative working relationship with our supply chain partners and the Network Rail Project team.
CML managed the design to AFC and bridge fabrication under a previous framework contract with Network Rail during CP5. Following the award for the implementation works, the design elements were predominantly temporary works for the crane pads and the piling design. Due to programme constraints the review and approval process for the piling and temporary works designs had to be completed in a timely manner. This was achieved through our level of self-assurance employed by our project / in house design team – our systems and processes allow us to undertake these tasks ensuring right first time and effectively limiting client interaction, speeding up the client review process. By including specialist piling contractors from the supply chain in the design process, we were able to adopt the most suitable and efficient pile design to fit the site constraints and drive best value.
