Overview of work completed

Warbreck Avenue Footbridge is located on the Sandhill Junction to Ormskirk Line, 4 miles north of Liverpool Central Station. It provides important access to local residents.

Scope of work

  • Detailed civil works to the footbridge to remove the existing traffic islands and replace them with trief kerb islands
  • Installation of 340mm height kerb which was designed to be sufficient at preventing motorised vehicles gaining access
  • Installation of ‘NO ENTRY’ signage due to the central gap between the two islands was approximately 1.25m at top of kerb and 0.88m at the carriageway surface
  • Production of a Scheme drawing by Browns as a detailed design using the standard design for trief kerbs
  • Works were undertaken within a ‘high street environment’
  • Signage and pedestrian walking routes to avoid any public interaction – improving the site safety
  • Heras fencing was installed with an access gate as segregation from the worksite
  • Existing kerbs were then removed by the excavator and removed off site into storage waiting for disposal
  • New trief kerb design installed as per the AFC drawings with the surroundings of the island sealed once installed

Successes

  • Works were completed on time and to programme
  • Good relationships with subcontractors and stakeholders resulted in quick and efficient delivery of the design and physical works
  • By using a scheme drawing instead of a full detailed design, it helped speed up the design process whilst still maintaining suitable safety and integrity within the design
