CASE STUDY
The bridge on the River Witham
Jack Tighe sub-contracted the scaffold and encapsulation aspects of the work to two existing members of their approved supply chain, SGS Scaffolding and Envirowrap respectively, with a manned safety boat supplied by Kier for all scaffold erection and dismantling works. During the project, the bridge was closed to all traffic, but remained open to pedestrians and cyclists. Phase one of the project involved blasting and painting half of the underside of
the bridge and all of the parapets, this allowed the road to be re-opened and available for civils works at an earlier stage, phase two was to complete the remainder of the underside of the bridge. Heavy rainfall in mid-June caused the River Witham to rise to an unsafe level for
work to continue and the flood risk in place delayed work by four days. Consequently, the Jack Tighe team worked closely with Kier and all other parties to work additional shifts and catch up on lost time. Steve Rudkin, Kier Programme Manager said, "I would like to thank all those
involved in planning, delivering and managing the works, despite the weather doing its bit to disrupt things, we substantially completed all key tasks and met the original completion date. The organisation and co-operation between all parties has been first class and it has been a pleasure to work with the teams concerned. Bardney bridge has been given a new lease of life and feedback from locals on the way site personnel conducted themselves and carried out the work has been very positive."
