Alderley Street Pedestrian Bridge

The Alderley Street pedestrian bridge, once a timber structure marred by significant deterioration, underwent a remarkable transformation with our involvement in the design of a cutting-edge replacement. Kehoe Myers assisted Wagner Investments with the design of a new pedestrian bridge, to be completed using Wagners innovative product CFT – Composite Fibre Technology.

Composite fibre stands out for its superior durability when compared to traditional materials like concrete, steel, and timber, making it an increasingly preferred choice for such applications.

The bridge designed by our structural engineers boasts a sleek three-span configuration, featuring generous 4-meter approaches on each side, a commanding 22-meter span, totalling 30 meters in length, and spanning 4 meters in width. By introducing a new alignment, we optimised cost efficiencies for our valued client, ensuring an economically sound solution.

Unlike its timber and steel counterparts, our bridge is designed for composite fibre construction, promising reduced maintenance requirements and an extended service life due to the material's inherent durability.

In addition to the structural design, our civil engineering designed the erosion and sediment control measures. Meanwhile, our project coordination team compiled Safety in Design reports and a comprehensive Risk Register, ensuring the project's smooth execution and adherence to the highest safety standards.
