Velindre Hospital Access Bridge, Cardiff
The Velindre Hospital access bridge is a single span ladder beam type structure fashioned from weathering grade steel plate. This essential bridge provides a new access road to the new Velindre Cancer Centre.
The design of this bridge presented unique challenges, including pre-cambers, high skew angles, and a longitudinal elevation fall, adding complexity to the geometrical profiles. Our dedicated in-house design team meticulously navigated these complexities through careful planning and consideration to ensure fit-up and stability at every stage of the erection sequence.
The two main girders were delivered in three sections, assembled, and transported from the assembly location and installed using a 600Te crane with a 300Te Superlift counterweight.
