Barmouth Viaduct is a 150-year-old Grade II* listed structure and a significant landmark on the north-west coast of Wales in the UK. The bridge is an access route, carrying a single-track railway, a public footpath and cycleway over an estuary. The 820m long structure consists of the longest timber railway bridge in Great Britain and five metallic spans over the navigation channel.
In 2020 it was recognised that the metallic spans were life expired and a design and build contract was awarded for their replacement.
This presentation will cover the technical aspects related to the detailed design of the new metallic spans including the main temporary works and the construction methodology adopted for the successful delivery of the heritage structure. It will be presented by Mark Scrivener and Riccardo Stroscio of Tony Gee and Partners.
This webinar is organised by the Railway Civil Engineers Association. The RCEA advances professional development and knowledge in railway engineering, including main lines, metros, and light rail.
