Skanska installs 92-metre railway bridge [ – video]


The bridge was rolled into place on SPMTs in less than three hours

Bridge 13 on the Stechford to Aston (SAS) rail line was installed on Saturday 7th May 2022.

The bridge was assembled offline, with Severfield steelwork, in a compound alongside the existing railway lines. On installation day, Mammoet moved the structure into place on 18 self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs). The move took just under three hours to complete.

The 92-metre-long bridge in Stechford is being built as part of an £85m project to enable planned HS2 tracks to pass underneath existing Network Rail lines.

Patrick Cawley, director for ‘on network works’ for HS2 and Network Rail, said: “Huge amounts of planning and effort went into this complex bridge move and I’d like to pay tribute to all of those who’ve worked so hard to bring this impressive structure to Birmingham’s skyline.”

Skanska Rail programme director Rosario Barcena said: “It’s been a complex project from a design and engineering perspective but thanks to the collaborative approach, involving Network Rail, HS2, our supply chain and local community, we have achieved this successful outcome.”

NuGen Properties built an extension to the rear of my property, replacing the old conservatory. I am so pleased I chose this company. From the initial quotation, through the build and after they were professional, polite & well mannered. They kept the site tidy throughout the build and kept me informed of each stage as it happened. The work was finished to a good standard and I have had nothing but compliments on their work. I am already planning for them to come back and do some more work for me in a few months. I would 100% recommend them.
