Project Report – Great River Ouse Bridge

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Up and Under Group

Out in the dark again, I am sure some of our guys are developing echo location and the ability to hang upside down by their feet ………… actually ;o)

Today’s project report is a short one about a pretty large Principal Inspection.  It included a delamation (hammer tap) survey and concrete testing of the 7 span Great River Ouse Bridge near King’s Lynn for Atkins.

Hammer testing all surfaces

The testing comprised 8 No. test panels to the soffit and 4 panels to each of two piers.  We chose to use an underbridge unit, as the most effective means of gaining access to the soffit above the river and waterlogged spans.
