SHENERGY Approach
Approach
SHENERGY carried out a site survey and condition inspection of the failed joint system, developed a suitable remediation design, and coordinated traffic management to allow safe removal and replacement while keeping the bridge operational for surrounding traffic. Waterproofing was applied around the new joint system to protect the structure from ongoing water ingress and support the durability of the repair.
