Holme Bridge, Burnley
Holme Bridge Burnley is a Reinforced Concrete Motorway Bridge spanning the River Calder supporting all lanes of the M65 Motorway. On one side of the river the main support beams were suffering from corrosion of the reinforcing bars and as a result the concrete was deteriorating and laminating.
Project Details
Parkwood Contractors were selected to carry out Repairs.
The works involved awkward access to sections of the bridge overhanging the river. A cantilevered scaffold system was designed and implemented which involved no support being placed within the watercourse. This type of scaffolding eliminates risk of flood water damaging the scaffolding causing difficulties for the Environment Agency with the scaffolding causing obstruction issues.
