Case Study: Roads & Bridges
Project: Upper Forth Crossing at Kincardine
Location: Kincardine, Fife, Scotland
Client: Transport Scotland
Contract value: £100m
Start: Summer 2006 Completion: November 2008
Brief Description
Morgan Est secured this £100m contract due to our proven track record in incrementally launched structures. The adoption of this technique has enabled the bridge to be constructed from one side, minimising the environmental impact on the saltmarshes and mudflats that form part of the feeding and nesting grounds for migratory birds.
At 1.2km in length and weighing in excess of 35,000 tonnes, Kincardine Crossing will be one of the worlds largest bridge decks constructed using an incremental launch technique.
