Structural Repairs & Traffic Management
specialist engineering support to Highway Authorities, Concessionaires and Tier 1 Contractors worldwide. From the routine maintenance of reinforced concrete bridges to complex emergency works following vehicle impact, our mission is simple: extend the life of the asset while minimising disruption to the road user.
The strategic road network is the backbone of national infrastructure, yet it faces a perfect storm of challenges. Decades of heavy traffic loading, freeze-thaw cycles and the aggressive use of de-icing salts have accelerated the deterioration of concrete and masonry assets.
Structural Repairs provides specialist engineering support to Highway Authorities, Concessionaires and Tier 1 Contractors worldwide. From the routine maintenance of reinforced concrete bridges to complex emergency works following vehicle impact, our mission is simple: extend the life of the asset while minimising disruption to the road user.
We move fast to reduce your Traffic Management (TM) spend, utilising agile teams and rapid-setting technologies to complete critical repairs during tight engineering windows or overnight closures.
Innovation: Engineering the Solution
In the highways sector, “time is money” is literal—lane rental charges and TM costs often exceed the value of the repair itself. We innovate to reduce your time on site.
- Rapid-Cure Deck Repairs: We utilise specialist fast-setting mortars and resins that achieve full structural strength in as little as two hours. This allows us to cut out, repair and reinstate a bridge deck within a single overnight shift, ensuring the road reopens for the morning rush hour without penalties.
- Composite Impact Solutions: When bridges are struck by over-height vehicles, demolition is often the default fear. We have pioneered the use of high-modulus Carbon Fibre (CFRP) laminates to restore lost tensile strength to damaged beams. This solution is non-intrusive, adds negligible weight and can often be applied from mobile access platforms, avoiding long-term road closures.
Concrete Bridges & Viaducts
- Concrete Repair & Reinstatement: Hand-placed and sprayed concrete repairs to spalling piers, abutments and soffits.
- Structural Strengthening: Application of Carbon Fibre (CFRP) plates to increase the live load capacity of ageing structures.
- Crack Injection: Low-viscosity resin injection to seal structural cracks and prevent water ingress.
Culverts & Retaining Walls
- Culvert Strengthening: Installation of GRP liners or structural spray concrete to rehabilitate failing drainage structures without excavation.
- Ground Anchoring: Stabilisation of wing walls and retaining structures using soil nails and ground anchors to arrest movement.
Bridge Bearings & Joints
- Bearing Replacement: Design and installation of temporary propping and hydraulic jacking systems to unload bridge decks, allowing for the replacement of seized or failed bearings.
- Expansion Joint Remediation: Repair and replacement of buried and mechanical joints to prevent salt water leaking onto the substructure—a primary cause of pier corrosion.
Gantries & Signage Supports
- Foundation Repair: Strengthening of concrete bases and plinths for overhead gantries.
- Protective Coatings: Application of anti-carbonation coatings to extend the durability of exposed concrete elements.
Inspection, Survey & NDT
We provide the data you need to make informed Asset Management decisions.
- Bridge Deck Inspections: Testing for chloride content, carbonation depth and half-cell potential mapping to predict remaining service life.
- GPR Scanning: Non-destructive location of tendons, rebar and voids within post-tensioned structures.
- Cover Meter Surveys: Verifying concrete cover depth to ensure compliance with design standards.
