Full Rail Closure

We’re very proud to have successfully completed the Christmas Day installation of this flagship architectural Active Travel Bridge for our valued client The Hill Group, delivered as part of their new development at Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire. We managed the complete scheme and interface with TFL on behalf of the client, arranging all of the track possessions for the early works and main installation, the track was successfully handed back to TFL early in readiness for their service recommencement

Bridge Design

The bespoke corrosion resistant 43m x 4m Weathering Steel Warren Truss bridge, featuring an asymmetric perforated panel parapet, was fully designed, manufactured, delivered, and installed in-house by the Beaver Bridges team, showcasing our true end-to-end capability and commitment to quality.

Full Turnkey Service

The Hill Group engaged Beaver Bridges over a year ago through our award-winning “Bridge Concept to Completion” service. On this scheme, our scope included:

• Bridge Optioneering
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Planning and Management of LUL Possession
• Foundation Design, Piling & Construction Works
• Bridge Design & Fabrication
• Temporary Works
• Transport Planning & Logistics
• Bridge Installation

A fantastic team effort to deliver a complex project safely, efficiently, and on time, on Christmas Day, using a Liebherr LG1550 Crane which safely lifted in the 74te bridge with the lift plan fully designed and managed in-house by Beaver Bridges. It was a privilege to deliver this important bridge to our valued client The Hill Group, with its innovative design, full credit goes to our in-house teams for driving this scheme, a fantastic example of collaborative working, careful planning, and precision delivery, completed safely and successfully on one of the most challenging days of the year

“The successful installation of this new pedestrian and cycle bridge in the early hours of Christmas Day morning was truly a mammoth undertaking, and we are delighted that this stage of infrastructure works is now complete. The delivery of this new bridge across the railway line, providing direct access to Chalfont and Latimer Station, is a huge achievement and has been over a year in the planning. Thank you to the Hill team and Beaver Bridges for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism to help us make this happen. It is a pivotal moment for the future of Little Chalfont Park, which will deliver 380 new homes for Buckinghamshire, alongside a wealth of green open space.”
