81m four-span overbridge allowing HS2 beneath the historic Fosse Way Roman road. Proactive logistics overcame adverse weather.
B4114 Birmingham Road Underbridge
Will support four HS2 rail lines. Edge protection pre-fitted offline — entire delivery and installation completed in just two days.
Lavender Hall Lane Overbridge
52.6m three-span integral bridge. Road permanently realigned and raised ~10m for HS2 clearance. Constructed partially offline.

Single-span integral bridge at 90° to track. Accommodates agricultural access, PRoW footpath, and 16m-wide green bridge feature.
Offchurch Greenway Overbridge
69m, 22m-wide green overbridge. All 45 beams delivered and installed within 10 days despite challenging weather conditions.
Hollywell Brook Underbridge
Allows Hollywell Brook to pass beneath HS2 Birmingham Interchange, minimising environmental impact and flood risk.
Attleboro Flyover Retaining Walls
Hybrid two-stage construction. Props serve as temporary restraints during excavation then provide permanent support once base slab is complete.
Drayton Lane Overbridge
58.6m three-span structure, 120-year design life. Deck width of 17m. Engineered for safe vehicle passage over two HS2 mainline tracks.
Bangley Lane Overbridge
54.9m three-span bridge carrying realigned Bangley Lane over two HS2 mainline tracks. Owned and maintained by HS2.
B4101 Waste Lane Overbridge
61m three-span bridge at 15° skew. One pier linked to Burton Green retaining wall; other built using top-down methods with single row of piles.
Darnford Lane Overbridge
53m three-span integral bridge engineered for 120-year service life. 24.2m central span at 1.5° skew over twin HS2 slab track.
A445 Leicester Lane Overbridge
Vital crossing carrying realigned A445 over HS2. Three-span integral structure, eight T-beams per span, 10.8m overall width.
Sutton Road Overbridge
Precast beam production and temporary works governance for a highway overbridge carrying Sutton Road over the HS2 mainline under the FTB scope.
Watton House East & West Viaduct
Twin multi-span viaduct structures carrying the realigned highway over the HS2 mainline. Precast beam production and full temporary works governance under the FTB scope.
Church Lane Overbridge
Precast beam production and temporary works governance for the Church Lane overbridge carrying the realigned local road over the HS2 mainline under the FTB scope.
River Leam Viaduct
Multi-span viaduct carrying the HS2 mainline over the River Leam. Precast beam production and full temporary works governance under the FTB scope.
A45 Service Road Overbridge
Precast beam production and temporary works governance for the A45 Service Road overbridge carrying the realigned local road over the HS2 mainline under the FTB scope.
M42 Coleshill South Viaduct
Precast beam production and temporary works governance for the M42 Coleshill South viaduct structure carrying the realigned highway over the HS2 mainline under the FTB scope.
Steel
Selected steel structures across rail, commercial, energy and industrial projects — engineering, assurance and fabrication oversight.
HRSG Noreste & Altamira
Structural analysis and check of HRSGs and auxiliary steel structures for two Mexican combined-cycle plants (850 MW Noreste, 1,155 MW Altamira V) to Eurocode, AISC and ASCE with seismic analysis.
La Mède Biorefinery
QA/QC compliance lead for structural and geotechnical packages on Total's €337M refinery-to-biorefinery conversion near Marseille — structural assessment of existing facilities.
Waterloo Station — Roof Infill
Glazed steel-framed infill roof bridging the Grimshaw WIT arch and the 1920s concourse roofs. 52m spine truss (4.2m deep, 27t) on 508mm CHS columns — 2020 Structural Steel Design Award Commendation.
