This project involved repairing a footbridge that had suffered repeated vandalism, including severe damage to the timber railings and fire damage to the decking. The works focused on replacing vulnerable materials with more secure and durable alternatives.
Secure Replacement Railings
Designed to Withstand Vandalism
The remaining damaged timber railings were removed and replaced with vertical bar railings. These were secured at each end in concrete footings and fixed through the bridge supports using heavy security bolts to provide a more robust and tamper-resistant solution.
- Damaged timber railings removed
- Vertical bar railings installed
- Railings secured in concrete footings
- Fixed through bridge supports with heavy security bolts
- Improved resistance to vandalism
Reinforced Decking Surface
Aluminium Checker Plate Finish
The existing decking was overclad with aluminium checker plate, secured using non-removable screws to prevent tampering. This provided a durable surface designed to withstand future damage.
- Decking overclad with aluminium checker plate
- Fixed using non-removable screws
