The Institution of Structural Engineers
The Institution is the world's largest membership organisation dedicated to structural engineering.
Event organised by ICE
This event will explore the new Gull Wing Bridge, a major infrastructure project in Lowestoft by Farrans. The presentation will dive into the bridge’s construction and the technical challenges overcome by the team, as well as its role as a catalyst to improve travel times and connectivity within the town.
The team will provide an overview of the project timeline and main elements and the construction techniques used, focusing on four areas of the works.
This is a great opportunity to learn about construction of the world’s largest rolling bascule bridge lifted by hydraulic cylinders and the techniques and innovation used to deliver the project.
