At moments like this, it's nice to get the occasional reminder of happier times! So we were really pleased to receive some pictures from a happy client of the bridge that we designed last year. Looking pretty smart in-situ in France, the bridge was designed by #OrthotropicEngineering and fabricated by #EtsoFabrication. It'll handle regular light traffic and the occasional heavy emergency vehicle. Visit our projects page to read more about this and other work we've undertak

Today we wave 'au revoir' to the bridge that has been a significant part of our lives for the past few months. Designed by #OrthotropicEngineering and built by #JackLindsay, it's about to leave for installation in France, but not before a last check-assembly and photo-call! The durable green oak deck is secured to the frame with corrosion resistant stainless steel bolts: Long personal experience in subsea engineering means that we understand how to combine dissimilar materi

Exciting pictures arriving from Jack Lindsay who's busy building the 14m access bridge recently designed at #OrthotropicEngineering. Fast progress and looking like great workmanship! The first picture shows the structural layout of the bridge to good effect: Longitudinal steel box members provide the bending strength, stabilised by regularly spaced vertical box members and transverse I-section beams. The second picture (below) captures the diagonal lacing added to each sid
