The modular bridge solution developed for projects such as East West Rail and HS2 Enabling Works (North) leverages Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and tools to enable construction in a controlled factory environment.

This solution involves offsite manufacturing of components, such as modular abutments, which reduces labour by 40% and minimises onsite trades. The approach enhances safety by limiting exposure to onsite risks and reduces disruption by allowing key structures to be constructed offline.

Additionally, this solution reduces programme timelines and costs by using standardised and modular components, the solution improves control and coordination, resulting in safer and more efficient construction processes.
