Rebuild of Knutton Lane Bridge Parapet Walls for Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council

About

Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council awarded a contract to Stoneguard for the rebuild of parapet walls on both sides of Knutton Lane Bridge, following mortar failure in the existing walls.

The works involved dismantling the walls to the bridge deck and reconstructing them to the existing height using Blue Engineering Class B bricks and Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar.

The scope included salvaging existing bricks for reuse or sale to a salvage yard, implementing a road closure with application and management by the Council, erecting scaffolding and crash decking to maintain the cycle route underneath the bridge, notifying residents within 100 meters, and providing a site compound and welfare facilities.

The contract value was £34,543.
