Concrete Repair Association announces 2019 Award winner

摘要

Three projects were shortlisted from entries received from members of the CRA, with the runners-up announced as Currall Lewis 8c Martin Construction (CLM) and Sika.The CRL and VL alliance, formed to work on the M5 Oldbury Viaduct, was announced as the winner of the CRA Award. It was praised for the genuine collaboration and innovative methodology developed, which enabled the sharing of learning, resources, materials and plant, allowing the project - the largest concrete repair project ever carried out in the UK - to be delivered on time despite its size and complexity.Formerly part of the Midland Links Motorway, the M5 Oldbury Viaduct is a 1.8-mile (3.2km)-long elevated section to the west of Birmingham. Although considered structurally sound, Highways England realised the need to carry out essential repair work to the concrete decks, deck ends and cross-head beams.
