Soil & Building A/S were contracted to widen the bridge, allowing for the stacking of left-turning traffic and reduced queuing delays and congestion.  The works also included substantial amounts of underground service relocation along with widening of the intersection and its approaches.

​

Technology was key to working efficiently and safely. Our GPS recorded the position of all the utility ducts during installation, while the piles were bottom driven their capacity checked with a pile driving analysis (PDA). But there was also plenty of demand for more traditional skill-sets including civil works, carpentry and structural steel tying.

​

The most challenging aspect of this 93 million DKK project was to manage traffic, pedestrians and access to local businesses while simultaneously undertaking major civil works in a confined site.  As always on a busy roading project, good traffic management is critical. Our TMP included dedicated personnel; variable message boards to update road users, letter drops to affected stakeholders, temporary pedestrian footpaths, plus secure barriers to separate the work site from the public.
