Summary

Machine-generated summary

Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) seeks an external, suitably qualified and experienced Principal Contractor to carry out strengthening works to Penallta Road Bridge, Penallta Road, Ystrad Mynach, Hengoed, Caerphilly County Borough, Wales. CCBC's Engineering Projects Group is the client and will oversee the works. The solution involves constructing a reinforced concrete box structure to provide long-term support to the existing bridge, with voids between the old and new structure infilled with foam concrete for full load transfer and structural continuity. Permanent formwork of blockwork with blue pennant stone cladding on all exposed faces, mechanically tied at both end elevations, is required. The existing superstructure remains in situ, but the structural arrangement and load-bearing behaviour will fundamentally change.

Description

Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) is seeking to appoint an external suitably qualified and experienced Principal Contractor to undertake works to Penallta Road Bridge, Penallta Road, Ystrad Mynach, Hengoed, Caerphilly County Borough, Wales, CF82 7GN. CCBC’s Engineering Projects Group (EPG) is the client for this project and will oversee the works. The proposed strengthening solution comprises the construction of a reinforced concrete box structure designed to provide long-term support to the existing asset. Any voids between the existing structure and the new reinforced concrete box will be infilled with foam concrete to ensure full load transfer and structural continuity. Permanent formwork will be utilised, consisting of blockwork construction with blue pennant stone cladding to all exposed faces, mechanically tied at both end elevations to provide a durable and aesthetically sympathetic finish. It should be noted that the existing superstructure will remain in situ. However, the introduction of the reinforced concrete box and associated infill will fundamentally alter the structural arrangement and load-bearing behaviour of the asset when compared with its current configuration.
