Notice Description
Swindon Borough Council invites market engagement from suitably qualified and experienced service providers ahead of an upcoming tendering activity associated with maintenance and remedial works at Liden Brook Bridge (Southern Connector Road, Swindon).

The primary matters identified for remedial works include excessive translational movement arising in several elastomeric bearings and excessive settlements on the approach to the bridge. There are several other defects that are present in the bridge, which will look to be addressed within the same contract, these include repairs to parapets, approach safety barriers (Vehicle Restraint Systems), bridge joints, riverside maintenance paths, etc - further information is included within the PME documentation. Full details relating to the PME surrounding the future Works are provided in the PME documents.
