GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW This asset MultiPlate MP200 stockpile conveyor tunnel (with escape tunnel and bulk head) is located at Wickwar Quarry, Asphalt & Concrete Plant, in Gloucestershire. The customer approached asset looking to invest in a new, safer stockpile conveyor system for a 10m stockpile, which is a specialised underground structure located beneath bulk material piles that provides a safe, efficient way to reclaim and transport materials using gravity feeds. Our asset MultiPlate corrugated steel solution was chosen due to our tried and testing history in supplying corrugated steel for similar conveyor projects. The final stockpile tunnel has a diameter of 3.53m, and a length of 22.8m (escape tunnel length: 20m). PROBLEM SOLVED The asset MultiPlate MP200 Round Pipe improves capacity and safety of the plant. The structure provides a safe, covered environment for feeders and conveyors, protecting them from environmental elements and reducing operational hazards. The bolted structure also provides the strength required to withstand forces applied via the bulk material pile, thus protecting the conveyor system underneath. ESG Due to the lightweight steel solution, we were able to significantly reduce the carbon required for an installation of this size and scale. Site disruptions were also kept to a minimum, due to the rapid, in-situ installation of our modular asset MultiPlate system.

CORNWALL, ENGLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW The existing A30 road (based in Cornwall, connecting Chiverton to Carland Cross) required dualling, to increase its capacity within a strategic location. Due to high traffic volumes driven largely by tourism, this project required construction of a new road whilst maintaining operation of the A30 route. Numerous underbridge crossings were required on the project to promote local transport and community connectivity. We were approached to design and supply a series of structures to facilitate this requirement: asset BEBO Arch: 4x concrete arch structures (12m spans, varying lengths underneath the main A30 dual carriageway). asset VSoL Wall: 7x rectangular panel asset VSoL walls used as end treatment solutions to the asset BEBO arches and beam bridges. PROBLEM SOLVED The A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross for client National Highways was a challenging build, due to maintaining traffic flow on the existing A30 road during the build. We devised an installation sequence to build the structure in two halves, by utilising temporary sheet piles. The aim was to retain the carriageway to allow traffic to continue with a traffic switch, transferring the traffic onto half of the new structure before finalising the asset BEBO installation and opening the complete carriageway. Our standardised asset VSoL wall designs also enabled interchangeable panels on site, which helped to facilitate repeatable manufacturing. ESG This project relied heavily on local connectivity, providing significant social value to the surrounding areas. By minimising local community disruption, we were able to keep the road open during installation due to the modular nature of our concrete products. This allowed for an expediated and staged construction in order to keep the busy route open.

BISHOPTHORPE, ENGLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW Bishopthorpe Bridge carries the Appleton Road over a footpath/cycleway owned by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. It is a single carriageway with one lane of traffic in each direction. An assessment of Bishopthorpe Bridge found the structure to be incapable of carrying 40 tonnes of assessment live loading, and recommended that an 18 tonnes weight restriction should be imposed. PROBLEM SOLVED The asset MultiPlate MP200 corrugated steel underpass provides a compliant and durable strengthening solution for Bishopthorpe Bridge, transforming the structure into a fully load‑carrying system in accordance with Highway Structures and Bridges CD 375, and the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). The system safely accommodates 40‑tonne highway loading and STGO vehicles, enabling removal of the existing 18‑tonne TTRO and restoring full operational capacity. The bolted, galvanised steel structure with foamed concrete infill offers rapid installation, minimal disruption, and a 120‑year design life with low maintenance requirements. The solution integrates effectively with the existing bridge, incorporates environmental mitigation measures, and delivers a resilient, cost‑effective upgrade fully aligned with the Approval in Principle requirements. ESG The new asset MultiPlate structure has been specifically designed to accommodate both human traffic and wildlife, including: Social: The required structure envelope was provided by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, and allows clearance for cycling, equestrian and maintenance access. Environment: Environmental mitigation, including ecological constraints, bat tubes, swift bricks, and habitat protection.

World Blood Donor Day is a global tribute to the millions of voluntary, unpaid blood donors whose generosity saves lives every day. Their contributions are essential to health systems everywhere, supporting patients during emergencies, childbirth, surgeries, cancer treatment and the lifelong care of many serious conditions. This year’s campaign, “One Drop of Humanity. Give Blood. Save Lives.”, places humanity at the heart of every blood donation. Thank you Matt, we learnt a lot during the session and have been inspired to contribute.

PERTH, SCOTLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW The provided underpass forms part of the Perth Town Lade footway/cycleway/equestrian route, which supports the new B9993 Ruthvenfield Link Road. The original design was an asset MultiPlate arch sitting on top of the Lade culvert. PROBLEM SOLVED During the design process, the underpass’ location moved, and is now parallel to (but higher in the embankment) than the Lade culvert. With asset’s value engineering input, a closed ring structure was chosen to eliminate the needs of foundation slabs. asset MultiPlate MP200 UnderPass length: 58.25m.

EAST BILNEY, DEREHAM PROJECT OVERVIEW asset MultiPlate MP200 Pipe Arch (length 37.5m) was used on this project based in East Bilney, Dereham. The works comprised of the installation of a corrugated steel segmental culvert below School Road, which was required to carry a conveyor for extracted material from an extension to East Bilney Quarry.

WOKINGHAM, ENGLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW asset International Structures Ltd were able to deliver a significant programme improvement on the Arborfield Cross Relief Road project, by engaging early with the client to understand the site constraints and construction sequencing. The chosen solution was an E66T/0 asset BEBO green bridge with bevel ends (Span: 20.1m Length: 33m Rise: 5.8m). Bevels were brought to site earlier, and temporary propping was fitted adjacent to the road. When lifted into position, this avoids working at height and also accelerated the installation program. PROBLEM SOLVED A typical bevel ended structure installation would see the main barrel of the arch built first, followed by the smaller bevel units. By utilising the generous lay down area available at site, we delivered the asset BEBO bevel units first to the area adjacent to the structure. This allowed temporary works to be fitted to the units on the ground. As a result, the 33m structure was installed in less than 3 days, and harmoniously incorporates the movement of people, wildlife and vehicles. ESG This green structure is the perfect example of providing wildlife connectivity across a busy highway. Our aim is to always respect the surrounding landscape, and we design our asset BEBO structures to fit the existing terrain. This green bridge also provides a social benefit by enabling walkers and cyclists to use the footpath above the busy road below. asset BEBO Green Bridges supply key ESG benefits, including reducing wildlife collisions, improving safety, as well as addressing the chronic ecological problem of habitat fragmentation.

SALTFORD, ENGLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW The Saltford Water Recycling Centre Access Road project included a total of 18 asset MultiPlate corrugated steel buried structures (CSBS). This impressive installation allowed the natural flooding of the river Avon to take place within the ‘Ecological Wetland Scrape’ and lagoons, at Saltford. Asset provided the suitable designed profiles for the chosen contractors to model, which determined the hydraulic performance, and therefore the number of overall culverts required. This project also demonstrates that the end treatment follows the road alignment effectively, and creates a green embankment which allows this series of buried structures to blend into the natural surroundings. PROBLEM SOLVED The project aims to reduce traffic movements and congestion in Saltford village, and provide improved access to the water recycling facility to enable its expansion. The new Saltford Water Recycling Centre Access Road and footbridge over the River Chew (in Keynsham’s Memorial Park), were among 12 selected engineering schemes to go forward to the online vote in the ICE South West People’s Choice Award. ESG The new access road from the A431 at Swineford includes a new bridge over the River Avon, and three new ponds for wildlife. The 18 asset MultiPlate culverts maintain natural flooding of the Avon river without choking it. The ‘Ecological Wetland Scrape’ has been designed to provide a habitat for amphibians, invertebrates, mammals and wetland birds, providing wildlife connectivity within the surrounding area.
