LUNCARTY, SCOTLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW asset International Structures Ltd developed an elliptical 30m span E30mT asset BEBO arch solution for the A9 Dualling scheme at Luncarty, Scotland. The wide span allowed the structure to be built over an existing watercourse without disturbing the natural streambed, and to also accommodate an access track linking agricultural land on either side of the new highway. PROBLEM SOLVED A new road was required over a watercourse (within a green belt area) as part of the Dualling scheme, with the aim to make the route safer and increase capacity. The chosen structure needed to blend into the surrounding landscape not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from an ESG standpoint. ESG asset BEBO Green Bridges have been designed with surrounding wildlife and ecosystems in mind. The E30mT asset BEBO Green Bridge was ultimately chosen due to its slender sections and bevel end finish, reducing social impact and providing connectivity to the surrounding areas of Luncarty.

TRANSPENNINE ROUTE UPGRADE (TRU), HUDDERSFIELD PROJECT OVERVIEW In conjunction with the TransPennine Route Upgrade (TRU), we were approached to provide a solution for a retained wall situated alongside an active rail line, based in Huddersfield. The main driver for the project was carbon efficiency, and a series of concrete panels was initially considered for the project. asset FRP was the chosen solution due to its lightweight, durable material, which reduces installation times along with carbon emissions by achieving less energy consumption. PROBLEM SOLVED The asset FRP panels helped to reduce on-site gearing, which would have been required for on-site concrete construction. The modular system expedited the installation process through ease of manual installation instead of relying on heavy lifting gear and machinery. ESG There were a number of ESG benefits to installing an asset FRP King Post Wall for this TRU project, including:   Carbon Reduction -  Making improvements to work schedules during blockades, due to a reduction of on-site installation activity Health & Safety -  Retaining soil behind the asset FRP King Post Wall avoided potential H&S risks of soil spillage onto a live rail track Reduced Emissions -  Less road loads to site due to lightweight products compared to traditional products Global Warming Potential (GWP) -   The GWP (A1-A3) per kilogramme of FRP is 2.2219kg CO2e

NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES PROJECT OVERVIEW The asset FRP Access Steps located over a concrete floodwall at Corporation Road Floodgate, formed part of the flood remediation package at Stephenson Street to protect local businesses and housing. Due to increased speed of installation and to keep the program on track, asset FRP was utilised for this project. The versatile material complies with all applicable standards, including meeting the new standard for accessible and inclusive environments BS 8300. PROBLEM SOLVED The asset FRP solution enabled easy public access across the flood wall to help maintain the Wales Coastal Walk route. The 2m high concrete wall underneath the new steps acts as a sliding floodgate to protect nearby properties. The main driver for this project was to provide access over the floodgate (as it is a public right of way), hence why asset FRP was chosen as the solution. ESG There are many ESG benefits of installing the modular asset FRP system in this environment, including:   Improved social connectivity Low carbon footprint material Sustainable development Flood mitigation Environmental protection   Our asset FRP products also elevate site safety by reducing the risk of accidents with lighter handling materials, minimising the need for heavy machinery use. This also contributes to the low carbon impact of the solution.

COOLE, IRELAND PROJECT OVERVIEW The N17 between Gort and Tuam was opened by the Minister for Transport Shane Ross. The now four-lane highway links Tuam with Gort and progresses on to Shannon airport. PROBLEM SOLVED The clearance profile for the new motorway called for a double span asset BEBO Arch Structure – both inner legs of the arches cut down and resting on a support wall between the roadway lanes. The standard asset BEBO E15.5mT fulfilled all the requirements – a beveled end arrangement completed the layout to fit perfectly into the surrounding environment. ESG asset’s BEBO arches were designed and installed as the first State’s “bat bridge” allowing bats and mammals to cross safely near Lady Gregory’s home of Coole Park. As well as asset's BEBO arches aesthetic design complimenting the surrounding environment, the arches also aim to ensure that the lesser horseshoe bats will use the safe access to Kiltartan cave and feeding grounds in Coole Garryland. Mr Ross was one of two Ministers, a Minister of State, a former junior minister, a Senator and a number of councillors at the opening. He described the motorway as a “huge boost” for the western seaboard area.

RIVER TAY, SCOTLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW asset International Structures Ltd were approached to design and supply a 30m span, 600mm thick asset BEBO arch (T-Series T94) with bevel ends. The arch forms part of a green bridge running over the main highway, connecting wildlife and creating a safe haven for animals. The structure is situated near the banks of the River Tay (which is the longest river is Scotland, north of Perth), and has been developed as part of a wider scheme by Perth and Kinross Council.   A bridge abutment using the asset VSoL retained earth wall system (1,500 square metre cross-shaped panel) has also been planned for the main river crossing. The Cross Tay Link Road is due to open in early 2025. PROBLEM SOLVED The slender section of the asset BEBO structure blends into the surrounding environment, creating a true green bridge aesthetic. The natural look and feel of concrete are an advantage for the project over a more industrial steel finish. The flat arch also accommodates different typographies within the highway & embankment section. ESG The new road aims to significantly reduce congestion and related pollution in Perth City Centre, and further carbon reductions are expected during the construction phase of the project. As well as providing access to both walkers and cyclists, the structure also reduces the long-term impact of biodiversity loss. EPD certification for our asset BEBO precast concrete arch offers verified carbon data to further support the carbon reduction goals of the project.

SALFORD, GREATER MANCHESTER PROJECT OVERVIEW As part of the Railway Bridge No.7 Reconstruction Scheme, Salford City Council required rehabilitation of an existing bridge deck along with maintenance to the cycle route access and usage. The chosen solution for Railway Bridge No.7 was to reline the underpass utilising asset MultiPlate MP200, with a span of 7.78m, a 4.25m rise, and a length of 110m.   Railway Bridge No.7 carries the A580 East Lancashire Road over the disused Eccles, Tyldesley and Wigan railway line based in Salford, Greater Manchester. PROBLEM SOLVED Although the cycle route was temporarily closed during relining, traffic routes were maintained throughout the installation with only intermittent route deviations required during the pumping of foam concrete. As a result of restrengthening the now-redundant existing structure, the asset MultiPlate corrugated solution with a design life of 120 years, now bears the full load of the road above. ESG Deliveries were condensed due to less transportation of material to site, thanks to the lightweight nature of asset MultiPlate corrugated steel. The uninterrupted traffic flowing above the structure also enabled social connectivity along the A580 and beyond. Following successful installation, cyclists were able to use the National Cycle Network Route 55 as originally intended. Through bridge rehabilitation and relining utilising asset MultiPlate, structural integrity was maintained, maximising on-site safety.

NANSLEDAN VILLAGE, CORNWALL PROJECT OVERVIEW We were approached by Network Rail to provide a solution to accommodate a road over a railway line situated in Cornwall, which would enable site access to a new sustainable village called Nansledan, which is Cornish for ‘broad valley’. Once constructed, the proposed structure would not only connect site access to Nansledan, but also to the surrounding communities.   Nansledan is a land-efficient housing development using low-carbon materials. The village is less car-dependent, and also drives a sustainable local economy that helps the community thrive.   The chosen structure for the project was an E72 asset BEBO Arch, square ended (22.6m span, 8.5m rise, 13.27m length), with VSoL walls. PROBLEM SOLVED Constructed over two night possessions, the arch structure was assembled directly over the rail line to enable rail transport to continue during normal daytime operating hours. In doing so, this eliminated disruption to rail networks, train operating companies as well as users and commuters. ESG Nansledan is a sustainable community, and is a perfect example of how the community’s environmental considerations align with our own here at asset. The new asset BEBO Arch and VSoL walls have improved social value by eliminating disruption, and have enabled connectivity to and from the village. We also utilised locally sourced material for this project, namely the VSoL walls, which were granite clad using local materials to minimise carbon emissions.   asset BEBO concrete arches minimise embodied carbon through slender units with reduced structural fill requirements. As per our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for our asset BEBO Precast Concrete Arch, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) A1-A3 per cubic metre of concrete arch is 435kgCO2e.

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

PERTH, SCOTLAND PROJECT OVERVIEW The underpass provided is part of the Perth Town Lade footway/ cycleway / equestrian route which support 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 is chosen to eliminate the needs of foundation slabs. asset MultiPlate MP200 UnderPass length: 58.25m.

WOKINGHAM, BERKSHIRE PROJECT OVERVIEW asset International Structures Ltd were commissioned by consulting engineers Stuart Michael Associates to design, and groundworks contractor Hope & Clay Construction to supply 1 single E66T cut off asset BEBO arch structure, 1 twin E66T cut off asset BEBO arch structure, and 600m2 of asset VSoL retained earth walls and copings for a 400 mixed housing development for Bovis Homes and Persimmon homes, which was adopted by Wokingham Borough Council.

ENNISCORTHY, IRELAND PROJECT OVERVIEW asset International Structures Ltd were commissioned by consulting engineers RPS and ARUP to design, and civil engineering contractor BAM DRAGADOS to supply in excess of 10,000m2 of asset VSoL retained earth walls for 32no structures for road, rail and river crossings for the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy PPP scheme, which was adopted by Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The scheme comprises of a new motorway from the end of the Gorey Bypass at Clogh to the townland of Scurlockbush, south of Enniscorthy. The scheme also includes a bypass of the N30 to the west of Enniscorthy and a link road to the N80. PROBLEM SOLVED The realigned route will comprise the provision of approximately 27 km of M11 Mainline, with a standard dual motorway carriageway type. In addition, approximately 8 km of single carriageway will be constructed to bypass Enniscorthy to the west, by linking the existing N11 to the existing N30 and also approximately 4 km of dual carriageway link road will connect the existing N11 / N80 junction north of Enniscorthy to the M11 Mainline.

TORRE STATION, TORQUAY PROJECT OVERVIEW The project was based near Torre Station, Torquay, a Great Western Railway-managed and Grade II-listed station. We were initially contacted to look at the suitability of utilising our asset BaFix & Sleeve-It system, a proprietary system designed to stabilise railway tracks, for a 200m run of track along the edge of a retaining wall to a small stream. The driver for this work was that ballast was falling into the stream, restricting flow and increasing the risk of flooding. Clearing of the stream was also becoming a regular occurrence, which took considerable time and resources to undertake. PROBLEM SOLVED 220m of asset BaFix 70 and 147 Sleeve-It units, along with handrails, were installed along the edge of the track, increasing track resilience. Once the installation was complete, the ballast was replaced, and cable troughs were reinstated. The associated handrailing was an additional feature of the project, establishing an essential position of safety. ESG The project not only provided an environmental benefit by mitigating the flood risk, but also had a significant social impact. By preventing the loss of ballast into the stream, the project ensured that the train operating companies, commuters, and tourists using the line into Devon and beyond were not negatively affected. This, in turn, contributed to the local economy by maintaining the smooth operation of businesses in the area, thereby reinforcing the project's value and importance.
