Infrastructure specialist Balfour Beatty has overseen ones of its more historically intriguing projects, the completed renovation of a structure which dates all the way back from the 18th Century. This structure, known as Tadcaster Bridge, is based in Yorkshire and had been in dire need of repair since December 2015 when violent flooding in the region resulted in part of it being destroyed. Since then, the implementation of works seeking to restore the structure to its original state of glory has been in place with the collaboration and hard work of North Yorkshire County Council. Indeed, whilst old, the structure is a vital necessity in joining the different sides of the region and thus enabling business initiatives and infrastructure in the region such as SMEs in the area to take place and prosper. The council also had the help of Balfour Beatty, who applied their extensive knowledge of how infrastructure works in order to ensure that the bridge was rebuilt safely and effectively to allow for the local economy to benefit the most from its new implementation.
Indeed, David Robinson, acting as the Project Director of this ambitious construction project in the North Yorkshire region, expressed his delight and pride that the company was able to get involved with this initiative. As he explains, the fact that the structure itself was of a grade two listing did not deter Balfour Beatty in the slightest, and the company did their utmost to ensure that it was rebuilt with the attention and respect that it deserved. This included using and applying various materials and methods of reconstruction that would have been in use at the time that the bridge was originally built.
Even through these perhaps more time-consuming methods of building and construction, and with adverse weather conditions and fluctuating water levels to contend with, Balfour Beatty successfully completed the project in a little over a year, and are very pleased that it is now finished and can now finally be used by the excited locals of the North Yorkshire area where the bridge is located.
