CWAI are chiefly bridge designers and manufacturers
We send out kits and assembled bridges for others to install
However our massively experienced team have built many bridges over decades and still occasionally build one today (they get bored very easily)
We offer the following thoughts
Building a bridge is not a small undertaking.
Foundations will be needed for the bridge to be fastened down to
Legal consents and approvals are usually required
There are ecological issues which are mandatory legal requirements and need to be addressed
When we take on a project we use the services of Donbass Limited. They secure the neccesary consents and manage the issues around Foundations
Once these demanding issues containing many potential pitfalls have been negotiated the question of Construction Management arises
A Risk Assessment is the starting point and a Method Statement follows. If a bridge is to be lifted in a Lift Plan is Best Pracrice .
Only then can work begin.
The CDM Regulations require certain minimum standards and set out in Codes which have the force of law how these Standard are to be observed
There is a Legal Duty of Care on The Employer. This is not widely understood.
The key point (but not the only one) is to appoint a Competent Contractor
