Kilkern have undertaken a number emergency repairs on the highway including bridge deck repairs, waterproofing, drain repairs etc all at short notice.
Due to the locations of most of the works being on key commuter routes the works are undertaken at night with the carriageway re-open at the end of each shift to avoid disruption.
The photos below show an example of work undertaken on the M180 due to issues with the structural integrity of the existing bridge deck, Kilkern were instructed to mobilise within 48hrs and commence works replacing the existing bridge deck slabs.
Each slab was saw cut and removed by excavator with a slab bucket attachment, the dowels were then drilled, reinforcement installed and fixed and finally concrete placed all within a single shift each night.
