Replacement Bridge at Ashford Water Treatment Works- Structural Consultancy Services Bettridge Turner and Partners were originally commissioned by Southern Water to carry out an assessment of the strength of the existing access bridge into the wastewater treatment works at Ashford. The assessment showed that the original bridge was not of sufficient strength to carry the fourty-four tonne vehicles currently in operation. The bridge provides the only access into the works and failure would result in the works not being able to function correctly. Therefore Southern Water decided to replace the bridge and Bettridge Turner & Partners were instructed to design a new scheme. As part of the works, a temporary bridge was constructed beside the existing structure for access purposes whilst the old concrete bridge was removed and replaced. Total cost of works - Approximately £2 million
