Allerton Steel has completed installation of Kepax Bridge - Worcester
We were appointed by the main contractor to take over the installation after the previous fabrication company sadly went into administration in March.
Our responsibility was to install six deck panels; each panel is 12m long x 5m wide and weighs 13 tonnes. A massive 1000 Tonne crane fitted with the 84m luffing jib was required to lift the final deck section in at a 78m lift radius over the River Severn.
Operating from modern workshops with over 4500sq/m (50,000sq/ft) capacity. The workshops offer a lift capacity up to 60 tonnes and are equipped with modern plant and machinery including semi-automatic welding, CNC operated profile, saw, drilling and milling machines. Additionally, we have a 3D modelling and surveying system to assist with complex fabrications and inspection.
