Adur Ferry Footbridge is an impressive new structure with a 50-metre rotating central span, accommodating pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair/mobility scooter users. This opened in 2013, replacing the previous narrow concrete footbridge built in the 1920s.
BSS worked with project leaders, Osborne, on this project, and we provided steel bracing to maintain the old bridge for traffic during the early stage of works on the replacement. We also supplied various other on-site services, including extensive welding, cutting, and fabrication.
Our steel fabrication services were called upon to create both permanent and temporary platforms for piling rigs, and for access to all the main monopiles, including that supporting the central section. Our team also created the navigation light support brackets, and assisted with the manufacturing and installation of the stainless-steel balustrades.
BSS is proud to have been involved in the creation of this iconic local landmark, partnering with project leaders and using communication, timely steel fabrication, and fast delivery to get the job done safely and on time.
