DESIGN APPROACH

The construction requirements and planning are an integral part of the design process for all forms of bridgeworks and H&T develop their designs with buildability foremost in mind. By considering the manner in which a bridge will be built, the design can incorporate appropriate details and structural arrangements to ensure that an efficient structure is achieved. A structure easy to build will result in better quality and a more durable bridge.
