SPECIAL AWARD: EMERGENCY ENGINEERING

摘要

When the Hammersmith Flyover had to be closed in December 2011 due to serious structural corrosion it looked as if West London was going to be gridlocked for years. The Olympics were less than a year away so a quick solution was needed to keep traffic moving during this critical period and take pressure off commuters and residents. Road salt-induced corrosion had eaten away post tensioning cables to the point the flyover was in danger of collapse. Amey worked on an open book, collaborative basis with Transport for London to get a job that would normally take up to two years to finish done in 23 weeks.
