Overview

This webinar will explore recent project work from the UK which used government innovation funding to develop a set of productised modular components for bridge substructures.

The precast shell units can be used in different configurations to enable the rapid construction of bridge abutments and piers, reducing disruption to road and rail users.

Learn how WSP used digital techniques such as parametric modelling to confirm the viability of the solution for over 1500 different arrangements of span, skew and height and how the solution aligns with WSP’s Future Ready themes.
