New Upper Forth Crossing Access Jetties
Project Summary
Briggs Marine Contractors constructed two steelwork jetties to facilitate marine operations at a new road bridge crossing on the Rover Forth. The jetties were located on either side of the river and measured 32m and 170m long.
Our Work
The works principally involved driving of tubular piles and installing a suspended deck. Briggs were responsible for all temporary works, piling operations, fabrication and installation
North Jetty
- 12No. 752 x 17.5 Bearing Piles @ 26m long
- 8No. 752 x 12.5 Mooring Piles @ 26m long
- L606 Sheet Pile Decking - 60 tonnes
South Jetty
- 24No. 805 x 26.1 Bearing Piles @ 32m long
- 28No. 666 x 25.4 Bearing Piles @ 32m long
- L606 Sheet Pile Decking - 275 tonnes
Result
Due to concurrent project activities and other contractor operations Briggs had to work towards extremely tight deadlines and with restricted access on the South Jetty due to working within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and on the North Jetty we were working adjacent to Scottish Power property.
