The brief
A cable-stayed pedestrian bridge lifted into place in a single weekend river closure. Hull City Council needed a fixed completion date and a contractor willing to hold it.
How we built it
We modelled the full 13 months programme before breaking ground and agreed every long-lead package in the first eight weeks. Structure and envelope ran in overlapping zones so the building was watertight well before fit-out began.
The result
Handed over in 2023 on the agreed date and within the £9m contract sum, with no lost-time incidents on site and a defects list closed inside four weeks.
