The document discusses several infrastructure projects in the UK involving bridge and retaining wall design. It provides details on the structural elements designed, software used, design codes followed, and roles and responsibilities on each project. The projects included bridge assessments, refurbishments, and new designs incorporating concrete, steel, timber and prestressed structures. Design activities involved load calculations, 3D modeling, temporary works planning and site supervision.
This Appendix provides an outline of typical construction methods and plant likely to be used for the main roadworks, structures including bridges, and environmental mitigation works for the AWPR.

The planning and delivery for the new North-West Multi-Modal Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry from concept to handover.
The new multi-modal North-West Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry aims to create a gateway with enhanced connectivity to the north west region. Located at the former Waterside train station, an 1852 Grade B-listed building, the project integrates rail services with local, inter-urban and cross border bus services as well as cycle and walking routes and supports wider regeneration.

The planning and delivery for the new North-West Multi-Modal Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry from concept to handover.
The new multi-modal North-West Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry aims to create a gateway with enhanced connectivity to the north west region. Located at the former Waterside train station, an 1852 Grade B-listed building, the project integrates rail services with local, inter-urban and cross border bus services as well as cycle and walking routes and supports wider regeneration.
The £28m project has received funding from the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) as well as support from the Department for Infrastructure (NI), Department Transport, Tourism and Sport (Ireland) as well as Derry City and Strabane Council.
The first phase of the project, completed in October 2019 includes 1.8km of new railway track, signaling systems, new platforms and canopies as well as the re-development and restoration of the listed building and links to the city Greenway.
Phase two of the project which comprised a new Park and Ride facility, bus turning facilities and public realm space was completed in November 2020.
The event gave an insight to the challenges of planning and delivery of a complex multi-disciplinary transport project, including the restoration of a listed building.

CSR Consultant and Associates are Licensed Structural audit for Municipal Corporations, providing audit report, Budgeted repair solutions, Tendering, Supervision, Quality checks, Bills verification to project completion.
Housing Societies FAQ’s....
1. WHY DOES THE SOCIETY NEED a PMC consultant like CSR?
Every society has got their unique Civil repair problems, demanding very specific technical feasible solution. Therefore, Societies need to have technical assistance who has enormous experience in the Civil Engineering field. CSR comes in handy for drawing technical solutions.
2. WHY CANNOT THE CONTRACTORS DIRECTLY GIVE ESTIMATES & QUOTATIONS AS PER OBSERVATIONS?
Grabbing estimates and quotations from various contractors would be time consuming and tedious task while comparing. To get the competition on single platform, one needs to ink out basic fundamental requirements of the society that shall comprise External and Internal health of society. It may not be feasible to ask all the contractors to visit every single owners property. CSR Engineers can professionally assist you to develop a Technical Tender document as per your specific needs, for selection of right Contractor.
3. WHY CANNOT THE SOCIETY MEMBERS CAN SUPERVISE WORK IN PROGRESS ? :
Most of the members may be qualified in their respective fields. But do they have full time experience with the Civil repair industry? Are they aware of the Industry standards? Are they aware of the Civil Engineering methods? Can they devote time on daily basis? Are they equipped to face unforeseen circumstances?
4. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF APPOINTING CSR as project Management Consultant?
Being a professional third party, society members can be rest assured to have impartial decisions. A professional guidance can help avoid conflicts or show stoppers to get going.
5. BUT, Consultants like CSR Engineers SERVICES WILL JUST ADD TO THE COST?
Civil Structural audit Engineering companies like CSR Consultant and Associates; supports right from audit, budgeting with optional benefits, assist to freeze scope of work, tender preparation, tender issues, selection of contractor, progress of work, balance sheet of project and final closure report. Secondly, CSR services shall save ‘n’ times the total CSR’s service cost; inculcating technical knowledge, time track, minimizing of unnecessary work, justified usage of society fund and peace of mind.
6. BUT WHY ARE THESE CONSULTANCY SERVICES COSTING MORE THAN OTHERS?
Civil repairs are never done year after year. It demands efforts, dedication, technical team backups, focus and attention towards each projects undertaken and most important – the knowhow for economical methods. Professional services never come at cheap price. Structural audit with Project Management Consultancy (PMC) led by a team of professional engineers, ensure timely deliveries TO THE BEST OF THE ABILITIES.
Alberta Transportation's First Design-Build (DB) Project - Stony Plain Road I...AamerShakoor
Alberta Transportation (TRANS) developed a new Design-Build (DB) project delivery framework to complement its traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery mechanism and the successful Public-Private-Partnership (P3) or Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) delivery process. The new DB process incorporated all benefits and efficiencies of the P3 process as well as the rigorous quality assurance procedures of the DBB contracts. TRANS successfully implemented the DB process on a systems interchange at Anthony Henday Drive (AHD) and Stony Plain Road (SPR)/100 Avenue in Edmonton. The DB process provided substantial cost savings over the DBB approach and also allowed the interchange to be opened to traffic one year earlier on November 4, 2011.

6. Salford Meadows International Footbridge Design Competition
I took part in the international RIBA competition for the design of a new pedestrian bridge
across the River Irwell led by Salford City Council.
My team of 4 engineers developed a conceptual design of underslung cable truss bridge.
Out of 203 submissions our design reached Stage 2, the short listed four submissions.
The submission can still be viewed on RIBA Competition web site

7.
8. Design activities:
•Attended 3 day Lusas training course
•Undertaken an Initial dynamic analysis of behaviour of the structure to the moving and
pulsating pedestrian load
•I understood the basics of dynamic analysis.
•The bridge designed to carry 5kN/m2 crowd loading.
•The acceleration comfort criteria of the UK National Annex to Eurocode 1991-2
The following Engineering analysis work undertaken at competition stage.
I have created a 3D model of the bridge and completed preliminary static structural analysis
at Stages 1 of the competition, considering all the relevant load effects.
At Stage 2, I have additionally completed a preliminary dynamic analysis of the main span.
Several modes of the bridge had frequencies requiring further detailed consideration. For
these, I have undertaken a detailed time-history analysis, which showed that the bridge deck
accelerations satisfy the pedestrian comfort criteria.
9. Lancashire Bridge Assessment

survey and covemeter scan for reinforcement location)
• I produced Site Inspections method statements
• Produced a 3D space frame model using SuperSTRESS

11. • Bridge Assessment proved that the structure
can stand on its own but it is not able to
support any live loading including pedestrians.
•I have produced Assessment Report
recommending demolition of the bridge.
•Shortly after the Report, Stockport Council
decided to close the bridge for the traffic and
soon after that the bridge has been
demolished.
12. Marsh House Bridge
I have undertaken an initial hand calculation design of an abutment of a single leaf lifting
bridge carrying Marsh House Lane over the disused St Helen’s Canal. The deck was
hinged on the south side with hydraulic machinery in the designed box.
