A9 Moy Rail Bridge: Designing for Construction
14:45 - 15:10
- An overview of the new Moy Rail Bridge and the challenges of delivering a major highway structure over an operational railway.
- How the original specimen design was challenged and developed in response to site constraints, improving the bridge geometry and creating a more practical and buildable solution.
- How permanent works, temporary works and construction planning were considered together, including working adjacent to the railway, permanent formwork, crane operations and bridge beam installation.
- How close collaboration between Balfour Beatty, Transport Scotland, Mott MacDonald and Network Rail helped overcome design, construction and assurance challenges, and ultimately shaped the solution.
