To achieve the desired effect, the precast edge beam would need to be of suf?cient size and shape to rest on the brick/block edging of the embankment without being unstable. In addition, the sides of each unit would need to be slightly tapered to acmodate the radii of the bends, and the parapet support post bolt cradle would need to be preinstalled at the correct spacing. Team work between the designer and contractor led to a reduction in the number of panel types from 30 to 17, ranging in length from a maximum of 398 m, while keeping the parapet posts at a constant spacing along the main length of the embankments (Fig. 9). The precast units were tied together by means of an in situ element. This prised a slab extending the entire length of the embankments from the bankseats to the end of the parapet units. The slab was cast continuously, without joints, so that it acted as a beam. The slab was designed with a toe, which, together with friction, counteracts the lateral forces from accidental loading of the parapet posts while the overturning forces of any impact are countered by the weight and cantilever effect of the continuous slab. The P2 support sections were placed and levelled to give apleasing sweep and elevation to the bridge while a tail on the PCC unit was included to hide the top of the brickwork wall, ensuring a neat appearance was achieved. 6. TEAM WORKIN One of the most pleasing aspects of the scheme was the goodworking relationship that was maintained between all parties. Although working under the General Conditions of Contract for Building and Civil Engineering GC/works/1,2the contractor was keen to espouse the ethics of partnering. Regular meetingsbetween the contractor, designer, client’s engineer and client’s architect took place to keep all parties informed of the latest developments and to deal with concerns before they became a distraction. Communications, channelled through the contractor, between interested third parties, such as Railtrack and NSDC, were also well managed, which ensured that possessions were granted as requested and adoption requirements were dealt with swiftly. This approach was key to meeting the tight construction deadline and in dealing with the minor omissions found in the tender design in a professional manner. It is a credit to the contractor that this was maintained throughout the period of the contract. 7. SUMMARY Locking Castle Bridge is based on a modern and innovative design which, along with its appearance (Fig. 10), bene?ts the local environment and provides a focal point for the new residential development. The creation of a park adjacent to the southern embankment will enhance the status and appearance of the bridge in years to e and provide a sense of pride forall those involved in the construction of Locking Castle Bridge.
