New Projects Northwood Bridge MR61 Constructionline

October 2014
Northwood Bridge MR61
Livis were awarded this project to renew a bridge
approach access road to MR61 Northwood Bridge.
The site is very restricted with access through a
residential area onto the Victorian brick arched
bridge which was extended several decades ago.
The site is adjacent to the busy Metropolitan Line.
The extension has subsequently moved and needs
urgent replacement. Our construction works
involved the erection of access / protection scaffold,
erected during engineering shifts, for the removal of
the existing brick work parapet walls. Following which the existing road surface has
had to be removed and a piling mat installed for the installation of bored piles.
All plant has had to be specifically sized due to the restrictions of the site. The
remaining works include the parapet wall extended brick work toe to be removed to
under side of new road slab in preparation to install a reinforced concrete slab.
When completed new reinforced concrete parapet walls will be constructed prior to
the new HRA road surfacing laid to complete the reinstatement.

Bond Street - Livis Safety Barrier System
Livis undertook the installation of the Livis
Safety Barrier System at Bond Street
earlier this year. The barrier was installed
during a possession on both platforms of
the Jubilee line. The barrier will be in
place at Bond Street for up to 5 months,
allowing Costain Laing O’Rourke JV
(CoLOR) to undertake their upgrade
works 24/7.
As the barrier is in place for so long, it has been fixed to the platform surface with bolts
and brackets, rather than using the vacuum system. Weekly visual inspections are
carried out along with monthly maintenance visits to check performance.
