The Dee Bridge

WORK ON THE REPAIRS TO THE DECKING

The divers repaired the scouring discovered under the footing of the North pier of the Dee Bridge, caused by the river washing gravel etc against the pier and partly undermining the footings over a long period of time. The damage was discovered during a routine inspection. During this work the Railway worked closely with the Environment authorities due to the river being designated a 'Special Area of Conservation'.
(The consultant civil engineers had advised that the damage was not liable to cause problems in its present state but it was advisable to carry out repairs to prevent further deterioration)
Initial work was to drill the bedrock to allow the fixing of rock bolts to secure rock 'gabions' (Metal cages filled with rock) to protect the pier after the repairs are complete. The scouring was rectified by fixing shuttering, then pressure filling with concrete followed by installation of the gabions.
The Railway Bridge over the River Dee has been the subject of intensive maintenance to the piers which sit in the water. Water scour to the bedrock beneath the piers has been fully repaired by filling with concrete.
A 10mph speed limit over the bridge remains as pointing to some of the stonework remains to be done.
