Project: Harrow Road Hybrid Parapet Repairs
Works: Contract to remove and replace steel vehicle restraint parapet and concrete repairs

TAG Construction Ltd were contracted to supply and replace approximately 140m of galvanized vehicle restraint parapet, including repairs to the concrete where existing cast-in ferrous metalwork had corroded, damaging surrounding areas. Existing steelwork was removed, the damaged concrete sections were broken out, shuttered and repaired using a C40 concrete incorporating new stainless holding down bolts. This included a detailed survey of existing steelwork lengths and the supply of all materials. Much of the work was carried out at height in conjunction with a rope access platform team. The project was split into two phases with a very tight programme along with additional concrete repairs to other sections of parapet.
