Thanks for that, some great info there going forward.
I would say they are ready for sequence no. 4 would you say?
Certainly close to that stage id say. Theres still quite a bit of rebar sticking up so maybee some more shuttering and concrete pours to build it up higher.
I know its just I cannot see that foundation base getting much higher if you compare it to the drawing - the re-bar that sticking up makes it a much higher base if thats all going to be poured and shuttered

Unrelated question, but what’s happening with them apartments wrapped with that purple stuff on the southside of the water (first photo)? Heard the contractor for them went bust?
The support pillars will be built to the height of the bridge surely. With concrete?
tolent went bust, then wates couldnt agree with the council to complete for the price they wanted - council are now going to complete the job by themselves, when its going to start up again is the million dollar question
Tolent did go iirc they were building over there.
wouldnt think so - thats what im saying, if you look at the drawings the support legs will be steelwork fitted to the foundation
Just been past the Durham riverside job Tolent went bust on. Still not open. Ive heard theres massive problems with the fire stopping on there.

I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that it's not due to be opened until summer next year. Plenty time to get it right seeing as they came up with a technique that is a world first
Ahh so its steelwork on the pillars, with you now.

Ah right, cheers lads. Hopefully gets sorted out soon as
Just looking on here and it looks like concrete all the way to the bridge platform.

Aye Bridge due to be open summer 2025 (ready for women's rugby I'd imagine)
you might be right, however I wouldnt thought they would be poured on site - I would expect them to be re-cast and dropped in
*Might be completely wrong like! Im sounding like some wanna be bridge engineer
