Aarsleff and UK onshore wind farm market
Aarsleff Piling has been successful with its alternative bid to install over 700 precast concrete piles for three onshore wind farms in the Fenlands of East Anglia.
Aarsleff will install about 2,400 precast concrete piles ranging in length from 7m to 23m in two separate visits to the site.
The vast majority of the 300mm square section piles, which will accommodate working loads of 1020kN, will be installed in the first visit starting in March.
The second visit to complete the piling is scheduled for November 2007.
Each pile will be individually capped to support a geotextile mattress and the overlaying earthworks approach embankments.
The new bridge is part of the Highways Agency's A27 Southerham to Beddingham improvement scheme and will replace an automatically operated level crossing barrier at Beddingham.
Alfred McAlpine, in conjunction with consulting engineer Jacobs Babtie, have combined to carryout the detailed design and construction of the GBP57M project for the Highways Agency.
The main civil works started in October 2006 and scheduled to be completed by summer 2008.
