Recent projects
Sutton Bridge, North Yorkshire, July 2010- Stone Refurbishment was praised for its efficient completion of repair and restoration work on the bridge, which links the towns of Elvington in North Yorkshire and Sutton-on-Derwent in East Riding.
The project had to be completed during a 21-day bridge closure period to minimise disruption for local people. The Grade II listed bridge was damaged during the winter months following a road accident and, at the time, Stone Technical Services carried out emergency repairs to make the bridge safe. However, the bridge also required general restoration and refurbishment of its damaged structure so Stone was given the 21 day period to complete the project, which proved controversial in the local area as the bridge closure affected many local businesses in the two small towns.
The project was carried out manually, due to its delicate structure, with the mainstay of the repair and restoration project involving the erection of a making safe stage to make the bridge structure safe to work on and also the installation of public safety barriers. And, as structural integrity was paramount for Sutton Bridge, specialist stainless steel ties had to be installed to offer long-term protection from the severe conditions often faced by the Grade II- listed bridge.
Stone Technical Services worked alongside East Riding Council, structural engineers Mason Clark from Leeds, York-based historic architects Ferrey and Mennim and Morrison Construction.
During the work, specific periods of time were set aside for pedestrians to freely cross the bridge on foot and, during the middle of the day, a free shuttle bus was provided between the two village halls.
Arrangements were also put in place to allow a number of charity cycle rides and races over the bridge to go ahead as long as the council had advanced warning of their arrival.
Speaking about the recent work, managing director, Dave Stone said, “Sutton Bridge was a very sensitive project as it affected so many local people and businesses. Efficiency and safety were paramount so, working with the other partners on the project, we had to make sure the work was carried out sensitively and delivered on time which, we’re pleased to say, happened and the bridge has now been restored to its former Grade II glory."
