STAINLESS STEEL BRIDGE AT TEMPLE QUAY, BRISTOL

Fabricated completely from stainless steel, the bridge was installed in July and will open to the public in August.

Specialist architectural metalworking company m-tec, a division of WEC Group Ltd, were chosen to fabricate the 60 metre structure. Weighing approximately 75 tonnes, the bridge is one of the most impressive structures of its kind in the UK.

The bridge was made in 8 sections and delivered to site where it was constructed and installed. Lifting the bridge over the river was an impressive sight, as one of the largest cranes in Europe was tasked with lifting the bridge into place. With the bridge at its centre point over the water and suspended by the crane, the weight was approximately 1,500 tonnes!

The stainless steel bridge is a small part of a multi-million pound development in the Temple Quay area of Bristol and m-tec are proud to be part of such an ambitious project.
