Abstract

Rochester Bridge consists of two road crossings and a services bridge across the tidal River Medway in Kent, UK. A challenging and comprehensive refurbishment of all three structures was completed safely and on time in 2020, to a very high quality and under budget. Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions were fully offset by a new mixed woodland of 8,000 trees and ongoing routine maintenance has been redesigned to achieve net zero emissions. This paper describes the planning, procurement and delivery of the refurbishment, including its focus on quality, safety, sustainability, minimisation of disruption, ease of future maintenance and promotion of civil engineering.

英国肯特郡罗彻斯特大桥的三个河流交叉点的翻新

罗切斯特桥位于英国肯特郡，由两个十字路口和一座横跨梅德韦潮汐河的服务桥组成。2020年，所有三个结构的全面翻新工作安全、按时完成，质量非常高，且低于预算。此外，8000棵树的新混合林地完全抵消了温室气体排放，并且重新设计了日常维护，以实现净零排放。本文介绍了翻新工程的规划、采购和交付，包括其对质量、安全、可持续发展、尽量减少干扰、便于未来维修和促进土木工程的关注。
