22 August 2025
Our director Andrew Hodgkinson recently had the opportunity to share key insights from the new 7th issue of The Steel Bridge Group’s Guide P185 “Guidance Notes on Best Practice in Steel Bridge Construction”, with delegates at the NCE Bridges Conference 2025.
Andrew is the author of the guidance note addressing “Design for Operation and Maintenance” included in P185, which features a checklist to help designers address the key O&M issues and priorities identified by UK bridge owners. You can read more about this guidance in his LinkedIn article here.
