Amey<\/a> has been awarded the \u00a316m Specialist Bridge Inspection and Maintenance contract (SBIM) for Avonmouth and Severn Bridges by Highways England<\/a><\/h2>\n

As part of the maintenance contract, Amey will become a member of the South West Asset Delivery Community.<\/p>\n

This will ensure the contract provides the best possible value for money and service to its customers through the collaborative network<\/a> with suppliers and other service delivery partners operating on this contract.<\/p>\n

Contract aim<\/h3>\n

The 15-year contract will see Amey manage three major structures from November 2020, each with unique characteristics and structural complexities; the M5 Avonmouth Bridge spanning 1,400m, the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge which comprises of three structures, the Avon Viaduct (2,100m), Cable Stay (948m) and Gwent Viaduct (2,077m) as well as the M48 Severn Bridge, a suspension bridge<\/a>, that covers 1,600m of network and has the second-highest tidal range in the world at 14.5 metres.<\/p>\n

As part of the SBIM contract, Amey will be responsible for the cyclic maintenance, daily structure inspection checks and safety patrols as well as responding to any incidents that impact the structural integrity of the bridges that make up the Avonmouth and Severn Bridges contract.<\/p>\n

In just one day, the M4 Prince of Wales bridge can expect in excess of 35,000 vehicle crossings both ways, making it a vital vein for the economy of the South West and Wales.<\/p>\n

Innovative ways of working<\/h3>\n

Amey\u2019s managing director for transport infrastructure, Peter Anderson<\/a>,\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of our team\u2019s achievement in securing this specialist contract looking after the Avonmouth and Severn Bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmey will bring a wealth of innovative operational solutions and capabilities regarding bridge infrastructure, which has been recognised by Highways England, through our work on the illustrious Forth Road Bridge amongst other structures across the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring our people are safe, our ability to deliver to a high standard and putting the customer at the heart of our operations, guarantees that this approach encompasses Highways England’s imperatives and is a success for both our client and those using the network.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to welcoming our new team to Amey once the contract goes live in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Highways England operations director, Nick Harris, added: \u201cOur roads and bridges are among the safest in the world and partnerships like this will help maintain high standards on the three large bridges in the south-west.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working more closely with our supply chain who carry out maintenance, we will be able to work more effectively, identify innovative ways of working and provide the best possible quality of service to road users<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome Amey to our south-west community and look forward to building a successful, long-term relationship with them, driving improvement and strengthening our regional expertise together.\u201d<\/p>\n
