BT
SERVICES SLUNG SUPPORT STRUCTURE, MILBURY HEATH, SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Existing
BT underground service pipes required supporting during remedial
work to an existing retaining wall. The proposed works involved
dismantling the retaining wall, supporting the service pipes
over a 16metre span and installing a new concrete toe which
enabled the wall to be reinstated safely.
TR Services designed and supplied
a simple structure which comprised of two tube and fitting
support towers and a single span structure containing four
aluminium diamond beams.
The service pipes were then
supported every 1 metre via rated strops and mini ratchets
which allowed precise tension adjustment.
