What is being bought
Design and supply of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bridges - Roadbridges suitable for 44Tonnes Highways Loading plus supply and design of footbridges, cycleways, bridleways and bridge decking solutions suitable for highways loading (up to 44 Tonnes). The manufacturing process should use the resin infusion technique with a mould. This allows arrangement of fibres at different orientations to ensure maximum performance and if required fibre and resin types can be altered to suit a particular application. Foam core should also be used between the top mat and bottom mat for structural efficiency. Ideally constructed using a proven monolithic FRP system (e.g. InfraCore or equivalent) with vacuum infusion method. This type of construction has a low maintenance requirement and subsequently features a long design life. Elements of the bridge structures will have an expected design life of: - Deck - 100+ years - Surfacing 10+ years - Parapets 30+ years - UV protection 60+ years Also be able to design such bridges and provide outline proposals and detailed costings. Most structures we require will need bespoke designs. Typical projects expected to range between £50k–£250k per bridge, depending on size and specification Be able to manufacture and supply a bridge within a short timeframe up to 3 months.

    We are looking for suppliers that have the expertise to design, manufacture and supply FRP bridges. Due to site constraints the bridge deck must be of light weight construction to enable its installation without the use of cranes. Suppliers should express interest by emailing Claire Hodges at commercial.services@forestryengland.uk Interested suppliers are invited to provide information on their capability, relevant experience, and indicative lead times.
