At the beginning of 2022 we updated you on how Lifespan had become the leading supplier of resin infused FRP composite bridges in the UK.

The number of bridges we have designed and supplied is now over 40 in the UK with many more to follow in 2023.

 

One of the first of the Lifespan bridges to be installed will be coming up to its 10th anniversary very soon and it looks as good as it did when originally installed and further details on this project will feature in our next Lifespan E-newsletter

 

A recent very exciting development in the capabilities of Lifespan is that we are now able to design, manufacture and supply resin infused FRP bridges that are capable of withstanding vehicle loads of 44Tonnes.

 

Our first project of this kind in the UK is underway after extensive work by the Lifespan team with the Client to provide a far more sustainable, cost effective and durable bridge deck solution than had been traditionally used whilst also reducing the carbon footprint and energy embodiment in the bridge structure.

The first of such Lifespan bridges have recently been delivered to a Client in Cumbria for installation over the coming weeks ahead in perhaps what is one of the most spectacular areas of outstanding natural beauty in England.

 

This is yet another significant step forward in the solutions that we are able to offer to the industry and we are confident that the use of such Lifespans bridges will now develop at an even faster pace over the coming years ahead.
