A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme
Huntington, UK
Highways England’s £1.5bn A14, Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme will upgrade 21miles of road to three lanes in both directions, provide a new 17mile bypass around Huntington and construct 34 new bridges.
Over 12,000 Halfen HD lifting anchors were used throughout this project including the 750m-long, 17-span, Great Ouse viaduct. This composite steel and reinforced concrete structure, utilized precast decking units to speed the construction. Through careful design and an innovative approach Halfen were able to give the contractors (Costain and Skanska) substantial savings on the lifting anchors for the thin, large area, precast deck units. These savings included using the HD high capacity anchors both to lift the precast units into place and as fixing points for the major temporary support structures used on the project.
The project won Skanska a regional award for Offsite Project of the Year from Constructing Excellence.
