The opportunity

Amey has one of the strongest long span bridges teams in the UK entrusted with looking after some of the most complex suspension and cable stayed bridges across the country. Our team is currently working on a wide range of studies, investigations, inspections, assessments, repairs, renewals, and enhancements on major bridges at Severn, Prince of Wales and Avonmouth. In addition to the complex engineering involved our team lead the market in 'smart' bridges, using asset management systems, structural health monitoring, advanced data analytics, and automation to create self-monitoring smart bridges which learn from their own data and issue alerts to the team looking after them. We integrate this technology into the bridges and provide our clients with greatly needed enhanced reassurance and resilience for such critical assets.
