uphold the structure and prevent further corrosion.
- New galvanised I-beams were needed to carry the failing structure.
- Starter bars were drilled and anchored into the existing mass concrete
bases.
- 10mm polysulphide was used between old and new concrete.
- Concrete was shuttered and tremmied to depths of 3.5m below MSL
