We are thrilled to announce the public opening of two remarkable moving bridges in the UK: the Govan to Partick Bridge near Glasgow and the Gull Wing Bridge in Lowestoft. These engineering marvels represent a significant milestone in improving connectivity and fostering stronger community ties on both sides of the rivers they span.

A Collaborative Effort

The fabrication of these bridges was a monumental task, undertaken with precision and expertise in our workshops in Belgium. Each component was meticulously crafted to ensure the highest standards of quality and durability. Once completed, these large sections were transported on flat top barges, navigating waterways with care and precision. The installation process was a testament to modern engineering prowess. Utilizing both land-based and floating cranes, our team worked diligently to position and secure each section of the bridges. This complex operation required coordination, skill, and a commitment to safety, ensuring that every piece was perfectly aligned and securely fastened.

A Proud Achievement

We are immensely proud to see the final works completed and to have played a crucial role in bringing these bridges to life. The Govan to Partick Bridge and the Gull Wing Bridge are not just structures of steel and concrete; they are symbols of progress and unity. They stand as a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration, innovation, and dedication.

Connecting Communities

These bridges will significantly enhance the connectivity between the communities on either side of the rivers. By providing a reliable and efficient means of crossing, they will facilitate easier access to essential services, promote economic growth, and strengthen social bonds. We hope that these bridges will serve as vital links, bringing people closer together and fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

As we celebrate this achievement, we extend our gratitude to everyone involved in this project. From the skilled workers in our Belgian workshops to the engineers and crane operators on-site, this success is a collective effort. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these bridges will have on the communities they serve.
