Advanced composites
Strategic consultancy services on the use of advanced materials technology to strengthen or replace bridges or highway structures, including business case and whole life cost analysis.
We provide innovative analysis and design in terms of strengthening existing bridges using carbon fibre composites. We design replacement schemes for bridges using glass or carbon fibre composites.
We also offer business case analysis and whole-life cycle analysis to show benefits of the technology over conventional technology.
Benefits include reduced capital and whole-life costs for strengthening and new-build schemes. Improved health and safety on site due to lightness of the material. Less disruption, fast and easy installation, reduced craneage costs, reduced maintenance and whole-life costs, improved durability.
Mouchel is the market leader in Fibre-Reinforced Composite bridges and has designed more bridges of this type in the UK than any other company. The skill we have developed represents a construction product breakthrough and is a truly innovative solution for stronger, lighter, quicker and safer construction.
