Cowran Estate Services led day-to-day management, engineering and safety for the replacement bridge works in a remote fell environment. Metcalfe held the formal Principal Contractor appointment and I.T. Shaw the installation subcontract; Cowran drove the daily site operation that brought those responsibilities together.
The challenge
Remote access, watercourse interfaces, adverse weather, lifting and a multi-party delivery team required decisive daily coordination, engineering control and safety leadership.
