Helifix SockFix Anchors – Kay Street Bridge

Works have begun on Kay Street Bridge, a road bridge in Ramsbottom which is being widened to create a pedestrian footpath. Substantial stabilisation works are required to allow this extension of the bridge to be successful.

Part of these stabilisation works involved the installation of Helifix SockFix Anchors.

SUKR were appointed to undertake these works. Core drilling was carried out using specialist mining cores specifically manufactured for this job to allow horizontal drilling to a depth of 3m.

The SockFix Anchors were then installed to a depth of 3m, leaving 1.5m protruding for the Client to then cast around, ensuring the new extended area of the bridge will be strengthened by these.
