The Balfour Beatty VINCI joint venture team working on the M4 Junction 3-12 upgrade recently carried out their first collaborative training programme - featuring the UK's largest steel model bridge.The first of its kind in the UK, the 18-metre model footbridge shares characteristics with the new Thames Bray Bridge in Maidenhead, one of 11 bridges being installed as part of the M4 upgrade between London and Reading.The model structure provided 17 apprentices, split across several teams, with the opportunity to learn and apply skills involved in project management, focusing on safety, scheduling, costing, quality, construction methods and the building process.Run in collaboration with National Highways, the Arcadis Jacobs joint venture [AJJV] and BAM Construction Training, the comprehensive training programme was spread over six weeks, with a further 10 days dedicated to the construction methodology and ultimately the bridge build. |
