Forth Estuary

Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA)

Forth Estuary Contract detail: Northbound Carriageway (completed Oct 2007)
Value: £4m
Duration: 18 weekends in two work phases
Southbound Carriageway (completed Oct 2004)
Value: £3.24m
Duration: 18 weekends in two work phases

FETA's Project Brief was to avoid carriageway occupation during weekdays and the peak holiday period. To maintain flows of weekday traffic the Works had to be completed in two phases during a series of weekend carriageway possessions.

Possessions were not permitted during the peak holiday period and therefore Phase 1 was completed between April and June with Phase 2 completed during September and October. The Contract required the removal of the bridge deck's surfacing and waterproofing. Any identified remedial works were then undertaken to the steel and concrete decks prior to the application of new spray applied waterproofing membrane and hand laid mastic asphalt surfacing impregnated with pre-coated chippings.
