Observations

Works progressing well repair works have now taken place to the support columns of the Bridge with Stocrete TV308 and TG203 repair mortar for repairing the holes left by the letterbox shutter. Whilst on site I observed the application of StoCrete TF204 fairing coat to the bridge beam exposed ends this application will give further protection to the concrete and imbedded reinforcing steel.
