Case Study: Special Applications

Slipformed Success

Britpave member, Gill Civil Engineering Ltd (GCEL), is carrying out two slipform projects on the A465 Heads of Valley scheme which will turn the whole of the A465 from Abergavenny to Neath into dual carriageway by 2020. The design and construction, on behalf of the Welsh Government, is being carried out by Costain and Atkins.

GCEL were appointed to install the first 1100m out of 4900m of BBS approved concrete barrier. The work involves installation of standard profile concrete barrier, imbedded concrete barrier over 2 no. bridges, concrete barrier with base slab on raised central reserve and under bridges. The work provides logistic challenges as it was spread across different sections miles apart and each section had its own construction detail, which required consistent reconfiguration of the slipform paver and mould. Remaining 3800m of barrier work is currently scheduled to be completed in year 2018-2019.

GCEL were also appointed to slipform 8500m of surface water channel of varying width (600mm, 800mm, 1000mm, and 1100mm) on central reserve and on verge at A465 heads of valley Section 2 project. The work comprises Slip forming V channel and gullies with the inclusion of contraction and expansion joints at regular interval. In order to meet the demand of the scheme’s programme, work will be completed over various site visits between October 2016 to April 2018. This provided logistic challenges as the work in each visit were spread across different sections resulting in stop and start work, repositioning, regular reconfiguration of slip-form paver and mould.
