In addition we are working on a number of prestigious feasibility studies for several footbridges. We have recently won few commissions with St. Helens BC and Warrington BC involving structural design works and undertaking principal bridge inspections and general inspections. More recently we have taken over the asset management of Knowsley MBC under a framework agreement which is generating a healthy sustained workload.
