Bridges that have stood for centuries are now at risk from flooding.

Masonry arch bridges that have needed no significant previous maintenance suffer from two effects:

1. Scour around the foundations and at the downstream banks and revetments.

Structural & Civil Consultants have many years experience with inspections, assessments and design of repairs to masonry bridges with associated supervision of contracts to repair and help protect these preciouss assets.
