Project : Kingsway Tunnel, Liverpool

Client : Eric Wright / Mersey Travel

Timescale : July – November 2024

Value : £60k

Summary :

As part of the ongoing maintenance of the Kingsway tunnels, the condition of one of the splitter beams was identified as a cause for concern.

A series of surveys were undertaken which identified the need for the installation of a cathodic protection system to address the ongoing corrosion of the reinforced concrete/steel beam.

CPT Ltd were commissioned to provide a detailed specification and JDF RS Ltd provided a quotation to install the cathodic protection system along with concrete repairs to other components within the two tunnels.

Refurbishment :   

JDF RS Limited installed the complex DuoGuard Hybrid Anode system as designed by CPT and undertook additional concrete repairs using Fosroc repair materials.

The project was undertaken during a series of night closures using powered access platforms and was finished in line with programme requirements.
