asset International Structures Ltd were commissioned by consulting engineers RPS and ARUP to design, and civil engineering contractor BAM DRAGADOS to supply in excess of 10,000m2 of asset VSoL retained earth walls for 32no structures for road, rail and river crossings for the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy PPP scheme, which was adopted by Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The scheme comprises of a new motorway from the end of the Gorey Bypass at Clogh to the townland of Scurlockbush, south of Enniscorthy. The scheme also includes a bypass of the N30 to the west of Enniscorthy and a link road to the N80. The realigned route will comprise the provision of approximately 27 km of M11 Mainline, with a standard dual motorway carriageway type. In addition, approximately 8 km of single carriageway will be constructed to bypass Enniscorthy to the west, by linking the existing N11 to the existing N30 and also approximately 4 km of dual carriageway link road will connect the existing N11 / N80 junction north of Enniscorthy to the M11 Mainline.

asset International Structures Ltd were commissioned by consulting engineers Stuart Michael Associates to design, and groundworks contractor Hope & Clay Construction to supply 1 single E66T cut off asset BEBO arch structure, 1 twin E66T cut off asset BEBO arch structure, and 600m2 of asset VSoL retained earth walls and copings for a 400 mixed housing development for Bovis Homes and Persimmon homes, which was adopted by Wokingham Borough Council.

The N17 between Gort and Tuam was opened by the Minister for Transport Shane Ross in 2017. The now four-lane highway links Tuam with Gort and progresses on to Shannon airport. The clearance profile for the new motorway called for a double span asset BEBO Arch Structure – both inner legs of the arches cut down and resting on a support wall between the roadway lanes. The standard asset BEBO E15.5mT fulfilled all the requirements – a beveled end arrangement completed the layout to fit perfectly into the surrounding environment. asset’s BEBO arches were designed and installed as the first State’s “bat bridge” allowing bats and mammals to cross safely near Lady Gregory’s home of Coole Park. As well as asset's BEBO arches aesthetic design complimenting the surrounding environment, the arches also aim to ensure that the lesser horseshoe bats will use the safe access to Kiltartan cave and feeding grounds in Coole Garryland. Mr Ross was one of two Ministers, a Minister of State, a former junior minister, a Senator and a number of councillors at the opening. He described the motorway as a “huge boost” for the western seaboard area.

The underpass provided is part of the Perth Town Lade footway/ cycleway / equestrian route which support the new B9993 Ruthvenfield Link Road. The original design was an asset MultiPlate arch sitting on top of the Lade culvert. During the design process, the underpass’ location moved and is now parallel to, but higher in the embankment than the Lade culvert. With asset’s value engineering input, a closed ring structure is chosen to eliminate the needs of foundation slabs. asset MultiPlate MP200 UnderPass length: 58.25m.

asset MultiPlate MP200 Pipe Arch (length 37.5m) was used on this project. The works comprised of the installation of a corrugated steel segmental culvert below School Road required to carry a conveyor for extracted material from an extension to East Bilney Quarry.
