On the Cotswold Canals Connected restoration we have had three brick-arched bridges in need of repair. These bridges date from the 1780's through to the 1840's and, in most cases, the elevation of the arch ring has separated from the arch barrel. In addition, areas of vertical cracking is visible in the parapet and spandrel walls. After a comprehensive engineering assessment, the areas for repair were identified and items were purchased as required from Twistfix. The repair work is being carried out by a team of experienced volunteers under appropriate supervision. A pattern of Structural Repair Ties are being drilled and inserted into the arch ring, and Crack Stitching Bars are being let into the parapet and spandrel walls.
The ordering and supply of the required items from Twistfix has been exemplary, with delivery often occuring the next day. Additionally, when some items were lost in the delivery system, replacements were dispatched without fuss.
