Best Place to Work - Hull BID Awards

Spencer Bridge Engineering’s Double Win for Union Chain Bridge Project

Spencer Bridge Engineering’s work on the historic Union Chain Bridge earned two prestigious awards in 2024. The project was named Historic Bridge Project of the Year at the New Civil Engineer Bridges Awards and won the CIHT Infrastructure Award, which recognises innovative and resilient engineering solutions that enhance infrastructure.

This iconic structure, which spans the border between England and Scotland, underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, including dismantling, restoration and rebuilding. Ensuring its continued safety and usability for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

Additionally, Spencer Bridge Engineering’s emergency works on the Menai Suspension Bridge was shortlisted in the same Historic Bridge Project of the Year category, further underscoring the team’s expertise and contribution to preserving historic infrastructure.

2024 Galvanizing in Engineering Award

Spencer Bridge Engineering was also honoured with the Galvanizing in Engineering Award by the Galvanisers Association, recognising the team’s exceptional use of galvanized steel in the listed Connel Bridge project in Scotland.

The project involved the installation of a bespoke temporary walkway, comprising over 1,000 components, each individually hot-dip galvanized. This process not only enhanced the walkway's durability and corrosion resistance but also ensured an aesthetically harmonious finish with the historic bridge structure.

At the awards ceremony in London, Harry Towle, Chris Kirkby and Louise Johnson from Spencer Bridge Engineering’s Mechanical Design Team were on hand to accept the award, which was presented in the form of a unique galvanised watering can.

These accolades highlight the continued success and outstanding achievements of Spencer Group and Spencer Bridge Engineering in 2024. We look forward to building on this momentum and furthering our commitment to excellence in all areas of our work.
