The Silver Jubilee Bridge over the River Mersey, between Runcorn and Widnes in the UK, carries over 80,000 vehicles every day. Not only is the bridge in constant use as a busy highway, but it’s also an important heritage listed structure and is currently undergoing necessary refurbishment. In order to halt the rebar corrosion in the concrete deck slab, Protector's CASSETTE CP system is being installed on the soffits. This innovative, patented “clamp on” system includes a Titanium - Glasswool-and Glassfibre cassette system and is first installed as a trial on this structure and will be monitored and adjusted remotely. The on-site installation is being carried out by Balvac LTD, Redhill, Surrey, England. The project consultant is Mott MacDonald and the client is Halton Borough Council.
