Carillion; Butterfly Arch Bespoke Bridge
CTS were appointed to design, manufacture and install the attractive bespoke footbridge in the busy and restricted city centre location of Piccadilly, Manchester
From initial architectural concept drawings, CTS developed the bridge design to maintain both aesthetic intent and buildability.
Installation appropriate to the inner city location was the governing parameter in the bridge’s design; resulting in a tied arch solution being derived to ensure safe and fast installation in a single lifting operation due to its location, over a main road and next to a train line.
