Over the last few years M G Bennett & Associates Ltd has acquired a highly respected profile within the engineering world for its involvement in bridges and moving bridges. This inspired Bennett Associates to put together a team of engineers with considerable knowledge and experience with a view to exchange information on their varied bridge projects.
Nick Cooper, BSc CEng, and Managing Director of Bennett Associates leads the highly qualified bridge team. Nick is primarily known for his detailed design of the operating and rotating mechanism of the complex wheel structure and mechanical interfaces for the Falkirk Wheel, the world’s first rotating boatlift. Bennett Associates was awarded the Structural Steel Design Award for 2002, for its involvement with the Falkirk Wheel.
The Bennett Associates Bridge Team consists of:
|
Dr Chris Bird, BSc MEng PhD CEng |
|
Richard Burgess, MA MEng |
|
Michael Thorogood, MEng |
Generally clients know what kind of structure they want but do not possess the necessary in-house mechanical expertise to design or specify the machinery and control systems needed for movable structures. This is where Bennett Associates comes to the fore with its experienced team of mechanical engineers. If you are considering a moving/moveable bridge or structure then contact Bennett Associates Bridge Team as early as possible and include them in the design process to ensure that the structure is both reliable and maintenance friendly.
