SH Structures success at 2010 Structural Steel Design Awards
At a ceremony held at the Imperial War Museum in London SH Structures were awarded a Commendation for A40 Perryn Road Footbridge. The scheme was described by the judges as being ‘a high quality scheme in a very constrained and challenging site’ and was a ‘well considered and executed urban design producing a robust yet elegant solution. Working closely with the client’s professional team of Grimshaw Architects, Hyder Consulting (UK) Ltd and main contractor Carillion Civil Engineering made the project one our more satisfying and enjoyable schemes in recent years.
