Abstract
Rochester Bridge consists of two road crossings and a services bridge across the tidal River Medway in Kent, UK. A challenging and comprehensive refurbishment of all three structures was completed safely and on time in 2020, to a very high quality and under budget. Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions were fully offset by a new mixed woodland of 8,000 trees and ongoing routine maintenance has been redesigned to achieve net zero emissions. This paper describes the planning, procurement and delivery of the refurbishment, including its focus on quality, safety, sustainability, minimisation of disruption, ease of future maintenance and promotion of civil engineering.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
