ICE Northwest Civil Engineering Award Win
The Seacombe Ferry Terminal Refurbishment Project has received the Medium Project award at the Institute of Civil Engineering (ICE) North West Civil Engineering Awards.
The highly coveted award was awarded to our client Sisk for the value that the high-profile project brought to the area on Merseyside.
Sisk was awarded the multi-million-pound contract for the construction of the new ferry terminal in Liverpool. The major project involved the replacement of the 130-year-old linkspan bridges while working around the challenges of the tidal river and active shipping lanes. Involved in the development was the revamping of the landing stage and booms, replacement of vehicle and passenger bridges, and the construction of a new terminal building.
Adey Steel was heavily involved throughout the project including the design, fabrication, surface finish and assembly of two 50-metre-long span bridges. The bridges were identical truss bridges – one for passengers and one for vehicles, which due to their size, was split into eight sections to overcome transport and restricted access limitations.

Andrew Adey, Managing Director of Adey Steel, said: "We are extremely proud as a company to have had played our part in the refurbishment project by helping to ensure that the Seacombe Ferry continues to operate for another 130 years at least."
