Case Study
Kingsway Bridge - Warrington Cheshire

Bradford Post and Parapet System
ChallengeWarrington Borough Council approached Marshalls
Street Furniture for their assistance in providing
a new post and parapet system on the Kingsway
Bridge. Crossing the River Mersey, which runs
through the centre of Warrington, the bridge is one
of only two that cross the river and is therefore a
busy route for pedestrians and motorists. Originally
built in 1934, the four span bridge underwent a
significant refurbishment and repair programme.
The requirements of the Council were for the new
system to provide a durable, low level containment
solution to segregate a pedestrian walkway from
road traffic, whilst creating a traditional aesthetic
which complemented the surrounding area.
SolutionIn order to meet the project requirements, Marshalls
proposed the use of the Bradford Post and Parapet
system. The Bradford system is a decorative solution
that complements and enhances the traditional
aesthetic of the surrounding environment.
Designed for use on parapet applications which
require low level containment, the Bradford
Post and Parapet system is designed to meet
the requirements of the BS6779: Part 1 ‘Highway
Parapets for bridges and other structures’.
The system was specified in mild steel with
Ferrocast embellishments, which consisted of
Ferrocast posts with decorative Ferrocast caps and
steel panels with Ferrocast detailing. The scheme
was installed at the site by Marshalls’ specialist in
house installation team.
BenefitsThe Bradford Post and Parapet System has provided
not only a durable and aesthetically pleasing
solution, it also allows for maximum visibility, so
pedestrians can enjoy the surrounding landscape in
safety for years to come.
