Crisis Meeting in London

I convened a crisis meeting in London on 15th November. William McMorran from consulting architects, McMorran & Gatehouse, identified that the new endplate drawings may well twist the bridge in the opposite direction. As Price & Myers had designed two new end-plates for fabrication it was time to get together and talk about the bridge design and the options which faced us with regards to the end-plates. Price & Myers were represented by Tim Lucas and Ian Fussel.

Tim took us through the chosen geometry of the bridge which resulted in a twist. Discussion was had around the redesigning of the end-plates and the possibility that they might well not suit the purpose. It was agreed that Ian would send me some drawings which would identify the location of three trestles to be built to support the bridge so that the decking would be level. Once the bridge was secured on the trestles P&M would make a visit to design new endplates around the level bridge configuration.
