How’s this for ingenious? HOCHTIEF’s groundbreaking bridge slide method pioneered on the A38 Marsh Mills slip road replacement at Plymouth. New elevated slip roads were constructed on temporary supports while traffic used the old carriageway alongside. Our method has since been adopted by other contractors.

Solving seemingly insurmountable problems is what HOCHTIEF does. We deliver multi-award-winning, innovative projects in bridge replacement and construction, from complex slides over rail lines to the jacking of the largest concrete box in Europe.
