Capabilities
Four disciplines, one deliverable: structures that build first time.
Design
Innovative, durable design to TMH7 — post-tensioned decks from 6 m spans to 580 m balanced cantilever mega bridges, for road and rail loading.
Detail
Precision reinforcement detailing, construction-ready. Full SANRAL compliance, 3D modelling and COTO quantities — powered by our own AddoBAR rebar software.
Consult
Expert guidance from feasibility to completion — construction methodology evaluation, hydraulic assessment and specialist structural review.
N2 Wild Coast mega bridges
Three balanced cantilever mega bridges in design on the N2 Wild Coast Toll Highway, Section 21 — BCD is appointed bridge design engineer to V3 Consulting Engineers for SANRAL Southern Region.
In design
Mzamba River Bridge
- Length
- 344 m
- Position
- KM 27.68
- Method
- Balanced cantilever
A major river crossing within the Mzamba Interchange complex, including the R61 and DR08118 overpasses. Three construction methodologies were evaluated — incrementally launched, MSS and balanced cantilever — with hydraulic assessment of the full Mzamba catchment.
In design
Mzimvubu River Bridge
- Length
- 580 m
- Method
- Balanced cantilever
The longest crossing on the Wild Coast route, over a deep river gorge. Balanced cantilever construction eliminates falsework over the river, designed to TMH7 with full geotechnical integration.
In design
Mpahlane River Bridge
- Length
- 213 m
- Method
- Balanced cantilever
A steep valley crossing paired with the Sigidi Road underpass — a compact balanced cantilever structure completing the Wild Coast mega-bridge portfolio alongside Mzamba and Mzimvubu.
