New Wear Footbridge welcome students from the Institute of Concrete Structures at Technisches Universität
Our team on the New Wear Footbridge recently welcomed students from the Institute of Concrete Structures at Technisches Universität, Dresden to the site.
The group, which included twenty students, three research assistants and a professor, were on a twelve day tour of bridges throughout northern England, Scotland and Wales.
The students were given a presentation from our senior engineer whilst our project manager gave an overview of the Gateshead Millenium Bridge and Northumbria University Footbridge, followed by a site visit to the north compound at Riverside Sunderland. The students enjoyed lunch trying a local regional delicacy - ham and pease pudding sandwiches!
The VolkerStevin team received great praise from the students, remarking that it was the best visit they have had so far.
