Bridge Bearings

Spencer Bridge Engineering specialises in the inspection and replacement of bridge bearings, delivering both routine maintenance and complex, bespoke solutions for major infrastructure. We work with all bearing types, including custom-designed systems for unique structural configurations.

Recognising the critical role bearings play in bridge performance and longevity, we combine structural assessment, precision engineering, and safe execution to ensure durable outcomes with minimal disruption. Our expertise includes operating in constrained environments—such as live traffic and heritage structures—where tailored temporary works and jacking systems are essential.

We also carry out bearing inspections using in-house access systems, specifically designed to suit each structure’s geometry and operational constraints. This enables safe, thorough inspection and accurate reporting, even in hard-to-reach locations.

Our multidisciplinary team of civil, structural, and MEICA engineers supports every stage of the process—from early contractor involvement (ECI) and feasibility through to installation and commissioning. We work closely with independent design checkers to meet CAT III assurance when required.

All temporary works comply with relevant design standards, supported by robust quality assurance systems tailored to contract-specific requirements. With a proven track record across diverse bridge types, Spencer Bridge Engineering is a trusted partner for delivering bearing solutions to the highest standards of safety, quality, and engineering excellence.
