Loko Oweto Bridges – Completion of Construction
The construction of the Loko Oweto bridges across the Benue river in Nigeria was recently completed and will be open to traffic once the approach roads are finished.
The Bridges, 1,835 meter long each, were designed by Kedmor for RCC Nigeria who constructed the Bridges.
We wish to thank all of our partners and friends in RCC and SBI International and the soil consultant Israel Klar for a job well done.

A railroad over-crossing bridge adjacent to a communication facility (which is the origin of the name) is located east of the city of Acre.
The bridge provides a way of access to an industrial park developed nearby.

We recently held an interesting CPD seminar at our offices, on bridge tension-cable grouting, from industry expert Alex Poliakov.
He presented examples of grouting and tension-cable failure from around the world and advised on best-practice methods, to mitigate these issues.
Thank you, Alex!

We presented papers at two conferences in Guimaraes, Portugal last month.
The first, was the final conference of the TU1406 COST Action Group. This is a part of a special study programme, funded by the EU, with the objective of encouraging collaboration between academics and practical designers. Amir Kedar has acted as Moderator for Study Panel 6, which presented papers and case-studies of how the quality control of existing bridges is performed outside Europe.
The second was the IABSE Symposium 2019, where Micha Petri presented his paper on the design of the Loko Oweto Bridge in Nigeria and Amir presented his work with the Cost Action Group.
