  • Scaffolding the bridge starts by reversing the conventional 'ground-up' approach. The evident complexity of the bridge, built with more curves than angles, means that every scaffolding member has to be individually designed, fabricated and suspended in position high above the Forth. Access platforms then have to be encapsulated in plastic sheeting, to prevent old lead paint being shot-blasted into the environment, and to protect the new, glass flake epoxy paint from the weather while it dries. The bridge is well over a hundred years old, but it takes 21st century technology and expertise to keep it in safe use, making SGB's experience on live industrial maintenance invaluable.

    Can't believe this is being done again thought the epoxy when it was done last was supposed to last 25yrs it was blasted back to bare steel first time ever
