Landscaping & External Works Timber Bridges and Boardwalks at Aberfeldy Village, Tower Hamlets CTS Bridges Ltd are supplying bridges and boardwalks at the new Aberfeldy Village in Tower Hamlets. The £250m redevelopment project will be delivered in 6 phases incorporating different buildings with their own identity to link community and urban spaces. The scheme incorporates a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) of green landscaped buffer rainwater runoff from the new development. CTS were commissioned by Willmott Dixon to provide a number of boardwalk and bridge structures to aesthetically enhance and create pedestrian routes across these areas. CTS supplied the bridges and boardwalks in Ekki hardwood timber with FSC accreditation. The Ekki timber is classed as extremely durable and has a service life in excess of 30 years. The deck boards on the bridges and boardwalks incorporate CTS’s Hi-Grip Excel non-slip inserts that provide a hard wearing slip resistant surface that retains the natural feature of the timber. Lighting was incorporated into the parapets to provide additional safety. CTS specialise in the design, manufacture and installation of high quality bridges, boardwalks and bespoke landscape structures that can enhance any urban regeneration scheme.
