01 WESTBOURNE TERRACE AND WARWICK AVENUE BRIDGES These two bridges cross the Grand Union Canal near Paddington, an area with a very active community of canal users. Using Community Infrastructure Levy funding, FM Conway undertook a programme of repairs to the two heritage structures that included refurbishing pillars and railings, installing pigeon deterrents on the soffits and pillars, anti- corrosion works to the railings and soffits, electrical upgrade work, deep cleaning and applying anti-graffiti coverings. All materials had to be approved by heritage bodies and, as the team was working over and on the canal, they had to ensure that no contaminants entered the water. over the River Thames to erecting hoardings to prevent unwanted access. Here is a snapshot of some of the work undertaken by the team in the last 12 months. FM Conway has an eight-year contract with Westminster City Council for bridge and structures maintenance management and improvement. This includes both planned and reactive maintenance of a vast range of structures – from repairs to iconic bridges
