In the shadow of The Shard a new 400-metre steel viaduct incorporating a 70-metre railway bridge was installed by Skanska in 2012 for Network Rail to ease train congestion and increase the flow of trains through nearby London Bridge station. 
This was a very challenging project that utilised Spanwall RF50-FR panel in 1.2mm VM Zinc quartz. 


These panels were folded and then using a method designed by Spanwall, curved over their height to create a smooth convex panel. 


Once these panels were curved, they were then treated with an anti-graffiti layer to achieve a uniform protective coating. The installation was carried out by Cambridge based Delta Fabrications and when completed it has provided a striking organic look.
