Diary
Each group is required to keep a combined diary. Each group member is required to contribute to the diary and provide explanation of the investigation, research and development of the bridge type conceptual design. This builds and demonstrates professionalism within individual and team working environments.
Conceptual development
As a group you are required to develop conceptual design indicating structural form and highlighting critical dimensions dimensions. You are encouraged to develop hand drawings and sketches which you will later develop into a 3D digital building information model (BIM) for visualisations of your bridge concept. You will explore diferant construction methods, by comparing on-site vs off-site delivery, affecting health, safety and sustainability.
Production information
Each group must prepare ‘production information’, i.e. fully dimensioned drawings that can be used to construct the models. Consideration must be given to buildability and the use of the materials and tools provided.
Model construction
Each group is required to construct a 1:76 scale model of their final design. The model will be constructed on a suitable base board. Prior to commencing construction, each group is required to demonstrate that they have marked out the position of the structure and associated abutments – this will simulate the engineering surveying that would be undertaken to position the bridge if it was actually being constructed.
Final presentation
Each group is required to provide a final presentation demonstrating the logic behind their concept development, the input of each individual group member and present the production information generated during the progress, i.e. the drawings and 3-D vizualisations.
Inspection and testing
Each bridge model will be examined, inspected and graded by external structural and civil engineers. A selection of the bridge types will then be tested to destruction to determine their ultimate load capacity.

LO1: Gain an appreciation of dimensional spatial planning data in relation to civil and structural engineering infrastructure.
LO2: Recognise the importance of detailed engineering drawings in the delivery of projects. LO3: Collect various resources to allow decisions to be made in relation to structural form and contribution to conceptual design.
LO4: Develop an awareness of the integration of structural elements including the effects of construction method of delivery on-site vs off-site construction affecting health, safety and sustainability considerations in the full scale project.
LO5: Recognise the importance of teamwork, group dynamics and a professional approach to the delivery of projects.
