Sibelco UgbrookStream Bridge Project
Pedestrian bridge construction supporting stream diversion works for continued ball clay extraction operations.
Supporting Mining Operations
Sibelco required the diversion of Ugbrook Stream to allow continued extraction of high-quality ball clay at the site. As part of the wider scheme, a new pedestrian bridge was needed to maintain access across the diverted watercourse.
Sibelco appointed a dedicated earth-moving contractor to undertake all major excavation and reshaping works for the stream diversion. Kennford Tarmacadam were contracted to deliver the structural and finishing elements associated with the new bridge installation.
Project Coordination:
- • Close coordination with Sibelco's earthworks team
- • Alignment with stream diversion works
- • Integration with new site topography
- • Handover scheduling for bridge lift

Project Outcome
Stakeholder Feedback
“Sibelco were fully satisfied, enabling them to progress their mining operations without delay.”
“Devon County Council were also pleased with the standard of workmanship and the integration of the new pedestrian access.”
The finished bridge provides safe, durable access across the newly diverted stream and supports the long-term operational needs of the site.
