Swanswell Viaduct, Coventry
The Project
The project is part of a 4-stage development on the Swanswell viaduct section of the Coventry ring road and formed part of a multi-million pound refurbishment to Coventry’s infrastructure.
Jackson Civil Engineering were the principal contractor for these works and Sage’s involvement included the installation of an 8mm Trespa Meteon fascia panel system to the operational ring road.
With careful planning and co-ordination with Jackson Civil Engineering, we were able to successfully deliver the project and are proud to have been part of the team, who improved a vital infrastructure asset on behalf of Coventry City Council.
