The Importance of Like for Like Parapet Repairs

According to the Specification for Highways Works (MCHW, Series 400), components used in parapet repairs must match the performance characteristics of the existing parapet.

However, an estimated 70-80% of parapets currently on the network pre-date the current BS EN 1317 European standard. These legacy systems often involve bespoke designs tailored to specific bridge structures, using materials and construction methods that may no longer be standard.

As a result, these older parapets present unique challenges in maintenance and repair and require careful consideration to ensure compliance with these requirements.

During the webinar, you will gain insight into why the like for like repair of legacy parapets is important, who is responsible for it and how this can be achieved to ensure safety, compatibility, and compliance with current standards.
