英国军方在英国灾难期间定期向紧急服务部门提供援助。自1852年正式成立以来，皇家工程师团已经建造了数百座桥梁，以帮助世界各地的民间社区，但沃金顿的桥梁是不寻常的权宜之计。该团队在德文特河上建造了一座跨度为52米的人行桥，在13天内将一个格林菲尔德工地改造成了一个工作渡口。本文阐述了在设计过程中面临的一些困难，并强调如何熟悉设备和并行的设计和施工活动导致在如此短的时间内成功安装的跨越。
The British military routinely provides assistance to the emergency services during UK disasters. Since it was officially established in 1852, The Corps of Royal Engineers has constructed hundreds of bridges to aid civil communities worldwide, but the bridge at Workington was unusual in its expediency. The team delivered a 52 m span footbridge across the River Derwent, converting a greenfield site into a working crossing within 13 days. This paper illustrates some of the difficulties faced during the design, and highlights how familiarity with the equipment and concurrency of design and construction activities resulted in successful installation of the crossing in such a short time-frame.
