Tony Gee and Partners

Tony Gee boasts an impressive over-50-year history in design engineering consultancy. The business started in 1974 with the creation of jacking systems for North Sea oil rigs and pre-stressing systems for segmental balanced cantilever bridges. Our early projects comprised an innovative fin-back bridge in Texas and an iconic commission to design a deck erection gantry for the new bridge over the River Orwell in Suffolk (all 600 tonnes of it!).

Our reputation, globally, grew during the 1980s and 90s, after winning the geotechnical work on the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Building’s basement, launching the Dornoch Firth Crossing and the River Ceiriog Viaduct. One of the more notable projects of the era being the undertaking of the A38 Marsh Mills Interchange, which, at the time was British civil engineering’s biggest ever bridge slides.

Using IDEA StatiCa’s modelling tools, we were able to test various design options. The software allowed us to visualize the connection's performance, create detailed sketches, and produce comprehensive reports quickly.

While the design should prioritize cost-efficiency, the contractor has emphasized that the connections should be optimized for ease of fabrication. This approach ensures that the connections are straightforward to manufacture and assemble, facilitating a smoother construction process.
