We are delighted that our bridge over Bracklinn Falls in Callander, designed with Cake Industries, has picked-up yet another award. The structure was awarded the Design and Construction Award (under £10 million) as part of the Bridges Awards 2025. The plate-girder bridge is constructed from perforated weathering steel and was assembled on site from small modular components necessitated by the lack of access to the remote beauty spot.

A typology has been selected for the Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge in Portland Oregon. Following months of study, the preferred alternative, selected by the Community Design Advisory Group (CDAG) and endorsed by project owner Multnomah County is the “Inverted-Y” cablestayed span. This will link into an opening bascule span in the Wilamette River. BEAM was commissioned as Specialty Bridge Architect for the design of the replacement crossing, working closely with local engineering partners to design a new structure with a cohesive design that will be resilient to future earthquakes.
Our work with Cake Engineering on the upgraded coastal path from Céide Fields in County Mayo Ireland has been granted planning permission. The route includes this dramatic lightweight suspension bridge over a sea gorge.
Another award winner! The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge has been awarded the Figg Medal for “a single, recent outstanding achievement in bridge engineering that, through vision and innovation, provides an icon to the community for which it was designed”.
We are delighted that the Kids’ Bridge at Perth Childrens’ Hospital (Koolangka Bridge) has been presented with an award for Best Community Infrastructure by the Property Council of Western Australia. Congratulations to our collaborators at Fratelle and everyone else who worked on the project. Click here for more information about the project and BEAM’s involvement in it.

Our designs for the replacement crossing of Newark Bay in New Jersey are now in the public domain. BEAM worked with their engineering partners to investigate alternatives for the proposed twin cablestayed bridge for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority as part of the Preliminary Design stage of works.
