LoBEG - Structural Innovation in Bridge Assessment, Strengthening & Structural Maintenance London wide

Welcome to the LoBEG website. LoBEG was formed in the mid 80's to act in an advisory capacity to LoTAG (London Technical Advisors Group 2 Infrastructure) on any matters of bridge engineering London wide with the objective of promoting best practice within the profession. Also the exchange of information and experience of bridge engineering matters was encouraged.

In the late 90's with reduced financial aid being available for bridge works, the London Package Approach was introduced by LoBEG and managed by Westminster.

This is a priority based system ensuring that available funds are put to the best possible use to target the highest priority routes across London's road network.

Close liaison ensures that minimum traffic delay occurs during the implementation of bridge strengthening and improvements to London's highway structures.

One of the major projects was the strengthening of Westminster Bridge in front of the Houses of Parliament which was completed to programme and with minimal traffic disruption achieved with detailed planning and consultation at all stages of the project.

All 33 London boroughs are members working together to deliver major bridge projects to time and budget across London.

LoBEG also has close links with other organisations such as ADEPT (Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport), Railtrack, London Underground, Transport for London and Aselb.
