- This research, conducted through an EPSRC project (EP/M017354/1), was supported by major UK industry partners (e.g. Network Rail, JBA Consulting) with interests in bridge management. The presented experimental data underpinned the development of a new methodology for assessing debris-induced bridge scour, a critical factor previously ignored by bridge operators. The methodology, now embedded within the revised Highways England standards for scour risk management (CS 469), led to an EPSRC impact acceleration award, part-funded by the Devon county council (kevin.dentith@devon.gov.uk). The research also led to invited talks (e.g. Bridges 2018, two NERC ERIIP scour webinars: July 2018, November 2019).
