River Walkham Boardwalk and Magpie Viaduct (Structures)
 The scheme involved four distinct elements, all of which acted as preliminary works to a timber foot/cycle bridge across the Walkham Valley.
This bridge reconnected the old Plymouth to Tavistock railway track at a location one mile north of the Magpie Viaduct, which SWH has recently refurbished. This scheme was completed for Devon County Council.

Miller’s Crossing, Exeter (Structures)
 This 45m long slender steel deck crosses the River Exe in Exeter, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross with plenty of space.
The deck is supported by McAlloy tie bars running up to a vertical A frame then onto raking A frames with the tie bars being held down with a 50tonne counter weight in the form of a millstone. The A frame stays are on the west bank of the river, between the river and the mill leat. Access was a major factor in erecting the masts and deck section.
