Specializing in the design of movable bridges, he invented a type of bascule bridge (drawbridge) and a vertical-lift bridge.
These mixtures were evaluated as alternative to basalt mixes for deck paving of the TianJin bascule bridge in China.
At the end, a totally new type of bascule bridge is presented: the double balance beam bridge (DBBB).

The most famous bascule bridge in the world and still working, it perfectly complements the battlements and vigour of the Conqueror's fortress.
Moreover, the structural performance of LEAM is evaluated by a finite element numerical analysis for a bascule bridge with LEAM pavement.
Next, one lift bridge, three swing bridges, and one bascule bridge are described in more detail, including older bridges that at the time of being designed and built had innovative, unique features.
The group has a decent track-record in this already, spending money in the last couple of years to restore the historic but unlisted Bascule Bridge and dock police hut on its estate, which had been left to rot for decades by its predecessor, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company.
