This $240 million NSW Government-funded project involved the construction of a new 525-metre bridge located 70 metres downstream from the existing road and rail crossing. The precast segmental balanced cantilever bridge featured pier segments cast in two pieces, with the diaphragm omitted to significantly reduce lift weight.
CaSE supported Fulton Hogan by delivering temporary works designs and engineering services for segment transportation using SPMTs, segment lifting, diaphragm formwork, access systems, and independent checks of the temporary works.
We also provided permanent works design review and methodology consultation, including coordination with the permanent works designer, advice on geometry control, and the design of end-span falsework.
In addition, CaSE supplied experienced bridge personnel to support onsite construction. Our engineers oversaw segment erection, post-tensioning, logistics, optimisation of precasting methods, and the construction of pier segment diaphragms — all in accordance with TfNSW specifications. We were also involved in the inspection of the rail bridge during transportation, as well as the design of temporary propping and concrete deck falsework.
