ROLE
The Fixing Country Bridges Program is a NSW Government program, enabling councils to replace hundreds of timber bridges in poor condition and better connect regional and rural communities.
Many ageing timber bridges are susceptible to damage during natural disaster and weather events. Replacing them with modern materials improves their resilience and provides safer, more reliable travel and access for regional communities.
The package delivered for Bellingen Shire Council relied on the construction of temporary side tracks for community access, so the 3 x bridges in the contract could be constructed in short timeframes with minimal disruption to the community.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Construct 3 x bridges in tight timeframes to minimise disruption
Daily bridge crew scheduling
Materials management to the requirements of the design
Self perform 90% of the deliverables
Bridge component delivery in tight access
Unconventional crane lifts
