Project Details
The remediation and renewal works on the 60 year old Chevron Island Bridge involved concrete repairs to all existing abutments, headstocks and piers as well as replacement of the existing expansion joints, vehicle barriers and extending the width of the northern pedestrian footpath. Due to the age of the bridge, retro-fitting the new structures was a challenging process requiring close collaboration with the client and lead designers.
Known of our innovative constructions methods, the project team designed and installed a bespoke cantilever scaffold system to enable safe access under the bridge.
