Stockton Bridge Half Joint Rehabilitation

Jaweria Saeed — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 06:25:00 +0000

Scope

Stockton Bridge is located over the north arm of the Hunter River, near Newcastle in NSW. Built in 1971, it is a concrete box girder bridge with an overall length of 1,023m. In 2007, the bearings were replaced in the two half-joints and monitoring of the structure has continued since.

From 2016, a design solution for strengthening the half joints was developed. This resulted in a detailed design solution of steel plates being bonded to the concrete. The expected completion of these work is in 2021.

CJC role

CJC was engaged to review the constructability of this design solution and conduct a Constructability and Health and Safety in Design (HSiD) Workshop. This included assessing the methodology chosen to complete the work which requires access underneath the bridge.

CJC was also engaged to undertake a reference design for the access system of a suspended platform and provide advice to TfNSW on the platform procurement.

Sydney Harbour Bridge Arch Maintenance Units (AMU)

Jaweria Saeed — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 06:25:00 +0000

Scope

RMS (now TfNSW) is proposing the replacement of the four existing Arch Maintenance Units (AMU) on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The dated AMUs are to be replaced with new infrastructure consisting of two cranes at each end that span between the top chords of the bridge.

The works are needed to provide safe and efficient maintenance access to the full bridge arch and lateral steel members.

The work scope will include replacement of existing stairs, handrails, tracks and power reticulation on the top chord.

CJC role

RMS engaged CJC to undertake an initial Constructability and Risk Workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the likely construction process with the RMS project team members, key project personnel and stakeholders, as well as identifying constructability issues and opportunities.

The initial Constructability and Risk Workshop focused on the installation works and did not consider the off-site manufacture or transport of components to Australia.

CJC prepared a Constructability and Risk Workshop Report outlining the outcomes of the initial workshop. This advice is to be considered in further developing/progressing the project.
