The Bennelong Bridge located in Western Sydney<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The Bridge is a dedicated Transit Way for busses, pedestrians and cyclists connecting the suburbs of Wentworth Point and the Rhodes peninsula.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The design and construct contract was delivered by a joint venture between Brady Marine & Civil and VSL Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> The 305m long, 12m wide bridge consists of a post-tensioned concrete box girder, erected by the balanced cantilever method using match-cast segments.<\/p>\n The scope of works included:<\/span><\/p>\n Special Features<\/b><\/p>\n A casting yard for the precast concrete segments was established on site in a disused warehouse provided by our client. From here, segments were loaded directly onto marine transport via a straddle carrier and bespoke temporary finger jetties. This saved the logistics, traffic congestion and CO2 emissions associated with an off-site casting yard. The straddle carrier was sourced second hand from a previous VSL project, enabling reuse of an existing asset.<\/span><\/p>\n The existing seabed contained contaminated soils from historical industrial activities on the adjacent sites. Brady Marine worked with their chosen designers to develop a design and construction solution which eliminated a requirement for removal of any seabed materials from within the driven piles, thereby avoiding the challenges of transporting an treating contaminated soils.\n
