This project entails a sweeping upgrade of the historic Alligator Creek Bridge, located north of Rockhampton, QLD. The 253m long bridge, originally built in 1911, is being upgraded as part of Queensland Rail’s asset renewal program, with the scope of works including intricate piling in order to replace the bridge’s ageing concrete piers, as well as extensive general repairs and maintenance.
The new piers will ensure structural integrity and transfer of loads to a suitable stratum with sufficient rock socket length, with the works ensuring the safety of the bridge, reducing maintenance interventions and allowing removal of temporary speed restrictions.
While this is Haslin’s first rail project in Queensland, it comes off the back of a long line of complex rail upgrades in NSW, some $200M worth of works across both Sydney Metro and Transport for NSW’s Transport Access Program. Haslin’s collaborative approach has translated seamlessly to the sunshine state, with the team working proactively within Queensland Rail’s stringent safety systems across meticulously planned rail possessions.
