Project Value: $1.2M

Project Duration: 18 weeks

Client: Moreton Bay Regional Council

Project Overview

Moreton Bay Regional Council engaged QBC for  the construction of a new concrete bridge over Antibidawa Creek, Campbells Pocket Road, Campbells Pocket.  This project included the construction of a temporary side track, bored concrete piles, concrete pad footing, columns, pier headstock and abutments, pre-stressed concrete deck units, asphalt deck wearing surface, bridge railing, guardrail, services relocations, approach earthworks, bitumen surfacing and demolition of the existing timber bridge.

Project Characteristics

  • The construction of this project was in and around an idyllic waterway which had a small but steep catchment making stormwater runoff and site silt management problematic;
  • Construction of a concrete pad footing in rock in the creek bed required innovative solutions to maintain creek flows while establishing a dry work site.
  • Due to the narrow road corridor the side track has been designed with a single lane traffic light controlled configuration with a posted speed limit of 20 km/hr.
  • Slowing vehicles down to safely negotiate the side track was also identified as a project challenge.
  • Working in close proximity to overhead power supply also posed difficulties to piling and deck erection operations.

Key Project Objectives

  • A high quality, cost effective, low maintenance bridge which meets the Client’s requirements and expectations has been provided.
  • Establish new mutually beneficial relationships with a new Client and end endeavour to establish ourselves
