Situated on the scenic Cape Arago Highway, this twin
leafed steel bascule bridge is a modern replacement for the 50 year
old swing span. We provided our client with estimated man hours
for the erection of the new main span and flanking spans. After
their bid was successful, we were engaged to provide detailed centre
of gravity calculations, counterweight requirements for final condition
and partial construction phases, erection procedures and rigging
design. We conceived and detailed a method of tieing back the leaves
at a vertical angle of 70 degrees, providing water traffic with
unrestricted entry into the harbour during construction.
