BG&E was engaged by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) to assess seven deteriorated bridges crossing structures in the Mallee district that were constructed in circa 2012.

These seven structures are situated in saline environments and were found to have experienced accelerated corrosion to steelwork during previous investigations, thereby raising concerns about adverse impacts on the original intended design life of 100 years.

BG&E undertook detailed site inspections and condition assessments, as well as load rating analysis of the bridge superstructures.

Following this, we developed various options for remediating the bridges. These remedial works are expected to prolong the life of the bridge structures, enhancing the resilience of the road network in the region.
