Project overview
Client: Richard Crookes
Access Equipment: Temporary Bridge
Location: Wentworth Point
THE CHALLENGE
Richard Crookes Constructions needed safe, dry access for their workers from the site shed to the worksite. With a road in between, sufficient overhead clearance for heavy vehicles and stretcher stair access was also required.
THE SUPERACCESS™ SOLUTION
SuperAccess™ offered the solution by building a 22m modular bridge that was high enough to enable heavy vehicles to pass below it and stair access from site sheds to the bridge. Drawings were made first to accommodate Richard Crookes’ specific requirements.
After a few site visits, we arrived at a final design that avoided discovered obstacles:
The SuperAccess™ team then built the stair box and bridge at our yard. Preassembling off-site allowed us to install Richard Crookes’ temporary access solution in a single day.
THE RESULT
During the 1.5-year hire period, our modular bridge did not weather or require any maintenance. Inspections were conducted each month to ensure the safety of the structure.
Richard Crookes was delighted with the reliability of our temporary bridge as our regular checks meant there was no major downtime experienced on site. Our access solution also led to significant cost savings as our client didn’t need to pay for expensive temporary traffic lights or traffic controllers; workers could easily pass above the road to the work site whenever they needed.
We look forward to helping provide more access solutions for Richard Crookes in the future.
