Project overview
Client: RMA Contracting
Access Equipment: 20m Temporary Bridge
Project: River Rd Culvert replacement
Location: Leonay, NSW
THE CHALLENGE
RMA Contracting faced a significant challenge during a culvert replacement project near the intersection of River Road and Buring Avenue in Leonay, NSW. Due to delays outside of the contractor’s control, local residents had been without access to a walkway for many months and were raising concerns. RMA Contracting requested a solution that would allow safe pedestrian access while the critical infrastructure work was underway.
Our team collaborated closely with RMA Contracting and visited the site before arriving at the final design. We preassembled the bridge at our yard, transporting it in two sections that were then joined on site. Thanks to meticulous planning and coordination, the bridge took only half a day to install, enabling minimal downtime.
THE RESULT
For three months, the temporary bridge ensured that the community could move safely and freely while RMA Contracting carried out the necessary trench work. Residents were pleased with the quick response to their concerns, and RMA Contracting was able to proceed with the culvert replacement without further disruptions. RMA was thrilled with our solution which, in addition to being a safe strategy for pedestrian access, was a more cost-effective strategy than their initial idea of installing a permanent steel bridge.
We look forward to providing more innovative access solutions for RMA Contracting and supporting their future projects.
