Holbrooks Road Shared Use Structure and Paths

A lump sum design and construct contract to replace an existing timber structure which had fallen into a poor condition with a compliant shared use structure. The scope involved the full design management from concept to construction for a 60m long; 3m wide steel and recycled plastic shared use suspended underpass structure beneath Holbrooks Rd Underdale. Beltrame Civil developed a shot-crete mass footing design for the structure which removed the need for costly 14m deep piles. The structure designed for 1:100 year flood loads and a 100 year life had to weave its way down and through a very tight construction envelope. Additionally new approach paths, retaining walls and lighting were installed to complement the structure.
