Lachlan's Line

Scope

To build a lightweight scaffold in the yard, which would be picked up by a semi-trailer, delivered to Lachlan's Line, then craned and installed into place.

Challenge

The main challenge at Lachlan's Line was making sure that, once the scaffold was built, the sections of the bridge would not interfere with it when they were lifted into place. We used the Layher LW bridging system to achieve the engineer's sign-off on the scaffold's weight and strength.

Performance

After understanding and investigating the scope of works, we designed and built a solution that gave the client the access they needed around the bridge. With the bridge being built over motorways and busy intersections, we had only six road closures to install our scaffold, so we divided the crew into two teams to complete the work. Once in place and secured, the team adjusted the scaffold to the fabricators' needs, and the client was very satisfied.
