Rosebery Mine Bridges

BridgePro designed and fabricated two single-span steel bridges to AS 5100 for MMG Australia: a 40 m span over the Stitt River and a 30 m span over Rosebery Creek, carrying a tailings pipeline to a new storage facility.

Project Overview

The bridges were designed to support 8 different piping schedules and maintenance platforms for regular servicing.

Works were completed on time despite a vertical cliff with a 15 m drop to water, restricted space and nearby high-voltage power lines.
