Togari Bridge, Montagu

Replacement of a remote single-span bridge near Smithton with a 16 m long, 10.9 m wide structure on 4.5 m high cast in-situ concrete abutments.

Project Overview

Construction of a 16.0 m long, 10.9 m wide single-span bridge with 4.5 m high cast in-situ concrete abutments in a remote area of north-west Tasmania.

The works included formwork design, 50 tonnes of reinforcement, 400 m³ of concrete and 260 m² of site-specific formwork. BridgePro designed the formwork temporary works, which were independently proof checked.

The remote site called for a detailed logistics plan covering deliveries, storage and access routes. Reinforcement was delivered in batches against a clear placement plan, and the 400 m³ of concrete was poured in phases with on-site monitoring of curing.

Key figures: 16.0 m single span, 10.9 m wide, 50 t reinforcement, 400 m³ concrete. Design engineers: GHD.
