BridgePro Engineering is a leading Tasmanian contractor specialising in innovative and high-quality end-to-end solutions, from concept to construction.

Foundation Construction

As every builder knows, the success of a project begins with the foundations.

This is true for bridge construction too, but also equally true for a range of other projects. Foundation construction is another core area for BridgePro Engineering.

Rock solid foundations

When it comes to constructing a bridge that stands the test of time, the foundations must be rock solid.

Our experience in bridge and marine design and construction has enabled us to develop a specialist skill set, which means our foundation piling is second to none.

We are able to provide:

  • Bored piles up to 1800 dia using our Soilmex SR-75 (70t) ir Entco (40t) rotary drilling rigs
  • Bored piles in hard rock using DTH to 1500 dia
  • Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles in 450 and 600 dia
  • Driven steel, concrete, or timber piles using our range of piling hammers from 15kJ through to our Junttan HHx210 with 210kJ
  • Steel screw piles up to 900kN
  • Sheet piles installed through vibration by excavator or crane suspended hammer
  • Ground anchors drilled using an excavator mounted drifter (50 to 127 dia) and DTH (150 to 305 dia)

Along with our specialist piling equipment, we have a range of excavators (8t to 45t) and crawler cranes (50t to 275t) ready for your next project!

Some things we are proud of

Hoggs Bridge

Hoggs Bridge

The project involved the construction of a new bridge span, which was badly damaged due to the June 2016 flood. Hoggs Bridge, on Native Plains Road between Railton and Merseylea, provides an important connection across the Mersey River, and a link for the greater Railton community to the Bass Highway.

Warrawee Suspension Bridge

Warrawee Suspension Bridge

The Latrobe Council issued a Request for Tender for the design and construction of a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Mersey River. The goal was to connect the Warrawee Conservation Area in Latrobe to the trails leading to Kentish and Railton, creating a vital link in the mountain bike trail network and boosting tourism in the region.

Mooring Dolphin at Berth 7 Burnie Port

Mooring Dolphin at Berth 7 Burnie Port

The project involved the construction of a new mooring dolphin at the end of Berth 7 at Tasports Burnie Facility. The completion of the dolphin permits the use of the wharf by much longer and larger ships, including Cruise Ships.

Latrobe Flood Mitigation Project

Latrobe Flood Mitigation Project

After almost six years since the 2016 floods, the permit to work within the habitat of the Central North Burrowing Crayfish has been officially confirmed, marking the long-awaited commencement of the Latrobe Flood Mitigation Project - with construction now almost finalised (August 2023).

The New Bridgewater Bridge

The New Bridgewater Bridge

Our most significant project to date has been working on the New Bridgewater bridge – Tasmania’s largest ever transport infrastructure project. The new four lane bridge will be the longest road bridge over water in Australia.

Devil’s Gate refurbishment

Devil’s Gate refurbishment

In 2016, divers and sonar scanning identified some significant erosion of the concrete lined plunge pool below the spillway of Devils Gate Dam which is submerged all year round. The repair is one of the most critical event to be done as the Devils Gate Power Station is due to a major refurbishment in 2018.
