Westgate Bridge Suspended Access Platforms Structural Designer: Alan White Design Ltd

摘要

In the project to widen the M1 motorway in Melbourne from eight lanes to ten, the strengthening works required to the Westgate Bridge were critical. The West Gate Bridge Alliance commissioned APS to provide access to the concrete approach viaducts, the steel box girder sections and the concrete soffits at the bridge piers. The design of these suspended platforms was performed by Alan White Design Ltd using a modular space frame access system which was designed, configured and modified to suit the particular aspects of this project.
