When an existing bridge design for a site in Huapai, Auckland specified a double hollow core bridge, the proposed solution came with a significant price tag.
Bridge It NZ was brought in to take a fresh look at the project and see whether there was a more practical and cost-effective way forward.
Drawing on our experience in both bridge design and construction, our team engineered a 17m Steel Beam Concrete Deck bridge that met the site's flood requirements while substantially reducing construction costs.
By looking at the project as a whole, rather than simply working from the existing design, we were able to find a solution that achieved what the site needed without unnecessary cost or complexity.
The result is a durable, long-term access solution and a great example of the value specialist bridge experience can bring to a project.
Sometimes, the biggest savings come from taking another look at the design before construction begins.
