RECO was contracted to design, supply and supervise the erection of the Forbes Rail Overbridge in January 2002. The works involved complete replacement of an aging wooden railway bridge with a new structure complying with current rail specification 300LA (AS5100). The structure comprises 10m of TechSpan® arch and 70m² TerraPlus® wing walls. Stringent time constraints requiring precision planning and execution of installation required that the structure, used extensively for goods transport, be upgraded over a single weekend to ensure minimum disruption to the rail traffic.
