Name
Forbes Overbridge

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.
