Bridges on the Alice Springs - Darwin railway project

The ADrail Design & Construction Joint Venture was responsible for the design and construction of the Alice Springs–Darwin railway project. The 1420 kilometre project required 93 bridges to be constructed in remote locations, many where the readily available workforce was unskilled, and the infrastructure to support construction projects was minimal. Emphasis had to be placed on appropriate constructability, minimising site activity, and maximising prefabricated steel and precast concrete components. The result is an economical and rapidly-built set of bridges.
