Projects.

Port Macquarie Hastings Council engaged Ductile Consulting Engineers to assess heavy vehicle capacity across its bridge network. Ductile evaluated 91 bridges and, using automated tools, delivered efficient insights and clear recommendations to guide access.

Routine inspections of the Orlando St Bridge revealed significant deterioration, leading to Ductile Consulting Engineers being engaged. Their analysis confirmed no load restriction was needed and informed repairs to extend the bridge’s life by at least 30 years at a fraction of replacement cost.

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulators (NHVR)s Strategic Local Government Asset Assessment Project (SLGAAP) is an Australian Government funded initiative to optimise heavy vehicle access on local road networks across Australia.

We assessed bridges, culverts and other road structures across 3 NSW Renewable Energy Zones to assess suitability for OSOM vehicle movements for wind farm developments. Using a staged assessment approach, we identified structures requiring further assessment or upgrade, to help plan safe and cost-effective transport routes.

Ductile Consulting Engineers supported regional councils with recovery from the 2022 floods. This included inspections, damage assessments, repair scoping and cost estimates, EPAR preparation and support with design, procurement and construction.

GSC engaged Ductile Consulting Engineers to assess its bridge network. Initial inspections identified which bridges met service requirements, with targeted follow-up informing management actions.

Armidale Regional Council had concerns over the capacity of three timber bridges. Ductile Consulting Engineers were engaged to undertake load rating assessments and provide management advice for the bridges.

Port Macquarie Hastings Council (PMHC) manages over 2,500 major and minor culverts across its stormwater network. To support their understanding and management of their culverts
