Short Street Bridge

Melbourne, Victoria

Single Bridge Lift:
Permadec was engaged to provide a cutting-edge formwork solution for the Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 project. Our responsibilities for the Short Street Bridge encompassed the design of Permadec panels tailored for installation on both the SUP bridge section and the main bridge section.

  • The main bridge design necessitated the installation of Permadec panels on the bottom flange in certain areas and the top flange in others.
  • This requirement led to the design of differing panel types, ensuring they could accommodate a deck depth exceeding 700 mm in some sections.
  • Additionally, panels were crafted with custom notched cut-outs for splice plate areas.

The SUP bridge Permadec panels featured integrated upstands, eliminating the need for edge formwork on site and enhancing overall efficiency.

Products Supplied

  • Permadec standard panels with integrated edge upstands.
  • Bespoke panels with notched cut-outs for seamless fitting around splice plates.
  • 150mm rib centres to suit reinforcement details and prevent on site clashes.

Key Facts

  • Offsite installation of Permadec panels reduced working at height requirements & rail possession risks.
  • Single lift of the 36 metre bridge, weighing 265 tonnes. This streamlined the overall construction sequence.
