road and bridge

🚗🚗Traffic congestion along Ranford Road in Western Australia has improved significantly with the new Ranford Bridge officially completed and all lanes opened to traffic today. 🌉 The new Ranford Road Bridge is 1.2 metres higher, 15 metres longer and significantly wider - including six general traffic lanes (three in each direction), plus a dedicated bus lane and shared path for pedestrians and cyclists on each side. The new bridge is a significant structure, consisting of: ◾154 piles, between eight and 17 metres deep; ◾10 beams each weighing 197 tonnes; ◾140,000 kilograms of reinforcing steel; and ◾730 cubic metres of concrete. https://lnkd.in/gDASjXSq #WesternAustralia #CivilInfrastructure #Bridge #CivilEngineering #IEProRecruitment

Setting the foundation for maritime excellence! 🚢 Our recent asphalt works at the port exemplify the pinnacle of precision and durability in infrastructure development. From meticulous planning to flawless execution, we take pride in paving the way for smoother operations and enhanced longevity. At Roadsafe Asphalt, we understand that every inch matters, especially in critical port areas. Our team's commitment to excellence shines through in every project, contributing to the seamless flow of goods and services. As we lay down asphalt, we're also laying down the groundwork for efficient port operations. Infrastructure is the backbone of progress, and our work at the port reflects our dedication to building a solid foundation for maritime success. #docks #infrastructureinnovation #maritimetransport #engineeringsuccess #melbourne #constructionindustry #construction #australia #paving #asphalt #asphaltpaving #melbourne #infrastructure #road #roadsafety #roadconstruction #heavyequipment #asphaltrepair #cracksealing

Ever wondered what a road looks like under the surface? Take this diagram from the Bridge Inn Road Upgrade, where we've excavated the road down to ‘formation level’ at the intersection of Bassetts Road and Vantage Point Boulevard. If our crew digs down to the subgrade level and the material is stable, then we build up the pavement from there. But sometimes we find that ground conditions are a little softer than anticipated, and we need to do some extra earthworks to bring it up to standard. After that, we’ll: - Install new traffic lights - Reinstate the bus stop - Install new kerbs - Lay new asphalt  - Complete line marking All these activities are part of a detailed methodology for upgrading intersections. Bassetts Road will reopen in late-March, and Vantage Point Boulevard not far behind. #Roads #Construction #Asphalting #RoadSafety #Earthworks City of Whittlesea, Laing O'Rourke

The recently completed National Route R336 between Kirkwood and Addo had the following scope of work: ✅Roadworks and improvements ✅Crushing of material bridges ✅Retaining walls drainage improvements ✅Environmental compliance and management ✅Health and safety compliance and management #Siyasebenza #BeyondRoads #SANRALProjects

Safety is a primary consideration for the Blatnik Bridge replacement project. According to MnDOT, lessening the risk of a vessel hitting the structure—like what happened in Baltimore with catastrophic results—"will be a core component of Blatnik design work." https://ow.ly/5Zch50R5rgn

What are the Primary Reasons behind Railway Accidents? Infrastructure Defects: The railway infrastructure, which includes tracks, bridges, overhead wires, and rolling stock, is often defective due to poor maintenance, ageing, vandalism, sabotage, or natural disasters. Much of the infrastructure was built in the 19th and 20th centuries and has not been upgraded to meet the growing demand and modern standards. The railway system also suffers from a lack of funds, corruption, and inefficiency, which hamper its development and maintenance. Moreover, many routes are operating at over 100% capacity, which increases the risk of accidents due to congestion and overloading. Human Errors: The railway staff, who are responsible for operating, maintaining, and managing the trains and tracks, are prone to human errors due to fatigue, negligence, corruption, or disregard for safety rules and procedures. Human errors can result in wrong signalling, miscommunication, over speeding, or overlooking defects or hazards. The railway staff also lack adequate training and communication skills, which affect their performance and coordination. Signalling Failures: The signalling system, which controls the movement and direction of trains on the tracks, can fail due to technical glitches, power outages, or human errors. Signalling failures can lead to trains running on the wrong track, colliding with other trains or stationary objects, or overshooting stations. For example, the recent train accident in Odisha was reportedly caused by a change in electronic interlocking that was not communicated properly to the drivers. Unmanned level crossings (UMLCs): UMLCs are places where railway tracks crossroads without any barriers or signals to regulate traffic.

Bone VS Steel: A Road Safety Awareness Project This campaign, 'Bone VS Steel,' launched in Canada in October 2018 for SAAQ, ingeniously raises awareness about street crossing safety. WHY IT MATTERS: Over 2.35 million people die in road crashes each year, with pedestrians accounting for 22% of global road traffic fatalities. Street crossing safety is a vital concern, and this campaign creatively grabs attention to drive home the importance of being cautious. ACTION POINTS: 1. Spread of awareness in the local community. 2. Follow street safety rules and encourage others to do the same. 3. Stay informed about pedestrian safety measures. THE BOTTOM LINE: Safety is the top most priority for everyone. 'Bone VS Steel' reminds us to prioritize safety, turning a critical message into an engaging campaign. THE QUESTION: What creative approaches have you seen or used to promote safety awareness? Share your experience! Following #arience Arience
