Railways are recognised as one of the most effective and efficient forms of transport and will play a major part in transport infrastructure in the 21st centrury. Whether transporting people between cities or hauling iron ore in the Pilbara, we are embarking on a new age where rail will make a major contribution to lifting economic productivity.
Most ageing rail bridge inventory has not been designed to carry these heavier loads. The challenge is to monitor, manage and, where necessary, rehabilitate existing and future bridge stock which is susceptible to the stresses of environmental degradation and increased usage.
At 21c Infrastructure Solutions we work closely with our clients to respond to these challenges by appying our world leading technology to conduct sophisticated condition assesments, to determine load carrying capacities and calculate residual life expectancies. Our services have several advantages over traditional visual inspections. Our dynamic monitoring technology is rapid and non invasive and enables engineers to detect damage not evident during visual inspections. In addititon to this, we apply our speciaist services to minimise future operating costs and find economic solutions to maximise the asset life expectancy.
Having carefully built an understanding of our clients needs, we are able to provide solutions that save money, optimise return on investment and give asset owners confidence that their bridge assets can cope with the demanding 21st century.
A wide range of solutions are provided by 21c Infrastructure Solutions, inlcuding:
