Abstract:

With the recent revisions to the Australian Bridge Code and other codes of practice around the world, the Roads and Maritime Services of New South Wales (RMS) propose to refurbish and improve the performance of the stay cable system and other infrastructure on the ANZAC Bridge. This will extend the life of this key link in Sydney’s transport network. This maintenance project is being delivered via an alliance framework by Bridge Solutions Alliance (BSA).

The project involves four main areas namely: Stay Cable Improvements; Access Improvements; Fencing and Temporary Works. In the development of the design solutions, the designers assessed a number of inter-related criteria including safety, cost, maintenance, urban design, community and stakeholder input, traffic and constructability. The latest technology in stay cable design and maintenance from around the world was investigated, a comprehensive load rating to current design standards was undertaken and in-situ testing was completed to determine the scope of works for the project.

This paper focus is on Stay Cable Improvement.
