Chinchen Street Bridge

Project Overview

Fortec was commissioned by the City of Newcastle Council to facilitate access and pressure wash the Chinchen St Bridge.

The primary objective of this undertaking was to evaluate the bridge’s current condition and outline any necessary repair work.

Fortec used a suspended scaffolding system in order to undertake the evaluation and pressure wash and following the completion of the pressure wash on the bridge, the Council’s Engineering team conducted a visual assessment and outlined the requirements for
repair work.
