Coogee Chemicals Pipe Bridge
Industrial
- Modular design to suit overseas manufacture and transport requirements.
- Design of crash barriers to resist substantial freight rail impact loads.
- Design for thermal movement.
Located in a dedicated services corridor in Kwinana, the pipe bridge was constructed to provide a direct link between fuel terminals on each side of Kwinana Beach Road plus enhancement of pipe access to the Kwinana Bulk Shipping Wharf.
The pipe bridge was designed to carry a variety of pipe sizes to accommodate various products such as diesel, petrol, water, acids and the like, and is utilised for transfer of products from the Bulk Shipping Wharf to the storage terminals.
The bridge is approximately 170m long and crosses Kwinana Beach Road plus six operating rail freight lines. Extensive liaison was required with rail and road authorities to establish required design criteria, with provision of substantial crash barriers to protect bridge pylons, located adjacent existing potential new roads and rail spurs.
