| Summary of
Observations andRecommendations |
This observation is for lane 2 of the bridge, in which the material is used
For bridges such as: Steel, stone, cement, concrete, timber, aluminum, and iron are used in the bridge making every lane the same material is used because the bridge is the same as all lanes. In this lane construction, the contractor fulfills safetyrequirements which are very important, in the bridge inspection process, we are developing plans for achieving the project, the prior design of the project, and the predetermined cost for the project. The Sydney harbor bridge is a very famous bridge or steel-arch bridge in Australia, the span of this bridge is 500 meters.The designer of this bridge is Dorman long.(Mirza, et al., 2020) The total length is 1,149 m, below I will attach the document of the bridge and the cost of the bridge THE HARBOUR BRIDGE LANE 2 OF THE HARBOUR BRIDGE This bridge has six lanes and it is operating as a toll road in the past history, this bridge has a wide cycleway for cyclists and this way the fencing is on that way so that people do not commit suicide. It has four railroad tracks, it has also two walkways, and a highway, this highway is an intrinsic part of Sydney.(Mirza, et al., 2020) One drawback is exhausted air in the tunnel. The total cost spend is 10 million pounds. recommendations for bridge: 1) Abutment plan 2) Safety 3) Site conditions 4) Trail width 5) Geotechnical analysis The area which must be inspected: 1) Bearing inspection 2) Inspection of the waterway system 3) Foundation inspection needs to be inspected properly 4) Substructure such as Impact damages, honeycomb, concrete 5) Wearing coat should be inspected 6) Concrete Crash Barrier For maintenance of the bridge, it requires regular inspection of the bridge and safety for the public is required. The trade involved in bridge construction are Fitters, Riggers, electronics, painters, carpenters, plumbers, and boilermakers. The greatest maintenance is bridge painting , and painting is necessary for Steelwork, each bridge coat is 30,000 L paint used. This is all for the HARBOUR BRIDGE. |
