Carbon Fibre Reinforcement

ABOUT

Port Fairy is a historic fishing town located on Victoria’s far south-west coast on the Moyne river, between Portland and Warrnambool.

IMPLEMENTATION

As part of the Princes Highway West Upgrades project, CPR Services undertook carbon fibre reinforcement (CFRP) bridge strengthening works to the North Main Drain Bridge in Port Fairy.

CFRP rods were installed to the bridge deck (under traffic management), while CFRP laminates were installed to the bridge soffit. Steel plates were also installed to further secure the laminates as per the engineering design.
