Case Study: Livingstone Shire Council restores bridge and culvert infrastructure with Pensar

Livingstone Shire Council repairs 3 bridges and culverts in 2 months with Pensar

Livingstone Shire Council faced significant challenges with the Appleton Drive Bridge, where three structures were deteriorating due to concrete cracking, spalling, and steel corrosion in a saltwater environment. The council engaged vendor Pensar to repair the damage caused by alkali-silica reaction (ASR), with the additional complications of working in high-traffic areas and a sensitive ecological site with tidal waters.

Pensar developed a system to manage the tidal water flow with minimal environmental disturbance and sourced specific environmentally friendly products, including underwater grout and non-deteriorating form tube. The vendor adjusted its concrete patch repair techniques for each specific repair to ensure optimal strength and finish. This solution successfully repaired the infrastructure assets while adhering to strict environmental precautions.
