    65 YEARS OF PRESTRESSING CONCRETE IN NEW ZEALAND BRIDGES JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand 2Senior Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand SUMMARY Prestressing has played an important role in extending the span capability and economy of concrete bridges. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that prestressed concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges and Kiwi engineers made considerable early use of prestressed concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with new and innovative materials. INTRODUCTION Prestressed Concrete is one of the most cost effective and durable construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. Originating in France, prestressing in bridge construction was introduced in early 1950’s. In the United Kingdom, the first major prestressed concrete road bridge was the replacement for Northam Bridge[24], Southampton in 1954. Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia completed in late 1950, is considered the first prestressed concrete bridge in the USA[25]. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the world, made considerable early use of prestressed concrete in bridge construction. IPENZ’s records indicate that in 1954 the Hutt Estuary Bridge[18] used post-tensioned prestressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. Upper Hutt City Council also claims their Bridge Road Bridge B8/1, built in 1954 over the Akatarawa River, was the first prestressed bridge in New Zealand[17].

  • History of Concrete Bridges in New Zealand
    HISTORY OF CONCRETE BRIDGES IN NEW ZEALAND JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1 Senior Associate, Beca Ltd 2 Technical Director, Beca Ltd SUMMARY Concrete is one of the most cost effective, durable and aesthetic construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges, and in particular bridges that use beams, columns and arches as the main load bearing elements. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the Victorian period, made considerable early use of concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with a new and innovative material. The first reinforced concrete bridge was built over the Waters of Leith in Dunedin in 1903. In 1910 the Grafton Bridge in Auckland became the world’s longest reinforced concrete arch bridge, 21 years later the Kelburn Viaduct was built in Wellington. Taranaki was especially forward-looking in using concrete arch bridges and has many fine examples. In 1954 another major development occurred when the Hutt Estuary Bridge used post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. This led to the construction of New Zealand’s first pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge on the Wanganui Motorway in 1962. Pre-stressed concrete made slim and elegant construction possible, like the 1987 Hāpuawhenua Viaduct on the North Island Main Trunk railway line.

As a result, the Northern Motorway Upper Harbour interchange, and the adjacent sections of SH1 and SH18, have been identified as critical sections of Auckland’s motorway network. These sections of State highway currently operate with significant congestion, and this congestion is predicted to worsen following the completion of the Western Ring Route, and as a result of growth in population and employment anticipated for Albany (including the surrounding areas) and areas further north.
