    Gladesville Bridge – 50th Anniversary Ken Maxwell – Associate Technical Director, Bridges Hyder Consulting, Sydney Gladesville Bridge – Opened 2nd October 1964 Outline of Presentation • Old Gladesville Bridge. • Early concept design options for replacement bridge. • DMR tender design. • Accepted alternative design. • Arch falsework. • Arch design. • Arch construction. • Approach spans – design and construction. • Heritage recognition. • Opening ceremony. Gladesville Bridge – Parramatta River Old Gladesville Bridge • Constructed 1878 to 1881. • Wrought iron lattice girder spans. • Swing span for navigation purposes. Old Gladesville Bridge (approximate location) 1956 1881 Reasons for New Gladesville Bridge • New bridge originally intended to be part of Sydney’s North Western Expressway (road linking Sydney City to the northern suburbs and through to Newcastle). • Earlier bridge’s useful service life exceeded. • Only two-lane traffic capacity – ‘bottleneck’ to traffic flow. • Swing span – abrupt interference to traffic flow. • North Western Expressway project was abandoned in the 1970s due to protests about the freeway's projected route through inner city suburbs such as Glebe and Annandale. Early Concept Designs • Concept designs developed by DMR’s Bridge Section, headed by Design Engineer Cliff Robertson (one of John Bradfield’s senior assistants on Sydney Harbour Bridge). • Bridge Section of DMR included a number of other highly-respected bridge engineers during this period, namely Vladimir Karmalsky, Albert Fried and Brian Pearson. DMR Tender Design – Steel Cantilever Bridge Tender Process • 1957 – tenders invited by Department of Main Roads (DMR), based on steel cantilever bridge, but alternative designs permitted (tenders closed October 1957). • Four (4) companies tendered for the steel design. • Tenders ranged from £2.51 M to £3.87 M.

The description needs to provide a concise, but clear description of the initiative’s scope. (approx 3 paragraphs) A motorway connection, mainly in tunnel, from the eastern end of the Western Freeway (M4) at North Strathfield to the western outskirts of the Sydney CBD and the road network near Sydney Airport. It would link M4 to the eastern section of the Sydney Orbital via the Cross City Tunnel and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The eastern section of the M4 (east of Parramatta) would be widened/upgraded. A twin tube tunnel is proposed from North Strathfield to just south of Campbell Road at St Peters with connections to the City West Link at Lilyfield/Rozelle and Parramatta Road/Broadway at Glebe/ Chippendale. A bus only connection at Parramatta Road, Haberfield is also possible. A further tunnel is proposed to connect Victoria Road near Gladesville Bridge to the main tunnel in the Leichhardt area. There is a proposed surface motorway link from just south of Campbell Road to the road network around Sydney Airport probably connecting to Canal Road and Qantas Drive (the latter subject to M5 East Expansion planning and Sydney Airport Corp Ltd agreement) with a potential link to M5 at Arncliffe.

  • THE MAKING of the NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950
    THE MAKING OF THE NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950 Robert Martin Kear M.Bus. (University of Southern Queensland) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Philosophy in History January 2018 This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that the work embodied in the thesis is my own work, conducted under normal supervision. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted, or is being examined, for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and any approved embargo. Robert Kear ii ABSTRACT Aim of this Thesis The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development.

Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).
