Captain Bishop Bridge provides the only road access to the Port of Brisbane. The bridge was constructed in the 1970’s to design loads that were considerably smaller then present day loading. The Port wished to evaluate the performance of the bridge for these new loadings.

Texcel evaluated the load carrying capacity of the bridge under different vehicles. Applying the results of an in-service performance test refined the evaluation.

The information enabled the Port of Brisbane Corporation to make better-informed risk management decisions relating to the most efficient utilisation of the bridge.
