  • Post tensioned and prestressed concrete plank bridges
  • Insitu concrete and concrete overlay
  • Post tensioned bridges
  • Bridge launching
  • Cable stay bridges

Precast Concrete Excellence

Precast concrete beams are a cornerstone of modern bridge building, valued for their strength, durability, and consistency.

Mass production ensures cost efficiency and rapid installation, while pre-stressing and post-tensioning enhance load-bearing performance.
Suitable for highways, rail, and pedestrian bridges, this method ensures both quality and speed. Fortec recently applied this approach on Bridge 5023 along Springdale Road in Hopetoun, WA.

Bridge Maintenance & Strengthening

The requirement to maintain the ongoing performance of bridges is imperative for the long-term sustainability and safety for all users.

Concrete, steel and timber bridges exist throughout Australia, and with changing loading codes and durability requirements to ensure longevity of the asset, maintenance and repair is a crucial requirement for both Government bodies and private asset owners.

We have an extensive network of staff and expertise available to provide immediate and urgent repair and rectification. Our unique ability to provide numerous services ensures the works are conducted quickly and with limited external assistance.

  • Carbon fibre bridge strengthening
  • External post tensioning
  • Timber bridge refurbishment
  • Bearing replacement
  • Cathodic protection
  • Concrete repairs

Bridge Launching

With proven expertise in Incremental Bridge Launching, Fortec combines technical know-how with practical experience to deliver smooth, efficient
installations.

We design and supply everything required.

From launch bearings and side guides to jacks, cables, and deflection systems. Our methods have powered landmark projects, including the new Fitzroy Bridge (replacing the flood-damaged original) and the Brooking Channel Bridge.
