Marine case studies
Lewis Bandt Bridge, Geelong
Swart & Sons were contracted by the South West Alliance (VicRoads) in 2018 to remediate approximately 480 metres of the metalwork railing on the outbound lane of the Lewis Bandt Bridge, located over the Moorabool River, approximately 11 kilometres from Geelong.
Three bridges, Adelaide Hills
In April 2018 Swart & Sons were contracted by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) to carry out cleaning and protective treatment to structural steel components of three bridges in the Adelaide Hills. One of the bridges contained lead paint so strict WHS and environmental conditions needed to be adhered to, ensuring no lead residue affected Swart workers, members of the public or the environment.
Murray River Ferry ‘Water Hen’
In late 2015/early 2016 Swart & Sons carried out cleaning and application of protective coatings to the ‘Water Hen’ ferry while it was at the Morgan dockyards for scheduled maintenance. Initial (stage one) works consisted of cleaning and preliminary blasting in accordance with DPTI specification. Once this had been completed the ferry was handed back to DPTI to complete stage two (weld testing) works. Stage three works commenced early in 2016 to conduct a final abrasive blast and application of protective coatings.
Adelaide Desal Plant
In July 2018 Swart & Sons were contracted by Adelaide Aqua Pty Ltd to carry out repair works on a concrete overflow tank. Works consisted of concrete repairs, abrasive blasting and application of protective coatings to the walls and floors of the tank. Due to the nature of the tank, work was considered to be ‘high risk construction work’, which incorporated working in confined spaces, risk of a person falling more than two metres plus working in an area with movement of powered mobile plant.
