One of the main aspects of Beards Drilling’s recent involvement in the Walkerston Bypass project was the construction of two bridge abutments. This major infrastructure development was a partnership with Fulton Hogan.

The Walkerston Bypass Project is a significant infrastructure development, all about improving traffic flow and safety in the Walkerston area. This project involved constructing a bypass to ease congestion and offer a better route for both local and through traffic. Our team played a vital role in this development, focusing on constructing key bridge abutments.

We handled the construction of two bridge abutments for this major project. Abutments are supports at the ends of a bridge that transfers the bridge’s weight to the ground and are a crucial part of a bridge’s design. With our expertise in building bridge abutments across Queensland, we made sure the structures were strong, durable and able to withstand sliding, overturning and settlement, providing lasting support for the new bypass.

• Efficiency and Precision: Our commitment to precision in building the bridge abutments reflects our dedication to quality infrastructure. Each abutment was constructed to the highest standards, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Collaboration with Fulton Hogan: Working closely with Fulton Hogan, we integrated our drilling expertise with their broader project goals. Our collaborative approach contributed to the successful advancement of the Walkerston Bypass Project, reflecting our dedication to teamwork and high standards of service.

Beards Drilling also provided an impressive amount of sub-horizontal drainage for this project, view this part of the project here.
